Saddam Hussein Scenario

[Lynx]

the gulf war of 1991, the iraqi troops invaded Kuwait. They refused to pull out, we launched Operation Desert Storm and defeated Iraq in 100 Hours. thats when we beat them.

And BTW, the T-56 are not modern tanks. Ive played as the USA in this and i got my arse kicked because i was up against MA which really should have been normal tanks. Saddam underestimated the american army in 1991 and the M1 can go 60 MPH across the trackless desert. He didnt think they could do that, which implies that he coulnt either. and they are using the same civ unit as their tanks??? Not to mention the US was not alone and their forces should be considerably larger.

 

[Syrus_Knife]

Yeah, but the Iraqis never hurt the Americans, only the Kuwaitis

 

[sgrig]

Possibly Iraq could be given a few MA's to represent their more modern tanks (T-72s for example), but the rest should really standard tanks, many should possibly be "conscript" or "regular" while US units should all be "veteran" or "elite"

 

[Yoda Power]

Many of you have good idea´s, i will try make new versions with your help. Note, that they will be for ptw.

 

[Lynx]

That sounds better, but only 4 or 5 MA's for them while the US shopuld have all MA along with mechs. cuz i wanna kill saddam in this! and an Israel scenario would be cool. the war of 67 hehe.

 

[Yoda Power]

I have ptw now but dont expect the new version to come out before sometime in the new year, im very busy.

 

[Lynx]

Im very busy too, but i could do it myself, just get me a blank map and you will have it sooner than later.

Why a blanck map? Surly it would be easier to make using the existing scenario, but if you want the map it is in the map section here on cfc.

 

[Lynx]

I would rather it be my own work and I would make the map a bit different, you will konw what i mean hen you see it. hehe thanks

Great fun!

Destroyed Israel with the aid of Egypt and Syria and razed every city of theirs to the ground and then pillaged EVERY improvement they created!


Iraq seem to be a bit powerful what with the amazing cruise missiles and large navy! What won it for me was "right of passage" agreements and "radar artillery".


Saddam kicks ass

Enjoyable!

Glad you liked it and yes i know Iraq is a bit to powerfull but hey its just for fun.

 

[Lynx]

I played this and I beat the living hell out of Iran, hehe.

 

[Sarevok]

This scenario is a bit peculiar... I though Saddam was a bit too powerful... but no matter. its still a very good scenario, good job!

 

[Syrus_Knife]

The only problem is it takes way too long to load. But it's worth it

Made a few minor modifications (set date to Dec. 2002, monthly turns, made map flat, made tactical nuclear weapons availible) and played it. I'm at 2005, under a communist government, and I'm finishing my infastructure. I'm gearing up for an invasion of Syria.

So you made a ptw version. But you have the start date wrong, i think it should be set by the start of the gulf war.

btw i thought you only played civ2

 

[amadeus]

I had thought that this was intended to be a current scenario. If I'd known it was at the Gulf War, I would have set it to August 1990, at the time of invasion.

But Georgia, Armenia, etc. would be part of the Soviet Union at that time.

Khomeini was dead in 1989. Ali Khameini took over then, and has been absolute leader since.

And I do play PTW

 

[Yoda Power]

yeah you are right i know the accuracy of this scenario is not that big, but if you help me a little i can do a new version only for ptw with all the things right.

yeah and kuwaitis were slant drilling oil under the Iraqi border, AND Iraq was our buddy in the Iran-Iraq war....at that time we didnt care that they sent 12-14 yr old boys out to war, we didnt care they had chemical weapons, just so long as they were used on Iran. So apparently its OK for Saddam to drop chemical and biological weapons on people when it serves our own purpose here in America, but once he uses em on the Marsh people down south...then we dont like it. However the majority of people in Souther Iraq were sympathetic to Iran, so Saddam was merely defending his country.

90% of what the American government does is complete BS to me. and if it baffles me as to the reasons why? I'm sure the people they screw over as just as baffled. I mean look in the time span of 3 yrs. (88-91) Iraq went from our best buddies in the Middle East, to a country led by a "monster" yet he was in power when he was our buddy.....when it was OK to use chemical weapons....when it was OK to do alot of things...suddenly its NOT in the US' best interest for Iraq to take over kuwait and they're deemed "evil"

you could almost say the same thing about the Afghani's. They were cool with us in the 80's when they were fighting the Soviets, led by a decent fighter named Osama bin Laden.....then he comes back to stab us in the back......now I'm not claiming any sympathy to Osama. Cuz he was totally wrong, but the thing is we befriended that man during the 80's.

the guy got lots of oil, we want it.. so we go get it.
