Fair use rationale for Image:TacOpsInGame.png
edit
Image:TacOpsInGame.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Last sentence of lead
editThe last sentence of the lead:
- The game is noted for its encyclopedic array of modern arms and units, and the detailing of the combat.[by whom?]
Should be supported by the following paper:
- Kennedy, R., Antal, J.F., Audet, J.M.A., Beauvais, J.I.M., Blair, J., Daniels, J., et al. (2000). Using TACOPS to enhance our training in dispatches – lessons learned for soldiers. The U.S. Army Lessons Learned Centre, 6(4)
I don't know if it's available on the internet. A FOIA request may be necessary. I discovered this paper in this book, page 4175. Here's a short passage from that book:
- Still further up the command chain (brigade to regimental level) sits TacOps15 — a turn-based 2D game of tactical ground combat. TacOps has commercial and military versions, and has been employed in training by the U.S. Army and Marines; Australian Army; German Army; Canadian Army; and New Zealand Army. Kennedy and other U.S. Army officers (Kennedy, Antal, Audet, Beauvais, Blair, Daniels et al., 2000) have provided a rather detailed description of the process of U.S. Army employment of TacOps.
(Likely short enough that it's not copyvio to share). That book was published by IGI Global, which IIRC is blacklisted, but it seems of excellent quality.
