I'll have to read that when I get the chance, Redleg what is the sit rep with the Eurasian empire in Libya? As it being that they are conventional army, I could possibly join in on the campaign if Karmanaskis does not pose a problem, and it could potentially redeem by Military and the country if I could manage to pull a win aginest the imperials, as Im done fighting aginest AL-Kabab.

The Eurasian Empire has deployed ground, air, and naval units to Libya in great strength. Over the past few months they have built a combined arms army in Libya with 3 divisions, plus a carrier battle group and several fighter wings. They have also deployed light infantry (possibly airborne or marine units) to Djibouti and Socotra and there is another naval task force approaching from the Indian Ocean.
[GM’s Note: there will definitely be a large-scale war in that area, but the shooting won’t start until February or March because I am still working on the rules. This is going to be as close to a legitimate war game as possible, which is why I am working on the rules first. I will be controlling the Eurasian Empire and refereeing. Combat will be resolved using rules, not creative writing. If you participate you can certainly embellish your battle reports, but the actual combat will be resolved by dice rolls and card draws. Logistics and troop movements will also be tracked in this war.]

LOL Mick!
I'm still working on the rules because I can't find a set that is exactly what I want. originally I was going to do it as a solo wargame, so including other players will require a mechanism for playing by e-mail. There are several games that I intend to steal bits and pieces from like NATO Division Commander, FFT, OPCOM, even Battletech Battleforce 2.
My goal is to have a game at the operational level with multiple divisions on each side. The units to move on the board will be mostly battalions, but I also want to incorporate air and naval and logistics. but I don't want it to be overwhelmingly tedious. Not sure it's possible, but I'm trying.
Oh, and I also want it to play in 24 hour cycles - issue orders each day and have the game turn represent 24 hours of game time. That part might be a stretch, but this might go on for some time and I still have a job and family so it can't take up too much time.

Anagoladom, Mauritaniadom, Malidom, are transferring by rail 40,000 soldiers and supplies to Moroccodom. Asked for access from Algeria, they declined despite helping them with their natural resources in the south. Transports have been moving the early arrivals and Commonwealth soldiers to Tunisadom for defense from the Evil Empire in Libya.

Not sure how many people, if any, will want to participate in the upcoming war, but just in case, here is my idea so far for the game. Tell me what you think:
Overview
The war will be fought in 24-hour turns, each turn representing 12 hours of game time. That way players can tend to real life stuff like jobs and family and just submit orders once per day. Those orders will cover 12 hours of game time (either midnight to noon or noon to midnight). 12 hours is still a long time and in real life commanders would be issuing orders more often than that, but it seems like a good compromise.
Players will need to issue orders and each unit’s combat card draw (I’ll explain that later) for all of their units. That can be naval, air, and ground. They will also need to submit orders for strategic and operational logistics.
As referee, I will take the player orders and update the Master Sit Map which has every unit on it. When units come into contact or orders call for an attack, I will draw a combat control card and play it against the players combat card to resolve. All player units need to be known to the referee so that I can adjudicate things like surprise submarine attacks or airborne drops.
After all moves and combats for the turn are complete, the referee will send a SITREP to each player with combat results and new intel.
Here is the order that I will resolve movement and combat:
A. Strategic Logistics
B. Naval
C. Air
D. Ground
E. Operational Logistics
More to follow…

A powerful ROD amphibious force is entering the Red Sea, steaming north toward the Suez. It consists of four Wasp class LHDs (Ares, Perseus, Theseus, and Diomedes), three Whidbey Island class LSDs (Agamemnon, Menelaus, and Aeneas), an Anchorage class LSD (Ajax), an Austin class LPD (Protesilaus), and a Newport class LST (Patroclus).
The ships are escorted by three battleships, two destroyers, and two frigates. They are carrying 2nd and 3rd Regimental Combat Teams of the ROD Marine Corps and the Marine Air Wing. As always, this task force may or may not include submarines.

This morning, shortly before sunrise, the Eurasian Empire launched a massive attack on the Egyptian armed forces, the Suez ** CENSORED **, and the Sinai Peninsula. The Imperial 1st Combined Arms Army, consisting of two motor rifle divisions and two tank divisions, roared across the border from Libya, smashing into Egyptian Army units that were defending the border. Imperial air power also hit the Egyptian military, attacking airfields to cripple the Egyptian Air Force while it was still on the ground and then turning their attention to Egyptian Army units.
To the east, Imperial Marines conducted amphibious landings and heliborne insertions in and around the Suez ** CENSORED **, seizing the three major bridges across the waterway and sealing the ** CENSORED ** off at both ends. Civilian shipping inside the ** CENSORED ** was brought to a standstill as the attack developed. Many ships have been avoiding the ** CENSORED ** due to the recent tension, but some are inside the ** CENSORED ** at anchor, waiting for a way to exit.
Even further to the east, Imperial paratroopers dropped into the Sinai, with unknown objectives. The attack included a robust cyber and electronic operation which has crippled social media, television, and radio in the region. Reports are sketchy, but the Egyptian government has released a statement, passed through the US Embassy in Cairo to news outlets in Turkey, that Egyptian military forces are battling the invader and that they are assured of victory. Egypt has not requested military assistance.
At the same time that this invasion was unfolding, the Imperial 69th Motor Rifle Division launched an invasion of Mahishmati. The attack is slow and deliberate, and the Mahishmati military, along with the ROD 2nd Armored Brigade and 5th Fighter Wing, are battling the invaders.
Rockets also rained down on Jerusalem this morning, with greater accuracy and concentration than is usually seen coming from the occupied territories. Israeli officials blame the attack on PAC units that were known to have infiltrated the West Bank and Gaza strip in recent months.
This conflict has already been dubbed The Suez War.

Jordan
Jordan army mobilizes against the NC invasion, Brigade of M1-S deploy to meet the threat. Challenger 1s support the left flank
Jordan SFs deploy all around the invaders. 21 fuel trucks blow up, only 8 survivors are able to walk home. 12 miles to the east on a smaller highway, Cobra attack helicopters attack a convoy of 33 trucks and 8 armored cars on escort. 16 are smoking, while the others returned to the south.
