LOL Amigo Miragedriver if I didn't know you, I would think you're a Kremlin Troll

I said I would be occasionally posting here, and this time the occasion is related to the very special development around so called shrinking Eastern Ghouta Pocket:
Jan 14, 2017
which is not shrinking now:Nov 20, 2016
an update (it's ):
it's above me how incomparably bigger Aleppo fell in coupla weeks
EDIT
now I kept clicking back from the above post until I got to
Dec 8, 2015
and of course it's been holding for two (?) years already at that time (and I hadn't heard of it until then)

I heard BBC Radio 4 talk about these fights this morning and the impression given by the correspondent, without directly answering to the suggestion of the presenter of the Today program that it was a desperate effort to prevent the area being cut up by SAA, was that that was what was happening.

I spent some time figuring out north-to-Hama area in the past:
Oct 1, 2016
Oct 1, 2016
... the latest was Oct 29, 2016as an armchair general, I use Sectors now(previously https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/is...o-oped-no-politics.t6913/page-421#post-413187 numbers):
"A" (from the top-left corner down in the above map):
- Kurnaz G (as in 'Government held')
- Al Hamamiyat R (as in 'hold by Rebels')
- Jubbayn G
- Halfaya R
- Muhradah G
- Al Majdal G; "A" ends
"B" (the bottom part):
- Khattab G
- Qimhanah G
- (not shown, but important) "Mount Zayn al-Abdeen" () G
- Iskandariyah R
- Kafr Ra G; "B" ends
"C" (where most of the fights have been going on recently):
- Mubattan G
- Kawkab R
- Tayyibat al Ism G
- Qarah R
- Junaynah G
- Zugbah G; "C" ends
"D" (I don't know almost anything here):
- Duma R
"D" ends somewhere where ISIL is to the east (and out of this map) ...
presumably it should be easy to track now, but who knows ...
and now I read Government lost today what's in map right above spelled Souran and Ma'ardas; I'll consider updating this

Yesterday at 9:06 PM
just noticed
previously I figured the defensive perimeter of Hama was set in like arc (marked above) around Arzeh - Qomhana - Mount Zayn - Mount Kafraa (fire control of the areas in between)
anti-Government offensive is in progress (by the way Government has been under attack in several other areas as well) and basically I'm waiting for new map(s) to appear ...
just noticed
in "B" above, Khattab area, reportedly Government lost the base which is marked:...
