Sandbox scenario

Post by bladesinger79 »

Been working on a "what if" long term scenario in the Persian Gulf. What if the USA in 2017 packed their bags up and left the entire region? This exodus was finished early 2019 and left the region open for Iran to go crazy, only the Arab League stands in their way with no help from anywhere except maybe NATO (minus the USA). Spent a good four months on this, it's a huge scenario.

No scripting, no LUA. I had intended to use this for my own entertainment, but it's not fun to play if I run both sides.

For Iran, I had place their entire naval and air forces on the board. In addition, there are a number of ground forces deployed for taking the Musandam Peninsula, and potentially other locations at a later time if not on H-Hour. Their goal is to take total control of the Persian Gulf, starting with taking ground on both shores of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Arab League represented in this war consists of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the UAE. Saudi Arabia and the other members of the AL were left out due to internal interests and politics. NATO has a few air squadrons scattered but no ground troops at this time. I also didn't place army units on the board for the AL except for a national guard level company at the Musandam. No civilians of any kind. The time limit was set for SIX MONTHS.

Would anyone have a use for this? I can post the scenario if there's a need.

I will work on it some more, things like side briefings and some quality control touchups before I post.

I placed the zip file in Mods and Scenarios > DB threads.

Hope this works well for the CMO community.
