re: #440 MandyManners

They are NOT fufilling their mandate.

OK, you are in command of a German warship off the Lebanese coast. You got some info by German and Allied intelligence that SS Bomb is carrying weapons for Hizbollah. This information is supported by recon units.

Your mandate is to support the Lebanese governments efforts to stop arms smuggling. You shadow the SS Bomb, ready an assault team and inform the Lebanese. The Lebanese decide either to take no action or insist on searching the ship on their own, allegedly finding no weapons at all.

What do you do?

Acting alone against SS Bomb is a violation of the UN mandate …

I am limiting my comments to naval stuff, as I have been following said campaign since 2007, but have no detailed info on land operations. Sorry.
