Background and overview

Historical background of Kashmir

India, which was under British rule since the 18th century, caused a great rebellion in 1857, the Sepoi Rebellion, which was subdued and later completely colonized.
However, on August 14, 1947 after World War II, the Bengal and Sindh regions, where there are many Muslims, were enclaveed as East and West Pakistan, and on August 15, India, where many Hindus were present, Independence from. However, two months later in October, the two countries developed into conflict and armed conflict over the attribution of the Kashmir region, which has many Islamic residents. This is the first Indian-Pakistan war.
Originally, the Kashmir region is overwhelmingly Muslim. However, Maharaja, the kingdom of the British era that governed this region, was a Hindu, and when the two countries became independent, the residents belonged to Pakistan, and the ruler, King, belonged to India. There was confusion asking for. As a result, it developed into a conflict between the two countries that supported each other.
In the first India-Pin War, a ceasefire line was established two years later with the intervention of the United Nations forces, and this is the actual border between India and India.
In August 1965, India broke out of the ceasefire line and entered Pakistan's Kashmir region, and further entered into the Punjab and Sindh provinces of Pakistan. This is the Second Indian-Pakistan War.
The factor at this time was the Chinese army trying to advance from Karakorum through Kashmir. India had to dominate the entire Kashmir region to prevent this advance. China, annexed Tibet, has always been a potential enemy for India, often invading the Indian territory and causing armed clashes.
After all, the Second India-Pac War ended in a ceasefire in the Soviet mediation one year later.
Then, in March 1971, dissatisfaction exploded in East Pakistan, an enclave that had been under the control of West Pakistan, and came to declare independence. However, West Pakistan did not accept this easily, and East and West Pakistan fell into a civil war. India, aiming to settle the situation, started to advance to East and West Pakistan in December of the same year after consultation with the Soviet Union. This is the Third Indian-Pakistan War.
After two weeks of battle, West Pakistan surrendered, and the Third Indo-Pac War was ceaselessly ceased. East Pakistan also became independent as the People's Republic of Bangladesh.
The Kashmir region was a ceasefire line established in 1949 after the first India-Pacific War. Yes. In these Kashmir regions, terrorism and turmoil are constantly occurring and are still a fire of conflict between the two countries.

The tension of India and India after 9/11

Pakistan has been isolated from various international sanctions due to the 1998 nuclear test.
However, after the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, the United States decided to take military action to defeat Afghanistan's Taliban regime in support of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, which is regarded as a “criminal”. In order to invade inland Afghanistan, an advance base was needed in neighboring countries. In particular, only Pakistan was able to meet the requirements of landing goods from the Indian Ocean and relaying MTF aircraft.
Pakistan, especially the military, has supported the Taliban-Al-Qaeda administration, but President Musharraf has decided to accept the US military, and as a result, Pakistan will be eliminated from isolation, and weapons imports from Western countries will be possible again It became.
Furthermore, a great deal of economic assistance was promised as a condition for US military support, or "return". As a result, the exhausted Pakistani economy was able to breathe back and use more military budget.
On the other hand, India, which was concerned that the diplomatic balance is biased toward Pakistan, has also been actively engaged in diplomatic negotiations, and has also drawn a large amount of assistance from the international community and purchased many new weapons.
Economic support for both India and Pakistan = increased military power, and some military and terrorist organizations accusing the pro-American attitude of the Pakistan administration have been active, resulting in frequent terrorism in the Kashmir region. Both countries are in a situation of mobilizing a large number of troops along the border.
At the end of 2001, Pakistan terrorists attacked the Indian Parliament, and in February 2002 there were incidents where many Muslims gathered in urban areas for Muslim festivals in India. Tension is growing further. At present, things have calmed down more than before, but cannot be forgiven.

Potential use of nuclear weapons in both countries

As for nuclear weapons, both governments have a different mentality at the national level than in developed countries, and when conflicts intensify, using them is more likely than we could imagine. In addition, the nuclear weapons possessed by both countries are at best less powerful nuclear weapons, and even if all of them are used, there is no power to destroy or pollute the entire country. For this reason, the possibility that the battle will continue after the use of nuclear weapons cannot be denied.
By the way, in the nuclear weapon development, India succeeded in the nuclear test in 1974, and succeeded in the development of the ballistic missiles “Agni” and “Prisbi” as its transportation means. Pakistan with a sense of crisis developed a ballistic missile “Gauri”, and in 1998, Pakistan forced nuclear tests against India's first nuclear test in 24 years. Both countries were subject to international sanctions.

