Okay, I know the real Dutch army has had PzH2000 for some time now but they're doing some great work in A-stan so I've decided that My Dutch forces should have PzH2000 as well. So why should you care? Well you shouldn't I guess I just wanted to share.

Paul, thank you for the insight. I now need to buy more.
What color scheme in A-stan are Dutch using? What do they have deployed there? What equipment?

The July/August edition of Defense Technology International shows the vehicles in 3-color NATO pattern but the crew is wearing a desert camo pattern. The article says they brought four PzH2000s over (1 fired missions at the forward base, Camp Holland, the other three were in reserve a day's drive away - probably in Kandahar). Un specified recovery vehicles were mentioned as well as YPR-765s and Sisu XA-188 6x6 APCs. For air cover five AH-64Ds and six F-16s with targeting pods and JDAMs are also available. They are operating alongside Aussies who are using LAVs and "12-ton Bushmaster blastproof trucks". The Dutch are apparently impressed with the Bushmaster and are buying 25 of them.
