Finnish computer magazine Mikrobitti got to play Steel Beasts against the pros in the Finnish Defence Forces. I don't speak Finnish, so could you help us out, Lumi? :) Also, the Steel Beasts mousepads appear to have that WLS truck, it's a Scania PRT:

They've replaced the old computers that they had back in January 2013, which you can see here:

I was watching it again, and I realized that the guy at the beginning of the video is Zipuli!

Some more observations:
- From what I can tell from here (http://www.fujitsu.com/fts/products/computing/pc/desktops/datasheet-finder/) the computers are Fujitsu Esprimo P series, but older models, as they have different PSUs and different back panel ventilation
- The monitors are E24T-7 Pros (https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/ds-display-e24T-7-pro.pdf). They're 1080 IPS monitors, but don't have true 8-bit color, being 6-bit + FRC dithering. Fujitsu has a nice 1440p monitor (https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/ds-display-p27-8-ts-pro.pdf), and a nice 4K monitor (https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/ds-display-p27-8-TS-uhd.pdf). Zipuli should look into those if he can get upgrades for the graphics cards and PSUs on their computers. Fujitsu does have a hardware customization service (http://www.fujitsu.com/fts/products/computing/customize/hardware-services/).
- The mice are SteelSeries Sensei RAW Rubberized mice.

Nice catch!
Also well spotted details. Our army purchased these computers to be used in all garrisons with VBS3. We got them also and updated the old SB classroom you saw in my video. This story is about team Mikrobitti trying the sim vs. our simulator conscrips (who do code, models, maps etc.).
And that truck you spotted in the mousepad... maybe a hint about something? ;-)

The truck is a hint of things to come. It's already been stated by Grenny/Ronin that some of the mugs eSim Games sells show things to come (http://www.steelbeasts.com/topic/11577-mugs-posters-mousepads-magnets/#comment-172110). I took another look at Fujitsu's hardware customization service, and it talks about customizing hardware from the beginning, so I'm not sure if that will cover upgrading your existing computers. By the way, do you have any idea of what CPUs and graphics cards your computers are running?

Great article. Thank you for sharing. :) It contained lots of useful information.

You're welcome. Some other things I noticed from the article:
- They're using Windows 10
- It looks like they're using TeamSpeak
- The green thing on the mousepad isn't a bush, it's a 3D model in wireframe form

Yes, the wireframe looks just like a pallet of some sort being lowered to the ground by the truck.
