Sure, peacekeeping? I'm not sure a full on battle with head to head contact between tanks and infantry elements exactly quilifies as a 'peaceful' mission. IIRC, it says the mission is to eliminate the militia agent. Either way, its a name, Devs can work on harder things than finding a cool name.

I personally think that naming operations after sentence fragments sounds a lot weirder than just single code words. I thought a mission codename wasn't supposed to be a propaganda recruitment tool but a way of naming the thing without having to like... say "Hey when we go and invade this specific sector of the coast with CAS and beach landings covered by timed smoke drops..."
Aren't code names used so that you don't have to give away the meaning of the mission? Like during WW2 the Germans actually used their code name for the Ardennes Offensive as a cover so that British and American intelligence would think that they were definitely NOT going to attack. Operation Watch on the Rhine. Or even better, Wacht am Rhine.
I should amend my previous statement. All ENGLIGH titled operations that are sentence fragments sound silly.
Lets compare.
Operation Iraqi Freedom = Gay
Operations Irakisch-Freiheit = WICKED SICK!

Yes Ratlover, peacekeeping. It is a NATO operation as the description says and it is led by the UK. It is an operation to rid criminal from a region and allows the government to stay and funtion which ends in ultimately no real gain for the british other than another stable country to screw over for economic puposes, Peacekeeping. Dont worry Foreign Policy expertise is not expected from anybody.

Alas, Ratlover is right. Perhaps you should also look up the definition of peacekeeping.

Then I should have endend it with a /Sarcasm and/or Satire. Could have cleared it up a bit more for ya my bad.
And too bad Iron Taxi is retired. I was hoping for a solid stream of awesome for years to come. I guess I gotta settle for mediocrity. Just kidding Dr. Rank your maps are good also

I'm sorry mate. I got the impression that you were trying to be a jerk. I've also edited my post to look a tad bit nicer.

I've been attacked by a dragonfly once in my backyard, it did several dive attacks at my head. And i've been led to believe they pack a rather mean sting.
So all in all Dragonfly is pretty badass.
