Well I was referring more to the political decisions about wanting to issue TW CADPAT to the whole Army (or something to that effect) before even beginning to produce AR.
From those photos you provided of the PPCLI guys and the pictures I've seen on the DND Combat Camera site - to me it still clearly shows that TW CADPAT ain't the best choice for Afghanistan. MULTICAM or SpecAm Arid would be better. Whilst the TW CADPAT wasn't
as obvious in that mountainous terrain, it still wasn't that great either.