Compensation for the Kashmir War and India

Scenario status settings

The border between India and Pakistan, where both sides put huge troops on the border, was in tension, but there were frequent massacre cases against Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir, where India ruled. The terrorism against India by Muslims continued to intensify.
Eventually, the conflict between the Indian army that pursues terrorists and the Pakistan army that defends the border escalates. In particular, the conflict was intensified as Suriganal, the capital city of Jammu and Kashmir, where India's nuclear development facility is located, was attacked and the facility was destroyed. Pakistan, ready for a full-scale war, invaded the Jammu and Kashmir region and finally developed into the 4th India War.
In line with this, the Chinese People's Liberation Army deployed forces near the Indian border in Tibet in the name of “exercises” and began to check the conflicting Indian forces. Enemy enemies are allies, and Pakistan is the “customer” of the Chinese weapons industry. Bangladesh, which is usually in conflict with Pakistan, also expressed support for Pakistan in the name of helping its Islamic compatriots, but declared it neutral, but mobilized ground forces along the border with India in preparation for an emergency. . This was in effect to attract Indian forces and indirectly reduce the burden on Pakistan. As a result, the Indian army was unable to divert these troops attached to the border areas to Pakistan.
The Pakistani military seems to have occupied Amritsar in Punjab near the border where the Indian army is deploying anti-ballistic missile “Prisbi” and has made a deep advance into Punjab. There are also many Muslim militias in the Kashmir region, and Sikh militias promised to be independent from the Pakistani government in Punjab.
The Indian government, afraid of advancing to the capital, Delhi, was reluctant to use nuclear weapons and decided to use nuclear weapons. We attacked air bases with nuclear missiles such as “Agni 2”. The reason for not attacking Islamabad was that if the Pakistani government leader was destroyed, the negotiation party would disappear and it would be difficult to end the war.
Pakistan, on the other hand, also anticipated India's preemptive “nuclear” attack, and evacuated airpower and nuclear weapons from the Sargoda Air Force Base. In response, they launched a nuclear attack on Indian troops deployed along the border. The reason for not targeting the city was to avoid condemnation from the international community.
At this point, both countries had used up their nuclear weapons. Although both countries suffered tragic nuclear damage, they are not the end of the war, but they stir a stronger hatred, and the fight continues even more intensely despite the efforts of the United Nations and other forces to a strong ceasefire.

About maps

The main battlefields are Kashmir and Punjab on the Indian side. The former is mainly in steep mountainous areas and is not suitable for moving heavy weapons vehicles. The terrain is more advantageous to the defense side than the attack side.
The capital city Islamabad is very close to the battlefield. The Indian army has been modernizing artillery units in recent years, with a base bleed system (slowly burning the gunpowder behind the fired bullets and extending the range by smoothing the air flow behind the shells) In addition to the long-range 155mm towed field artillery that employs), the deployment of self-propelled artillery with mobility is quite advanced.
It is essential that enemy artillery units equipped with these state-of-the-art self-propelled artillery strike using the dominant air force before capturing the capital within range. Also, in the Punjab region where there is a lot of flat land, I want to watch out for the approach of these self-propelled guns, because the mobility is the thing.
In the scenario, it is assumed that both countries have already repaid nuclear weapons, but because the power, number of warheads, and attack location are limited, the map is based on the assumption that major facilities are not greatly affected It has been reproduced.

Kashmir War / Indian Army Landing Operations

Scenario status settings

The Pakistani army, which took the lead, has expanded its logistics, while the Indian army has been conserved, and troops moved and transferred from other military regions, and the battle line has become stale.
Analysis of US satellite photos shows that the Indian army has gathered ships and combat vehicles in Bombay, and is highly likely to conduct landing operations. Several military experts agree that the landing destination is likely to be a nuclear weapons laboratory and Karachi with a nuclear reactor. The Pakistani army, which concentrates inland power, seems to be faced with a difficult response as the coastal protection is thin.
Furthermore, the Indian army is expected to gather troops near the border in the direction of Hyderabad and support the landing forces from the side.
The absolute army of the Pakistani army is less than that of the Indian army, and in order to respond to the landing troops from Karachi and the offensive from Hyderabad, the troops must be directed from the main front or the strategic reserves behind it. And long-term strategic movement is necessary.
This will reduce the Pakistani army's strength on the main front, making it easier for the Indians to advance from the north. For this reason, the Pakistani army may not be willing to disperse forces, but may be waiting in line with a defense line inland.
In any case, in response to this Indian movement, the Pakistan Navy, which is based in Karachi, seems to be active.

