Libya and Planetside

[Raymac]

I'm not sure this is the right place for this discussion, but I figure it could always be moved if needed.

Watching the coverage of the conflict in Libya, I can't help but be reminded of many battles we've had in Planetside. I mean it feels like a classic Planetside field battle between 2 bases that are far apart i.e. between Baal and Akkan on Ish.

One side will have the momentum and push forward until their supply lines are stretched to where the defender has the advantage and force a retreat. Then as that other side pushes their new advantage, their supply lines get stretched and they stall, and start to get pushed back again.

I've been in alot of back and forth battles like this in Planetside, so I just automatically make the connection even though I know PS is far from real war. The issue that worries me about this is that these battles are typically very very long stalemates that arn't easily broken.

So unless the rebels can organize a massive Gal drop with a few OS's...I'm thinking this is going to be a very long civil war. What do you guys think?
