I am looking at what is going in the mideast and North Africa and seeing a lot of very plausible scenarios:
Libya intervention by Egypt is as plausible, or maybe more so, as US invading Syria. We have most of the parts, if you use older M1A1s for frontline Egyptian tanks and move the timeline forward even just a few months for Libya to intergrate its new T72s and T90s into its frontline. Even without that, older T72s, T62s, and T55s could still be used. The NATO module gives you all kinds of oddball stuff that are used by both sides, like AIFVs and M113s. Both still use BMP1s and some BTR60 knockoffs. It would require quite a bit of fiddling with experience and motivation to make it work.
The other neat scenario might be a NATO intervention in Libya to seperate the two sides or push Egypt out. You could end up with M1 against M1 or Leopards in a plausible scenario. I think you could sub in the Leopard C2 as a plausible substitute for some Italian armor.
This is one of those things where I wished BFC had finished CMSF to make it easier to do stuff like this. Other than that, SPMBT is the only way to do it.
I am hoping the droves of CMSF scenario builders out there jump on this idea.
All countries involved have decent air forces and defense systems to make air superiority at least not a given for the US. And with the US still keeping an eye on Iraq, Astan, and Korea, it might even be plausible that NATO goes in with only logisitcal support from the US.
