Wobble 1 Posted January 10, 2002 how about an rebel alliance of all things annoying.. A mixed force of teletubbies, power rangers, pokemon, people who talegate, people who wear their hats sideways, DPS workers, bob ross, al gore (he invented war) and all the people who start and contribute to the USvsUK threads..

Noone 4 Posted January 10, 2002 OK, now let me add my 5 cents I've been thinking about all this and have come to the following conclusions: Making a mod covering 1967 – 2000 100% realistic is very difficult if not impossible. Both equipment and uniforms have change over these years. So we have to compromise. Make something in-between. No too modern equipment and no too old. For example no TAVOR assault rifle and no FN-FAL. The uniform should be something like in 90. Zelda and Nagmash haven’t really changed so this is not an issue. Magah 6 suits this plot well. Merkava is impossible to make right now due to lack of modeling tools. (BTW it came in prod. around 1982, right ?) etc etc etc So about the enemies: I say we make Egyptian, Syrian and PA armies (PA and Hizbollah campaigns will be more of infantry vs infantry – don’t expect chasing men in tanks!) But anyway lets finish units first and then build missions and campaigns with what we have ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paratrooper 0 Posted January 11, 2002 This is what I think: It would be foolish to pretend that this region of the world does not carry a lot more sensitive issues than other places, it IS political wether you like it or not... To avoid any unfair demonisation of peoples in the region it would be best to root it fully in a historical conflict/skirmish. Any event in this could not offend as they are historical fact and can't be argued with. It will also make the mod more realistic and better to play. We all want that don't we? PS: Impressive work Noone and Co! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supah 0 Posted January 11, 2002 AFAIK lebanon doesnt really have a government which has anything to say about what goes on in the country. Its more run by the syrians (?) and some terrorist movements so it is very unstable (and poor). For those reasons I think it would make a good opposing force if a good scenario was made. I could be completly wrong about lebanon offcourse. My mom and dad went there once before it got fucked up and said it was once a really beautifull and prosperous country ..... before the civil war Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoCares 0 Posted January 11, 2002 How about a storyline like Leon Uris' book "Exodus". Back in in the late 40s, kicking the Brits out, founding Israel. wkr WhoCares Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noone 4 Posted January 11, 2002 Too complicated. We do not have modeling tools yet, so no 40's equipment can be made right now. Maybe later.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blink Dog 0 Posted January 12, 2002 Personally if you make an IDF Mod for the game set it during 82-84 in Lebanon. IDF is west Equiv, Syria is Soviet Equiv (very little modification need here), the PLO and Lebanese militas use Resistance. This time period allows you have many combinations for plots and such. In one mission you may be fighting resistance say the PLO and in the next you are assiting them say one of the christian militas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
