    Iran?

    The Center for Strategic and International Studies has a detailed assessment of the current state of the Iranian armed forces at: http://www.csis.org/component/option,com_csis_pubs/Itemid,49/type,1/ The Middle East Military Balance website at: http://www.tau.ac.il/jcss/balance/ is also well...

    How do you make maps?

    I strongly recomend the ODD utility. It sticks a hex overlay in the scale of your choice on any map in .bmp format. If you've got access to a scanner you can scan in a paper map and let ODD draw the hexes for you. While it can't cut out the tedious work of converting the resulting map into a...

    Interesting WW2 hypo, Australia invaded.

    I fiddled around with a 'Sydney 1942' scenario last year and came to the conclusion that it probably wouldn't work as an interesting TOAW scenario. The basic problem was that the Japanese units were too ill-equipped to operate on continental Australia and get clobbered by the less well trained...

    Communist Invasion of Rhodesia 1979

    I made the map for my scenario 'Zimbabwe 2003', which can be downloaded from: http://www.warfarehq.com/archives/forumdisplay.php?f=8 Please note that there have been a few changes to Zimbabwe's infrastructure between 1973 and 2003, so you may need to remove a few railroads and downgrade some...

    Africa?

    You don't need to. I had no trouble realistically modeling everything in the South African inventory using the default game units.

    Africa?

    Ditto. The Cuban drive on Johannesburg would make a fantastic TOAW scenario... By the way, http://web.archive.org/web/20030219015221/http://users.iafrica.com/b/ba/bal/ has heaps of excelent South African and Cuban TO&Es. I guess that that's my map you're talking about? I did it at 15...

    Korea 2005

    Piero, if you check out the files on the Yahoo Asian Defence Group, they've got excelent TOEs for the ROK Army, and these are what I used. Despite the common perception, the ROKs don't use ATGMs all that much. Aparently the TOW is ill-suited to the Korean terrain (as the hills mean that long...

    Korea 2005

    Basically because they sent forces to the Korean War, and are a signatory to the treaty which was signed at the end of the war in which the signatories promised to send forces to assist Korea in the event of any other NK invasion. ...but including the Columbians was probably a bit unrealistic...

    Korea 2005

    The Australian involvement is a little hard to predict. One or two of our modern and excelent Collins Class Subs would definetly be sent, as would a couple of frigates (for escort duties) and a tanker. However, these can't really be modeled in TOAW. The Air Force would probably deploy a F-111...

    Korea 2005

    I'd say none - at least initally. The NKs are, aparently, fully expecting the 'imperialists' to cross the border at any stage. I'd say that the US would definetly use limited numbers of tactical nukes on military targets if the NKs used chemical weapons as not doing so would greatly weaken...

    Korea 2005

    I'd disagree with that - while the units on the DMZ may be ready, it can be expected that in the event of a suprise attack, all the other units on the Peninsular would be at lower levels of readiness. Hence, the 'shock' effect mirrors the advantage suprise would give the NKs, at least in the...

    Korea 2005

    I think that they've pretty much gone out of business since the place changed from a military dictatorship to a highly sucessful democracy. You certainly don't hear much about them any more.

    Korea 2005

    I just posted the beta version of my scenario. It's available at: www.warfarehq.com/archives/showthread.php?p=1008#post1008 In his excelent book, Joseph Bermudez states that the NKPA's supply levels are fairly good and that the light infantry units are well trained. The armoured and...

    Korea 2005

    When making my scenario, I assumed that all the American-Allied countries in Asia would contribute troops, and each country sent about a brigade. It's hard to say what Australia and NZ would send. Both Australia and NZ's armies are small light-infantry forces unsuited to combat in North...

    Korea 2005

    I found that the scale of the scenario and the number of options that need to be covered in the events engine put my scenario on this topic beyond my capabilities. :( I think that I'll fiddle about with it for the next few days and release it as a 'beta' version scenario. Some ideas are: *...
