But the use of ground troops or missiles strike launched from naval vessels will not be permitted after Germany and Spain expressed reservations over the expanded rules of engagement.
Doesn't leave a lot then does it ... land based strike aircraft carrying humongous amounts of 1000lb bombs ... yep that'll do it!
I rather suspect that you are interpreting the limits too widely.
Sorry Broadside ... my interpretation was definitely tongue-in-cheek - although it could be a fiendish plot by the RAF to give them something else to justify their existance! Although to be honest if the use of Ground Troops is out along with ship based missle stikes ... it doesn't leave a great deal to the imagination - but there again I'm only a humble doc and not versed in all the whoosh whizbangs that you lot play with!
Mind having read the ROE again ... doesn't say we cant park just offshore and start lobbing HE 45 shells at 'em does it????
Due to cutbacks in the munitions spending account, the bombs that we will be dropping will only be this big ..
