After reading on cnn and other sites; This is my conclusion, Syria and Irak, will be fractured by that caliphate kingdom they (ISIS) want and a new nation will rise, if and only if no one stops them..

Then the Kurds will become independent, nation aswell.

Iraq will end up the size of kuwait (sarcasm).
:roll:

Its a conflict to follow and i would like to play with my ghq figures.

The partiton of Irak is not new. Thre was a plan oìf this ryoe in 2003, after Iraqi freedom, based on religion basis.

Today the partiton may be:
Sunnistan, ISIS territory in north west of the country
Kurdistan: in north east of the country.(smaler than Sunnistan)
Shiasta: south of the country and the majoority of it.

Note that Irak is about 25 times the Luwait, so Shiastan will probably have a surface 15 times Kuwait.

You can get a similar list by running a Google search for wars since 1945.

Now I know what to do with my spares: just assemble them in ANY configuration, and assign them to fictious rebel forces.

It strikes me that an airstrike on the Toyota plant would solve world terrorism.

I just kit bashed a bunch of Toyota's based on Afghan photos. It appears that you can mount just about anything in the back of a Pick Up Truck with enough imagination! Great photo!

I would love to see a video of one of these monstrosities fired. Preferably while driving at high speed on a narrow road with abrupt dropoff on either side.

Waddell: I'd like to see pictures of your work.

Here's a link that I found interesting. It has a few pictures of where one of the BMP turrets might have come from.

An interesting odd force could be Today's Irish Army:

with some $200 of GHQ's miniatures, one could field almost its entire land forces.

Some other interesting oddball conflicts might be:

A) The Dominican War, Swedish designed tanks vs USMC M60's...

B) Any ex-colonial wars, they always seem to have a gamut of strange forces.

C) The Sri Lankan civil war.

D) Falklands Islands, maybe a bit of a 'what-if' if the Argies had put up more fight

E) 1941 invasion of Iraq and Iran by Britain and Russia
