This scenario is almost ready to be posted. screen shots to follow soon. the scenario will start in October 1956 with the beginning of the Suez war, but France and Britain are neutral in this and will only activate if an ally is invaded.

There are 103 victory points in order to win. Israel must take the entire Sinai, Trans-Jordan and either Damascus or Beirut to win. The only active nations at the beginning of the game are " The Arab Republic of Egypt" and the State of Israel, the rest of the Arab nations will only activate other than Iraq if Israel or any other regime declare war on them.

Once Israel declares war on Trans-Jordan, then Iraq will activate as will Britain as they are allied with the Jordanians. France will only activate if Lebanon or Israel is invaded, otherwise they remain neutral.

Manpower resource is available, as are two cards, one resource card such as ore and one oil card. Both are very expensive in PP points so one will have to decide on PP points for resource cards and upgrades or equipment on hand for a time.

House rules: Arab nations may ally with each other, but they can only trade upto 3 research projects per game no more. Arab units cannot stack with other Arab nations, but may stack with non Arab nations. this signifies how the Arabs while allied were not united in their war effort against Israel. the only exception to this rule are the Iraqi's who may stack with Jordanian Arab forces only. Iraq may stack with British forces as well though. Israel is not obligated to these rules.

I have updated the scenario by removing all tank and aircraft factories. now only ports will be able to produce vehicles, aircraft and ships. this portrays military aid coming in from other sources, as each nation is not able to produce tanks and planes on their own. however, I have made the building of these factories very expensive PP wise. now instead of 80 PP points, it will cost 200 PP points to build, thinking of increasing this to 300-400 PP points. aircraft factories will be even higher in PP cost (3-400), that is if I keep the tank factories at 200.

I left the arty factories in place for each regime as they were able to produce their own arty, but if a regime wants another one it will be very expensive. the updated scenario has been sent to bombur

Still play testing but should be ready soon
