I stand corrected! This is a report published by RAND detailing the results of a computer model they ran of a hypothetical China-Taiwan scenario.

It looks interesting. It's unclassified, and it has more than enough detail to allow one to start thinking about the military aspects of a "realistic" China-Taiwan invasion scenario.

Hmmm... reading this gives me an idea for a realtime four day mission-campaign.

It would certainly solve any problems with player's being just a bit too proliferate with weapons, as it would be entirely possible to deplete your entire stock of ordnance before the endgame. Imagine actually having to come up every six hours to copy down the submarine broadcast for continuing updates and orders.

I have to ask though, would anyone be willing to play a mission where long stretches of time would have to be taken up by max time accleration with a relatively low percentage spent in active combat?
