Divided Ground Scenario for CS Middle East

[DM729]

Hi All,
Here is Ashqelon Research Center. This scenario depicts a hypothetical Arab assault on a suspected Israeli nuclear weapons facility a few years after the end of the Yom Kippur War. Originally created by Will Leister, it was heavily revised by Alan R. Arvold. I've enjoyed playing it in Divided Ground and figured I'd convert it for CSME. Mr. Arvold's work speaks for itself and his work on Divided Ground is truly excellent. Since the OOBs in Divided Ground differ from Middle East, some adjustments were necessary. In Divided Ground helicopter gunships can carry more troops than in CSME so I used them as escorts instead. Otherwise, I have tried to keep the scenario as close to Alan's version as possible. His notes are also included. Thanks to Will Leister and Alan R. Arvold for their work. I hope you enjoy this scenario.

Hey Don,

Thanks for posting this scenario. I to, as you, like the old version under DG so it will be interesting to

compare the old and new.

Thanks again!

Hi John,
You're very welcome. I've always enjoyed scenarios about special missions, commando raids etc. I'm wondering what tweaks or adjustments might be needed with this one because of the different OOBs in the two games. I kept the original victory conditions but they may need to change. Also, the various AI settings will make for differnt Israeli reactions to the Arab invasion. I'm open to any critiques and suggestions!

Thanks!
Don

I've always liked "what if" scenarios. This one is pretty fun. I hope you get a chance to try it!
