Terry,

I will encourage TC to take a look at it. He is the resident CO expert in my house.

There's a limited amount of game specific stuff there, but feedback is always welcome.

I do not know your background of course so any help TC may be able to extend may not be needed. But just to let you know his "credentials" so to speak. TC has a degree in international affairs and has passed his foreign service exam. He has been a geography nut his entire life (even as a pre-teen he knew most of the flags of the world--not just national but regional and military--by sight) and knows all about foreign governments their intelligence services and their geopolitical positions. His goal is to become a diplomat or work in the diplomatic service. Oh, and he also has looked into applying with the CIA.

If I sound like a proud pappa crowing about his son--well I am.
Boy two just passed his fire fighters and EMS classes top in his class, knows the mechanics of dozens of RPGs and is working on designing his own.
Boy three enters the Navy--IT work--in July.

Ah well, boasting finished.

Anyway, TC is a good sounding board for the CO's stuff, and has written missions himself. Big thing is getting time to look over stuff, but I will mention it to him if he has not seen this post.

This mission has more physics in it than international politics, but the background stuff is as accurate as Google can make it. The mission, however, is more straight investigation.

The aim of the campaign, though, is not realism, it's more James Bond cinematic, so some liberties were taken.

Next mission will have a lot more political intrigue to it.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Time is always the challenge.
