simulating Iraq invasion of Kuwait

[lucero1148]

With the possibility if fighting red on red forces with the units available in CMSF would it be possible to do Iraq'a invasion of Kuwait which brought on the 1st Gulf War? that being the case does anyone know what the Kuwaiti's had as a army back then? Did they even have one or just a border patroll? From what I remember it took Iraq only a few hours to capture the country.

Can't you just pull the wings off some flies or something? Sounds like it would be just as fun.

Three Iraqi divisions against the equivalent of one Western brigade. Sounds fun .

Red on red capabilities wouldn't help either. The Kuwaitis had Chieftain tanks. Most of their other equipment was from the UK too.

They only purchased the Yugoslav versions of the T-72 after the war.

Oh well scratch that idea. I'll look for some flies and pull wings off as I mutter Doroshes name. Hehehe!

Well the Kuwaitis did put up a bit of a fight at Mutla Ridge, but it was only a delaying action fought with a handful of tanks. There's a pdf file of the battle floating around the internet somewhere...
