Oh is that the ocean? I thought it was like a desert or an arid plain.

Re: Name that Battle!
It is. The Battle of the Bay of Pigs Invasion is generally regarded as occurring between the 17th and 19th April 1961, but imo it began with this action - the attack on the airfields on the 15th April. Three airfields were attacked simultaneously by 8 B26s painted in the colours of the FAR (Fuerza Aerea Revolucionaria, the Cuban government's airforce). The planes were prepared by the CIA for Brigade 2506 and crewed by exiled Cuban pilots and navigators who flew them out of Nicaragua and called themselves the FAL (Fuerza Aerea de Liberacion). The surprise attack had mixed or even limited success, only destroying about 5 Cuban armed aircraft and several civilian and unarmed aircraft. One B26 was destroyed with the lose of some crew after ditching at sea when damaged by AA fire and another was damaged and landed in Florida.

From what I can see it's either the Balkans or Russia in 1941/42. Although I'm more inclined to say Russia. That house on the left doesn't look Balkanesque enough.

Operation Silver Fox, German troops advancing on Murmansk.
Get to see Falkenhorst and Dietl in action again. Sort of like the "Desert Fox" of the Arctic circle.

Long car journeys are a battle unto themselves, I tend to find.I don't see any battle, Markas
It's Arctic Fox, that was part of the overall Silver Fox Operation. Your turn.
