maybe that much to make it a more one sided and for that reason a poor choice of battle imo, as who would want to play as Iraq?
make it a what if type battle and more balanced then most would play either side, then again i'm often wrong, it's not the first and won't be the last time either tbh
Anything where western powers have used modern kit against middle east forces with much older soviet gear is going to be more like British colonial wars in the 1900's replacing the early gatling guns vs. spears with modern MBTs vs. 20+ year old tanks.
I agree. I don't see much of interest in these scenarios. I don't think a single M1 was lost to enemy tank fire.

Would be interesting to play single player, have fun beating up the Iraqis while trying not to loose any armor. Not a good head to head proposition, though!

an Iraq campaign where you have to survive might be fun

Maybe if you made the scenarios only playable from the Iraqi side. [8D] otherwise, not sure why you'd make this; the Iraqis were a pathetic adversary for the most part.
