Anyone interested in doing a scenario on this?

is it a joke? [:D]

I'll take a look.

No it's not meant to be a jab [:D]

Just a very interesting air operation in the midst of a certifiably brutal air war.

PdL Design Team was considering this for an scenario, but it seemed to us a bit one-sided...maybe we can reconsider, I'll discuss with them again...[:D]

It is very interesting to do, but as I searched for detail information I cant find any things more than this Wiki pages.

As the operation highly focused on air operation and blind radar corridor of Iraqi air-force we need to know about position and type of radar stations on that period of war.
As IRAF used cover of border mountains of Iraq-Turkey for preventing early detection by Iraqi any sketch about radar and air defense facility will be necessary, otherwise it will be go far away from actual operation.

What is the PdL Design Team? [:)]

The first rule of the CMANO PdL Design Team is... you do not t-

It might be one-sided in real life, but you should be able to manage that through victory settings and good briefings.

I would also think that it would only be playable from Iran's side. The fact that the Iraqi side already knows something is coming would be a big issue.

A group of 3 friends friends who write scenarios for CMANO, till now Green Tide, Hunting Day and about to release our last scenario Give Them Hell.

We have discovered that creating an scenario this way is more fun than alone, and allow us to test the scenario more deeply.

I've got a book that has some good info - its "Iran-Iraq War in the Air" by Tom Cooper and Farzad Bishop. It covers the Iran strike group and deception group compositions, as well as the refueling and command and control support. It also gives a good description of the aircraft at the H3 complex, which actually comprises three airfields. I was thinking about working on this at some point, but there are some naval battles (Shantou, 1965, Paracel Islands, 1974) I would like to do first. To be honest, I find understanding the air system the most difficult right now, I have not mastered it by any means.

Best,

Mark

Someday, when I am not working on other research projects (e.g., articles on pedagogy, ethical criticism, etc.) I really have to do something on the connections between collaborative writing and game design...someday...
