I've been toying with the idea of creating a scenario called "Operation Barack," dealing with the final destruction of OBL and his bodyguard unit by US forces. Basically a small feel-good scenario. Company-sized, because large scenarios are just too time-consuming [for me] to play.

A while back I was working on a scenario dealing with a battle between Syrian and Lebanese militia forces during the Syrian deployment to that country in the 1970s-80s. The Syrian recon unit was ambushed and badly handled, and Syrian President Asad was very unhappy. I forget the exact details but it is described in a book I have, "Conflict and Violence in Lebanon," by Walid Khalidi. A fascinating conflict.

There are several very good books by Arab scholars on Syria's Lebanese adventure.
