Huh, hopefully this won't lead to their convictions or anything. To be fair, though, all camps here in Greece have signs posted on multiple places stating that photography is illegal.

Something about this doesn't sound right to me. Or is this just the Greeks being paranoid/BI employees being stupid?

If you're working on a game based around military facilities and want to get reference material of these facilities, Why wouldn't you seek cooperation before hand?

Doubly so if you're basing it on a country who are touchy about such things and convicted a planespotters of espionage.

Hope they'll be ok. Espionage is a big word, it implies malice, which I am sure was not the case. ArmA players know what I'm talking about.

Taking pictures of military bases sounds fishy, but not if you've ever played Armed Assault. Reality is their biggest selling point.

Something similar happened a few years ago with a bunch of UK planespotters. The Greeks are very touchy about military matters.
