dan/california Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Israeli mission planning software system. Looks like it would merge wonderfully with CMX2. And they might have the connections to get over the military sales hump. Besides, I want an Israeli module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AslakH Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Why do you want that? I want a WW2 game + all modules before December 22nd. But agreed, an IDF module would be cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 The reason BFC will never do an Arab-Israeli CM is because they'd have to shut down the forums, or spend 24-7 moderating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah, that's about right. Anything even distantly touching on the Arab-Israeli conflict is a hot potato and then some. BFC would have to install special fire fighting equipment just to keep the flames down to a level tolerable to fire retardant suiting.

tyrspawn Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Although a Valley of Tears mission would be epic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I know b**ger-all about the IDF, but I'd think there has got to be enough Allied equipment lying around at this point to do a reasonable approximation of an IDF force reoccupying its previous buffer zone in South Lebanon and maybe even punching a klick or two across the Golan to put a stop to intense Syrian/Hezbullah rocket attacks. Sure, no Merkavas, but if you swap in another MBT what else is fundamentally missing that you can't find a reasonable surrogate for? There's all shapes and sizes of infantry squads available now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warrior Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Yea it's too bad that some would get b--t hurt by it but it would be cool just to do 1956 to 1982. Oh well. There's winspmbt for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've been advocating '56-'73 for nearly a decade now to no avail. I understand their reasons for passing on this hot potato and don't blame them, but it sure would be nice if it could happen without starting an online Armageddon.

Michael That would be pretty awesome, though I can understand it's not an easy issue. It's probably the thing I'd like to see most actually, although the pacific theatre would also be nice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake_eye Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 BFC is already providing battles between US, UK (NATO) against Syria. If it was Israeli's against them and Lebanon would that make a huge difference ? You can always title your troops israeli's and attack Syria. Ok, you won't have the Israeli's tanks, IFV and others and troopers armaments, but would that again make a huge difference ? For the rest I agree, it is a very sensitive proposal for BFC. Is it worth the problems it might raise ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawomi Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 The background story of CMSF gives enough room to imagine an actual Israeli attack on Syria in 2008. Just decide for you that the detonation of waste uranium in major cities of the west the manual talks about, was orchestrated from behind the curtain by Mossad as a false-flag operation... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLeftFlank Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 That's what I think (not the Mossad part -- that's just too tinfoil hat kooky). Israel could hardly expect to be exempted from the dirty bomb attacks that provide the pretext for NATO invasion of Syria, its tight border security notwithstanding. And once the NATO invasion began, Syria and Hezbollah could be expected to repeat Saddam's gambit of trying to provoke Israel into joining so the rest of the Islamic world would side with them and they could paint it as Zionist aggression. With their common border, they would have a lot more than Scuds to throw at Israel even if the USAF tried very hard to suppress the Golan. One can readily imagine a few "lucky" hits on Israeli settlements or use of NBC or other contaminants to trigger a "limited incursion" across the Golan by heavy IDF forces a la Parrots Beak or Lam Son 719 to remove the Syrian artillery, and to hell with what the Arabs or Allies think about it. By the same token, they can be expected to go after Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon for the umpteenth time. In for a shekel in for a pound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project Reality, an extremely popular mod for Battlefield 2 pulls it off . They even have maps pitting IDF against Hamas and you can play as either (one of them is a recreation of part of the Gaza strip). One of my most frustrating moments was being *this* close to planting two IEDs directly underneath a merkava that didn't have infantry support covering it (or so I thought) and then getting killed before I could detonate. No flame wars as of yet on their gigantic forums: http://www.realitymod.com/ It has absolutely nothing in common with the original game btw, I highly recommend it if you're interested in shooters at all... 90% of the players have microphones and use them and it's all very coordinated most of the time... despite 64 players on one server. EDIT: I know commercial links aren't allowed but this is a free mod so I'm good right? If not just remove the link and people can google it lol . thanks mods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 You sure about that? All I know is that most of the time when a discussion of Arab-Israeli conflicts (of any sort) has come up, it has almost immediately degenerated into a flame war that required the moderators to step in, shut down the thread, and usually ban a person or two. It's a subject that many people are passionate about and simply can't control themselves when it comes up. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincere Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 An Israeli module would be very welcome. The back storry could be that Syria launches a strike into Isreal in an attempt to get wider support. Maybe less flaming than Israel going the other way. + We get to try Syria on the offensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do that and then have a module where Isreal pushes Syria back and does an invasion of it's own. That way you could fight both sides of the conflict. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I can just imagine an Israeli mod that enable the Syrians to crush the Israelis, and then have the Syrians buy hundreds of copies. What wonderful PR (not). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but that's just a dumb argument. Believe it or not, everyone who plays non-wargame games are not completely uninformed ADD addled children. Why do you think the PR dev team added IDF and Hamas forces to the latest update? Because the entire forum was CLAMORING for it. Kinda hard to want them to be included and be completely unaware of what's happening over there :confused: Anyways, props to them for not giving two ****s about what's politically correct. One of the few dev teams brave enough to do that. Certainly unlike the cowards who pumped out the latest Medal of Honor piece of junk... they renamed the "Taliban" forces to "Opposing Force" in multiplayer after a lot of "pressure" was put on them to change it. LOL. They should learn from Rockstar Games (makers of GTA series) that controversy = free advertising on CNN, Fox and MSNBC = more $$$ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scipio Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 With IDF forces and the NATO module we could create battles with Third Reich German forces invading Israel and other great stuff *SLAP* Shut up Scipio, SHUT UP!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
