==In Real Life== [[File:British-16-Air-Assault-Brigade-1-696x438.jpg|300px|right|thumb|"Blimey, what are they doing to that tea??"]] While it was indeed true that the 6th Brigade was given an exceptionally large amount of Milan missiles, it is important to remember WHY they are the exception. The Milan is a notoriously heavy bit of kit, with the accompanying set of fresh missiles taking up even more weight that the soldiers would have to carry. While Iron Maiden suggests that the platoon would employ shoot and scoot tactics; it would have been foolhardy to suggest that such tactics could actually be employed. While concealment of a Milan team would be viable, the ability to perfectly camouflage a 5-tonne helicopter is questionable. Divisional artillery or bombers covering the Soviet advance would turn the lightly equipped highlanders into haggis while destroying their fragile little helicopters. Ultimately, it is best to take these tactics with a handful of salt; and remember that this specific composition is no longer seen in the British Army or any other heliborne infantry unit. In modern times, the airmobile role is fulfilled by 16 Air Assault Brigade, within this operates the Parachute Regiment, the Royal Ghurka Rifles and the Royal Irish Rangers {{British Forces in Team Yankee}} [[Category:Team Yankee]]
