Enjoy with my last multiplayer scenario, about a fictional war between Morocco and Spain in the year 2005 
SCENARIO FILES
SOUND FILES 1
SOUND FILES 2
quote:
Today, in an unpredicatble movement, Morocco has launched an attack against Spain in order to conquer the twin cities of Ceuta and Melilla and the Canary Islands.
Spain has received public support from some NATO and EU countries, but both France and USA, who have strong interests in Morroco, have stopped any help from the International Organizations.
In this war, Spain fights again on her own.
The Spanish army, however far superior than the Morocco's, has been caught asleep, and Morocco can count the surprise factor on her side.
Will be that enough to defeat Spain?
This is the fictional story of a war between Morroco and Spain. Let's the dogs of war decide the future of the last's Spanish land in Africa's soil! |
And enjoy with this set of extra files!

Two things that could be corrected in the scenario...
1) The AV-8B Harrier should be the EAV-8B Matador....it is the spanish version of the harrier.
2) Wouldn't the US be forced to help...especially with Spain's support in Gulf War 2 of 2003?

How could I possibly not have a Mozambican flag, I mean, what other country has an AK-47 on their flag?

Well, as far as I know, the war is very unpopular in Spain, and according to the New York Times, a very leftist party (can't remember the name) will almost certainly win the next election. So, say that they took Spain out of Iraq, and in revenge, Gephardt is using this as an opportunity to get revenge on Spain, and get some new contracts for the US.

Pablostuka, here are a couple of sugestions:
1) limit the amount of stuff helicopters and transport aircraft can carry to one unit or reduce the numbers present in the scenario. At the moment it's way too easy to move the entire Spanish Army across the strait of Gibraltar. For reference, a C-130 can carry a single AFV or a company of infantry and a Puma chopper can carry either a squad of infantry or a single artillery gun and it's crew. Airlifting two or three battalions per tern should be the limit of Spain's air transport capacity. BTW, AFAIK, nothing in Spain's air inventory can carry tanks - there should be a house rule requireing that these be moved by sea.
2) On the topic of the entire Spanish Army, are you sure that it all needs to be included in the scenario? The scenario would be more balanced if the only units opposing the Morrocans were the rapid deployment forces (the Paras, Marines and the Spanish Rapid Deployment Division). In the real world, it takes anywhere from a week to a month for 'heavy' units to be ready to move out from their barracks, and the scenario would be better if this was included - especially as you're assuming that the Morrocans achieve near total suprise.
On the topic of US involvement, any Morocan attack on Spanish territory would satisfy the terms of the NATO treaty ('an attack on one is an attack on all'). Of course, the other countries may be embarresed at helping Spain protect the last vestiges of it's empire. Given the situation between Britain and Spain over Gibraltar, Britain may also get involved on Spain's side, just to make a point about the legitimacy of having small enclaves in other countries territory [though Blair does seem to be strangely keen to surrender Gibralter to Spain]
There's a British light infantry battalion based at Gibraltar (the Royal Gibraltar Regiment) and there are usually some RN ships nearby. The 16th Air Assault Brigade could rapidly be flown in, and a battalion of Royal Marines could quickly be brought in by sea within a couple of weeks.

I know. But I had to risk realism for playability. I had strong headaches due to this topic, but my playtesters and I decided to let the airplanes to carry any kind of unit.
Initially, the helicopters only carried infantry (same as now), and the airplanes only infantry or light vehicles. But the playability was reduced a lot, ad the game became very boring...
Our air inventory of CASA C.212, CASA CN-235, CASA C-295 and Lockheed C-130 Hercules doesn't let us to carry our tanks, but let's see when the Airbus A-400M arrives...

Well...I included the entire 2 armies (Spanish and Moroccan). What's the advantage to fight the entire Moroccan army with only the fast deployment units? Of course we'd win, but the I can't show you guys how looks our Armed Forces . More or less these are the numbers, and the Spanish units are in their actual bases.
It takes a few turns to mobilise them. The turns that the Moroccans need to secure the captured areas to prevent any Spanish counterattack.

That only would apply to the Canary Islands. For some weird reason Ceuta and Melilla are not under NATO protection 
And the same fact: Playability. If I include NATO forces in the scen, the Moroccans won't have a chance for surviving.
I am a 100% realism guy, but I had to 'behave' in this one to satisfy the players

Yeah, I know. I have been in Gibraltar. I took some photos of these Tornado fighters
Aniway, I hope you enjoy the scen
And remember...it's not realism, it's playability
