A Singapore Malaysian conflict.... now there's a new idea!! It would be great to see a scenario based smaller what if conflicts that you don't too often think about. Like Pablostuka's Spanish-Morrocan war scenario.

Seeing as the Merkava is optimised for operations in urban terrain and keeping casualties low, I'm more then prepared to believe such rumours. Singapore's AMX-13s and Centurians are very long in the tooth, and they've yet to make any responce to Malaysia's purchase of T-80 equivalents from Poland (unless you count the Apache Longbows which were bought a few years ago  ).

Well, you do have a little bit of insider information there
Re a Malaysia vs Singapore war: Singapore would win the war, and easily. Upon full mobalisation (which aparently takes only a few hours(!)), the Singaporean Army is actually larger then anything Malaysia could realistically field. Singapore's Army is much better equipped then Malaysia's (especially in artillery) and training is ment to be fairly good, with annual Brigade sized exercises being held at the Australian Army's fantastic facilities at the Sholewater Bay Training Area in Queensland. Morale seems to be a problem though in peacetime - however, if the Malaysians turned off the water, then I imagine that morale would improve dramatically.
Furthermore, the Sinapore Air Force is unquestionably the best air force anywhere south of China, and would totally slaughter the RMAF. The Singapore Navy also outclasses the Royal Malaysian Navy.
In short, the 'hot' part of any Malayisa-Singapore war would be over by the time Australian or American forces arrived. Singapore would struggle to win the peace though - the country is too small to keep a large part of it's army mobalised for more then a few days, and any cut-off in shipping and air movements would cripple the national economy.
Incidently, I can't recomend Tim Huxley's book 'Defending the Lion City' highly enough.

I have actually entertained this idea for a while but unfortuantely I lack the neccessary know how to make a complete scenario...

You are too kind, but like I said before most of them aren't by me. They are the collected recoloured works of various great authors including yourself
And anyway none of the recolours done by me are any good. No matter how much I try none of them are in the standard Civ2 palette

Nope... but I certainly have an idea for someone who may want to!  What if the TNI led by General Wiranto staged a coup after the fall of Suharto in 1997 and launched an invasion of Indonesia's neighbours?

I wouldn't know much about this...

Well, you're the expert. 
Does anyone have an AMX-13, Scorpion light tank, or PT-76 so that I can finish my collection?

Okay, so the consencus seems to be any Singapore-Malaysian war would be a dreadfully short and one sided conflict. Fair enough. I still like the idea of a south-east Asian conflict though. What about Singapore versus Indonesia? Indonesia versus the Philipines? Or even better, Indonesia versus Austrailia?
This policically unstable world's just filled with potential conflicts, unfortunatly.

Well, until an Il-38 comes around, or I copy something else, I may have to think about my next project - for which a PT-76 or Mi-8 would certainly be useful. Also, anyone seen a Gaz-69 with DSHK? Or a V-100?

Yikes!! If there's ever to be a one sided war then surely that would be it. Our only hope would be Great Britain sending reinforcements but I doubt they could come in time. Would make an interesting scenario though...

As much fun as that sounds, the Canadian Armed Forces simply aren't strong enough to mount any serious unilateral offensive, especially against the worlds greatest military power.
Your idea does sound pretty interesting though. Paul, was Great Britain involved? To what extent did the French help the Canadians? If we didn't have the help of either the French or Royal Air Force we'd have no hope in a major conflict. If you'd like to start the idea up again I'm sure we could put a pretty awsome game together. Let me know if your interested.

I am thinking South Park on this - US has 2 units - black US Inf and White US Inf (not being racist, quoting racism. )
Also Curt, USA v the world is almost accurate atm.
