The following series are just fictional. No political point is made.
The backdrop: a 3 men patrol of the 32nd Latvian National Guard Infantry Battalion has been ambushed by pro-Russian guerrillas. Just with enough time to run away from their burning vehicle, the Latvian infantry takes refuge in a nearby church.

Dogs of War is a virtual unit that plays a variety of simulations and games. Their style of play emphasizes immersion and realism. There are no ranks the style is semi-casual. This is a great group to join for your online forays or even to chat about anything of interest (they have a TeamSpeak channel).

Steel Beasts ProPE - I'd Rather Have Tanks Than Being Just Lucky
In one of my favorite movie scenes of all times, Sergeant Horvath and an unknown grenadier aim guns at point blank from each other just to find themselves out of ammo. Both throw their helmets at each other and in the end resort to their side weapons. This scene from Saving Private Ryan presents unrelenting violence that doesn't go away when weapons fail. On the opposite end, a very much debated account from the Sherman tank commander Lt. Gordon during Operation Goodwood (WWII) explains how his tank crew and a Tiger's tank crew shared a slit trench after bailing out during a particularly intense firefight. Just a few "suspicious looks" exchanged, Gordon explains (Tigers in Normandy, Wolfang Schneider, Stackpole Books [2011], page 141)
In this scenario, one of my tankers has been closer to the latter situation.

Arma 3 - Suppression, Bot Style, Now Available in Plain Vanilla Version
I know everybody is very excited about the upcoming Apex and Tanoa but just let me share my excitement about the complete rehaul of the "suppressive fire" command that a player can give to computer-controlled members of his squad.
Graviteam Tactics Mius Front - Armor Shock
Mius Front is one of the most underrated gems in the history of computer-based, serious tactical wargames. Yes, the interface has all those icons that you wish were different. But we all speak the same language when it comes to wargaming, I want to believe.

A short flight in the DCS SA342 Gazelle
For those of you who asked about how is to fly the DCS SA342 Gazelle, there you go. You start nice and composed. And by the end of your flight you end up asking what just happened.
Cheers,
