Iraq Theater
-
Hey guys,
While working on Peregrine, I’ve got a very basic Iraq theater setup. It’s not tiled but the airbases, objectives, are done. I’m reaching out to see if anyone would be interested in working on it with me. Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and some operation against ISIS (because screw them).
I’m using the Korea object database and using Polak’s Israel tiles as placeholders at the moment. But I have TDF’s of all the features and csv’s of all the objectives. I’m using this theater as the test bed for Peregrine so I’m looking for some tile masters who would want to help.
I realize with the tools we have, making a theater is super time consuming. I’m hoping to find those pain points (found a few already) and build solutions into Peregrine for the future. However, you don’t know what you don’t know, so any advice on tiling, customizing, would be appreciated.
Or I can just dump the full workspace in dropbox or something.
The area covered is at N33,E44 64 size theater. Covering Northern Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Eastern Jordan, Eastern Syria, Southern Turkey, and Western Iran. E00 files available as well as the HDR/BIN of GMTED the terrain was based on. High res VFR chart. I still have to do the stations+ils.dat file and customize the teams/flags and make sure the airbases are lined up right. Oh, and tile everything. Anyone up for the challenge?

could you post whole map screenshot please?

Now molni and others, hurry up and help this man out. My second favorite war area may see daylight
-
And for campaings , maybe first Persian gulf war (1991?) would be nice.
Iraq air forces just bit better than RL so red could fight back some.
Just like old Janes F-15 iraq campaing, balance was perfect.
Just my 0,002 cents (and yes, Janes F-15 has special place in my heart
) -
I see u want it 64 seg. But we need more north areas.
We would be able to simulate Iraq vs Turkey battles.
Iraqi F-16s and L-159s together with Russian SU-35s, 34s and 25s against Turkish F-16s… -

64 is good, for working campaing
Keep up good work , i really like to get back to bagdad and scud hunt

Campaign, mission tasking and flights won’t work properly on a 128 seg theater (if using the entire map). Maybe one day… but not yet.

Hey guys,
and some operation against ISIS (because screw them).The name is Operation Inherent Resolve for the US.
Other than that I cannot help you having no knowledge in theater making and less than basic knowledge in campaign making/editing…
I told myself I might try theater/campaign making when Peregrine is released though, if a manual comes with it. -

Best regards, and keep on with that interesting theather, reiser.

This theater is significantly overlapping with Malc’s Kuwait Theater.

Most of mine materials from Kuwait (when ready) can be used in your Iraqi theater. However, by the time all is done I hope we can also accomplished some more progress with implementation of new terrain features through Peregrine, or some other apps and tools. Also, all this really is calling maybe for making 128 seg theaters a reality in Falcon BMS. I would never expect to find myself saying this, but “Bigger is better!”. -

Yes, they overlap, probably 90% I’d say. But it’s also the test bed for Peregrine’s terrain tooling. I don’t care who makes it, I want the bomb the crap out of ISIS, lol. But yeah, I think we may need to pool resources.

Hello there Reiser,
instead of doing 2 almost similar theaters, you can do a new one focused more on Syria. That’s the heartland of isis, and with the recent involvement of the Russian forces there can be some really interesting scenarios recreated with multiple forces fighting each other.
Anyways this is just a suggestion, you should do what you really keeps you passioned. Great work on your terrain tool, keep it up!

Just make iraq, kuwait as you are planed. We would finally get good persian gulf map for desert storm campaing

Don’t forget you can bomb a good chunk of Syria from the Israel theater. Someone even made an ISIS campaign.

Yea but NATO countries’ squadrons aren’t stationed in Syria, some are on aircraft carriers, some are in Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait etc… so to make a realistic campaign we would need those countries+the sea.
And Operation Desert Storm is really a Classic. -
Is there any updates or release date of this theatre

Of course there is: 2-3 weeks.

On the 25th anniversary of Desert Storm I ask how is it coming Reiser?
