Just a little tease of the scenario that I am working on at the moment:

More to come.

Best regards,

MIDDLE EAST "PROKHOROVKA": IRANIAN "CHIEFS" AGAINST IRAQI T-62
Hundreds of tanks met in a deadly battle, no one was going to give up… July 1943, Prokhorovka? No, January 1981, Khuzestan. It was there that the major tank battle of the Iran-Iraq war unfolded. About the Iranian operation "Victory", the confrontation between Western and Soviet armored vehicles and the conflicting results of the battle - in the material WARHEAD.SU.

Little question here, if it is really a Desert Storm scenario : The coalition was superior in every way (air, intel, tank, equipment,...), how will you balance it ? Will you make a 'fight against the clock' scenario (like the early PC vanilla scenarios) or adding more troops to the iraqi player ?

If it is the 1991 war, you already have units for French and British expeditionary force, but did you plan to add other major member of the coalition like Saudi Arabia ?

I see Iraqi tanks. It seems to me that it is ... ... the Gulf War (Desert Storm). There are no oil fields, too bad! I could have filled the tank of my Hummer *laughs* ! Great, more playing time. Thanks for your work and your mod.

Air force

From the very beginning of the Gulf war, achieving air supremacy was the most important task of the allies. For this purpose, a powerful aviation group with a total number of about 2 thousand aircraft was deployed. It is based on modern tactical strike aircraft of the US air force, including:

249 f-16 air superiority fighters;
120 f-15C fighters;
90 attack aircraft "Harrier»;
118 F-111F bombers;
72 a-10 short-range fire support aircraft.
In addition, the American air force group included 26 b-52 strategic bombers, 44 f-117A strike aircraft made using Stealth technology, a large number of electronic warfare, AWACS and control aircraft, scouts, air command posts, tanker aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. Force United States air force based at air bases in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Marine aviation included 690 aircraft, the main strike force of which was 146 f/A-18 fighter-bombers of the carrier-based aviation and 72-marine corps, as well as 68 f-14 "Tomcat" fighters. The naval aviation forces carried out combat missions in close cooperation and according to common plans with the air force.

83 aircraft were allocated to the British air force, 37 to the French air force. Germany, Italy, Belgium, Qatar also gave a small number of cars.

The Saudi air force included:

89 f-5E fighters;
71 f-15 fighters;
36 Tornado fighters of various modifications.
Regardless of ethnicity all the aircraft of the multinational forces was under the command of the commander of the 9th air force Tactical air command United States air force, and was used on a single plan, the American command.

A distinctive feature of the use of the US air force in this war was their very good intelligence and logistics support. In the interests of the air force operated a powerful satellite grouping. The number of EW aircraft made it possible to reliably blind the Iraqi air defense, while the US air force could fully control the situation in the sky and coordinate its actions with the help of AWACS, reconnaissance and control aircraft. Flying tankers significantly increased the duration and range of combat sorties of attack aircraft, making them refueling in the air. With this provision, tactical fighters and strike aircraft of the United States and its allies could make many hundreds of sorties a day with very high efficiency.
