I just want to say that, Terranova, you know what you are talking about.
Terranova wrote:Sides worth noting are Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, North Korea and Israel. Those are the main forces that are a must involved in the war. Taiwan, Japan and South Korea all feature U.S presence and support. Obviously China isn't just going to ignore the 3rd USMC Division stationed in Okinawa Japan and head straight for Wake Island.
An okinawa map would be awesome, i always wanted one for FH. Maybe a preemptive US strike into china?
Terranova wrote: The korean war is technially still not over, so why wouldn't North Korea team up with China in taking down South Korea?
I think that is very likely, though some will say they have too much tension themselves (china nk) I think China would have to be a little crazy to ally with NK... but they might end up fighting together. i dunno, ask tom clancy.
Terranova wrote: Israel is just a middle-east target. Middle-East peoples would go on a crusade to retake the holy city of Jerusalem (Map idea anyone?).
very very sweet idea. I tottaly want a map in megiddo valley! holy shit would that be sweet. That would litteraly be the battle of armageddon, you could have a red tinted sky and everything, man that would be awesome. Also, a battle in the streets of jerulsalem would be awesome too, the wailing wall and the dome of the rock.
Terranova wrote: The Philipines could get involved too. I've been readin up on some communist problems they have been having in the south. Perhaps China comes down to take over the seris of islands and restructure the government with communism. Makes for some nice pacific theatre maps too.
in addition to that, the philipense are also very muslim and currently have active al qaeda and other islamic terrorist cells. could be mec or china here.
Terranova wrote: I don't know about Russia though. They just seem too poor to get involved on a large scale. Perhaps they use their special operations and intelligence to protect their own interests or something. Yet they may deny any military intervention with the conflict.
i say maybe just one map or something, where some allied nation is trying to destroy a convoy of russian supllies going to MEC/China. Sort of like cambodia in the vietnam war, and sort of like VIP mode, except the russians have a huge sereis of trucks and the US is trying to stop them.
Terranova wrote: Another thing we might want to consider. There could be some western alliance or something. If the U.K and U.S are involved, why wouldn't the French, Polish and other European nations not. I'm pretty sure European countries do have some oil interests in the middle-east.
France, military? har har har. ok, seriously, germany and poland maybe, they actually have... you know... legitimate standing armies, specifically germany. but for the love of god don't do a euro force thing. and actually, germany probly wont work too well cuz POE is doing germany and us vs ... chechnya or uzbekiztan or somethign.
