So here it is in action- in the rolling hills overlooking the low ground of the combined Syrian and allied force crossing the Purple Line in the area of the anti-tank ditch (to be added later). I'm coming close I believe to getting the claustrophobia of the Valley of Tears north of Kuneitra (another battle I'm working on). These shots don't adequately show how dirty everything gets and how line of sight gets obscured by all the smoke, but it's looking good.
