But Saudis mobilized a big force and are trying to recapture King Khalid Airbase in the middle of the night.
This is multi-layered scenario, you should like it. Beware though, AI waypoints gave me a lot of trouble. These may still not work correctly. Feedback appreciated.

SANDY RIDGE is a new front, a Libyan one, that belongs to the Italians. Italian task force has just conducted good and easy landing and they now push on Tripoli in order to disable that OAPEC member. Libyans are trying to fortify the capital and for this reason a strong, heavily armoured Libyan group secures and digs in on Sandy Ridge, location on the only road along the coast that Italians need to capture.
This one is mostly tank-on-tank engagement, but one side has huge advantage of defences (no, this is not your side). This one is quite tough to beat but all who enjoyed Yom Kippur scenarios in this game should also like this one.


What will come next? If you win the Sandy Ridge, combined arms assault on Tripoli will be imminent. But in so called meantime, it will be a good moment to release USMC naval landing straight at Abu Dhabi. I will put a lot of heart into this one.
And do not forget one more front to open: back then, Iraq was also an important OPEC member. And Iran was supporting the west. Beyond that, there is also Bahrain and Kuwait that need some attention. I am waiting for your suggestions, but I was wondering of Canadians could not take Bahrain, mainly from the air.
Suggestions are always welcome of course, but unless somebody is also directly involved in those scenario designs, you will always have last call on scenario guidelines and direction.
