So America is about to fight Iran in perhaps the biggest fight to date, World War III, and many people think it's going to be the biggest and frankly most important war we've ever seen in the history of this country since perhaps the time of Abraham Lincoln. I figured we should get this thread started now, so that in 20 years or so when a bunch of allegedly Iraq-aligned agitators shatter the uneasy peace we've built in Iran with trllions of dollars and countless lives and force an invasion of SuperIraq, we can all look back and laugh. Anyway, to begin. A primer: Iran Iran is a country in the Middle East. Its capital is Tehran, located in the north and middle part, and it is surrounded by many Middle Eastern and other kinds of countries. As old as time itself, Iran has seen many wars over its time. Jesus was around the area back in his day, as well as were others. I'm not very good at Crusader Kings 2 but I will try to start a game in it and pick Iran to learn more. IN MEMORY OF THE LOST: A MEMORIAL TO DEAD SOLDIERS this will be updated with anyone who dies during the war(the real war, not CK2, many will die if not all) Questions? I thought not.

Capturing rebel leaders is kind of a waste unless you get some good missions, use your generals to hunt down the hidden base instead

Is this one of those where you have a set number of units you have to work with or can you make as many of anything as long as you're collecting resources?

How long will it take to capture Baghdad? 2 days Will Saddam be killed? Yes Total Iraqi civillian casualties: 500 dead Total military casualties Iraq: 3000 dead Total military casualties U.S.: 15 dead Will the Iraqi army regulars hold the lines? No Will the Republican Guard fight to the end? No Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?: Yes Will Saddam launch attacks on the Kurds? Yes Will Saddam launch attacks on Israel? No -If yes; will Isreal retaliate harshly? Yes Will Saddam sacrifice Baghdad (gas/nuke it)? No Will the Kurds make a grab for independence? Yes Will Iran do anything silly like try for land? Yes Will Saddam burn the oil fields? Yes How long will the US be occupying Iraq? ~15 years Will the Iraq war catalyze increased terrorism in America?No In the long run, will this war be good or bad for the world? Good We have to look at what those civilian casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities: 1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a cruise missile fired at the market. 2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house is targetting by a smart bomb and blown up. OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since the US doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number! 3) A civilian working at a chemical weapon factory gets killed when the chemical weapon plant is bombed. 4) A civilian security guard at a weapons depot is killed when the weapons explode. 5) A civilian contractor repairing a tank is killed by a MOAB dropped on the unit. 6) A civilian engineer is killed when the military command center he works at is destroyed. 7) A civilian delivering snackiecakes to the baghdad bunker vending machines eats a 5,000lb bunker buster. etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent.

historically, you beat Iran by baiting them into a few opening rounds in Syria and Iraq first so technically, the trump boys are off to the best possible start
