I'm not so sure that quality of equipment alone is the decisive factor everytime in every case. Desert Storm as the example, favored better equipment over quantity, but also, better training. Most engagements happened over barren desert with far and wide fields of fire. Would that hold true if the same war had happened in Fulda, Normandy or Italy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