About maps

In the other two scenarios of the Kashmir War, the user is in charge of the Pakistan army, but on this map it is in charge of the hostile Indian army.
The main points of this map are the large city Karachi near the Indus River mouth, its port, and the Indus River flow itself.
As an Indian army, if Karachi is secured, ship operations on the Indus River will be relatively easy, and it will be possible to deploy troops inland in the form of going up the river and advance to the capital Islamabad. At this time, I would also like to pay attention to the fact that the latest ground ballistic missile ship “Spadora” is deployed. If this ship is advanced to the upstream, it is possible to attack Islamabad directly.
The Indus River can also be used as a natural hazard to maintain the front during defense. However, since this is the same for the Pakistan side, neither is advantageous. It depends on the strategy.
In order to make a successful landing, the Pakistan Navy must be fully struck in advance. I want to use the aircraft carrier and the dominant submarine fleet owned by the Indian Navy but not in the Pakistan Navy.

Kashmir war, Islamic Allied war

Scenario status settings

Pakistan's GDP is less than one-eighth that of India, with a population of 145 million, compared to 1 billion in India. The Indian army, which had attacked Pakistan with two major attacks against the background of this national power, almost recaptured the Jammu and Kashmir region, and at the same time almost repressed the Azad and Kashmir region, which Pakistan had dominated effectively.
The Indian army is also looking into the occupation of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The combined unit, where the Karachi landing unit and the landing unit supporting Eastern unit joined, has further advanced northward to the southern and northern ends of Punjab, and is pressing the Pakistani armies facing each other across the border from the side.
In response, the Pakistani government moved the capital function and headquarters to Peshawar, which is close to the Afghan border, and declared a thorough defense.
The possibility of the fall of Pakistan's capital came out, and the neighboring Islamic countries that had been providing aid in terms of supplies and funds until now positioned this war as a `` Holy War '' and decided to participate on the Pakistan side, Declared war on India.
A UN official said that the dispute over the border between the two countries has become a “religious war” between Islam and Hinduism, and the road to ceasefire has become very difficult.
With regard to the participation of Islamic countries, the number of international news media for the Arab and Islamic countries, such as “Middle East CNN”, Al Jazeera, has increased in recent years and has greatly influenced the maturity of the solidarity of Islamic society across borders. Can be considered as a background. For the general public in particular, coverage with television images has had a major impact. In the future, if a particular Islamic country is involved in a war or conflict, there will be a strong public opinion that other Islamic countries should support that country as an Islamic compatriot, which is increasingly likely to move the government It seems to be doing.

About maps

The main stage is the northern part of Pakistan, and the capital Islamabad is a frontal light. However, if this was easily occupied by the Indian army, the political pain was great and it also affected the morale of the army. For this reason, troops are arranged on the map based on the setting that the Islamabad should be protected as much as possible.
The Indian army that has long advanced in the war has exhausted its troops, and especially the logistics are growing. Pakistan, on the other hand, has a high level of morale reinforcements from the surrounding Islamic countries, although it is armed. The increase in land troops is encouraging in the sense of preventing the invasion of India. Another major factor is the availability of air bases within the alliance, such as Afghanistan behind the border. I want to fight back using the surviving air force and ballistic missiles effectively.
This area, especially the northern part from Islamabad, has many mountains, which is disadvantageous for the invasion of mechanized units. For this reason, there are few surprise attacks by mechanized units from the mountains, and the endurance battle can delay the advance of the Indian army. On the other hand, it will be difficult for the Pakistani army to drop Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir.
It should be noted that the breakdown of Islamic Allied forces appearing here is the assumption of regular and militia forces in East Turkistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Iraq.
