Background and overview

Historical background and history of the Palestinian issue

Jews have been wandering people for many years, but many Jews moved to Palestinian ancestors in the Zionist movement from the end of the 19th century. It became like this. Later, during the First World War, if the United Kingdom cooperated with both the Jews and the Palestinians against the Ottoman Turkey, it would cut the karate when it gave an independent country to the land of Palestine after the war. And planned to divide and control Palestine. It is the British “three-tongue diplomacy”.
And, after the end of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was destroyed, the UK, as expected, made the promise of the founding anti-old, and the Palestinian land was divided and ruled by two English and French countries. This is the root cause of the Middle East war between Israel and Arab countries that has been repeated many times since the 20th century.
After the Second World War, many Jews who escaped the persecution of the Nazis flowed in, and not only armed clashes with Palestinians but also terrorism to the governing country and the UK began to occur frequently. At this point, Britain abandoned Palestinian rule, and the UN, which was entrusted with post-processing, decided in November 1947 to divide the land of Palestine into a Jewish state and a Palestinian state. On May 14, 1948, the Jews who received this declared the founding of Israel.

Flow of the 1st to 4th Middle East Wars

On the other hand, Palestinian and Arab communities rejected the unfair division plan, and neighboring Arab countries such as Egypt and Syria declared war on Israel. This is the first Middle East war. This battle was ceased by the United Nations in 1949, but eventually the founding of Israel was officially recognized, and conversely the Palestinians who were forced into a narrow area seemed to be the same as the former Jews In the meantime, it has become a lost race that has lost its place.
In October 1956, a Suez turbulence occurred. This is the so-called Second Middle East War. This is a turmoil where British and French troops were dispatched to Egypt, which declared the nationalization of the Suez Canal, and Israel also participated and occupied the entire Gaza Strip and the entire Sinai Peninsula. As a result, it was pushed by international public opinion including the US-Soviet Union, and the British and French troops and Israeli troops withdrew except for the Tiran Strait.
The Third Middle East War originated from the blockade of the Tiran Strait by Egypt. In June 1967, Israel made an airline strike against Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq. Recaptured the forced Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip. In particular, the air battle was an overwhelming victory of Israel, which greatly contributed to the victory of Israel. It is also called “Six Day War”.
The 4th Middle East War started in October 1973 when Egypt suddenly started an attack from the banks of the Suez Canal. This was caused by the Arab countries trying to reclaim the land that had been deprived of Israel so far, also known as “October War”, “Ramadan War”, “Yom Kipple War” and so on. The Egyptian army deployed along the Suez Canal crossed the canal one after another and entered the Sinai Peninsula. The Israeli army, on the other hand, repelled a tank unit, but was destroyed by a highly deployed anti-tank missile. Israeli Air Force units were also intercepted by dense anti-aircraft missiles and caused significant damage. After that, the Israeli army, which had been reorganized, counterattacked, expelled the Egyptian army from the Sinai peninsula, and the Arab countries did not recover.

The Palestinian Problem

Since then, the Israeli army has invaded Lebanon in 1982, and has become a typhoon in the Middle East. In contrast, Arab oil-producing countries have used oil production and price adjustment as strategic weapons against Israel, which has led to an oil crisis called “oil shock” involving the global economy. Since the 1970s, hijacking incidents by Arab guerrillas have also occurred frequently.
The Middle East conflict also had an aspect as a proxy war, such as the United States with many Jewish citizens and the strong influence of Jewish capital supported Israel and the Soviet Union supported Arab countries. After that, however, the peace treaty was concluded after Egypt took a moderate route, Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula, the collapse of the Soviet Union collapsed the Cold War structure, and the Israeli government recognized Palestinian autonomy, making progress in the Middle East I saw it.
However, in fact, the radicals of both sides against peace brought about terrorist activities and the situation worsened. Also, after the end of the Cold War, the Islamic fundamentalist movement in Arab countries was activated. Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States last year, Palestinian suicide bombings have occurred frequently, and the vicious circle continues, in which Israel strongly revenges and persecutes Palestinians. The fact that the US justified the war against terrorism by AL-Qaeda attacks in Afghanistan is another excuse for Israel to retaliate against Palestinian suicide bombings.
The President of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Yasser Arafat, who represented the Palestinian Provisional Autonomous Government, was detained by the Israeli army on the grounds that it cannot suppress suicide bombing, that is, cannot demonstrate leadership within the autonomous government. In effect, it is being lifted.
However, there are no strong leaders to succeed Arafat, and the stability of the Palestinian region is likely to be ahead for the time being.

5th Middle East War, Palestinian Independence

Scenario status settings

In Israel, terrorism of both Palestinians and Jews continues to escalate and remain in civil war. However, the Palestinian interim government without Chairman Arafat kept secret talks with Islamic Arab countries about independence. And the Palestinian provisional government declared the West Bank and Gaza as “Palestinian Republic” independence, and the neighboring Islamic and Arab countries immediately approved it.
Of course, the Israeli government did not approve of this and started a fierce attack.
In response, the Islamic Arab countries pressed the Israeli army from the Golan Heights and Haifa Pass to support the Republic of Palestine. The Syrian army has invaded Lebanon and is aiming for Haifa via southern Lebanon. At the same time, pressure is applied from the western side of the Golan Heights. In addition, the Iraqi and Jordanian forces surround the Golan Heights. The geographically close Jordan also sends support forces directly to the Republic of Palestine on the west bank of the Jordan River.
The Israeli army had to hold a “civil war” with Palestinians of different nature from conventional armed uprisings, and at the same time, must defend strategic bases such as the Golan Heights and Haifa Pass. Unlike the Middle East war, the weapons of the Arab countries are quite modernized and possess ballistic missiles, so they are likely to face a tough response.
Fortunately, moderate Saudi Arabia and Egypt among the Islamic and Arab countries have expressed neutrality, and these countries will not provide a base for the Islamic and Arab Union forces. However, if the war lasts longer and the war station develops favorably on the Islamic and Arab sides, the possibility of these countries entering the war cannot be denied.

About maps

The map is centered on the Golan Heights to the Dead Sea.
Haifa Pass is an important traffic hub, and if it breaks through, the Golan Heights garrison will be attacked from behind, so I want to protect it.
The Israeli Air Force is powerful, but there are concerns about the number of operational aircraft because it must secure air control in all the surrounding areas and provide ground support. For this reason, I would like to mobilize naval vessels to defend Haifa. You can also move special forces and paratroopers behind the enemy.
Behind the lion's worm, the Palestinian Republic, the Golan Heights garrison is more devoted to defending in the endurance war than to defeat the siege and aggressively enter a mobile battle to decide the sex. It's safe.
It should be noted that the actual Palestinian autonomous army is an army that has few armored vehicles and armed police officers, but it can hardly be said to be a force. However, it is assumed here that it is a powerful army that is integrated with the Jordanian army with the support of Jordan.

5th Middle East War, Arab division

Scenario status settings

There is a fierce war in the vicinity of Israel over the independence of the Palestinian Republic, but seeing this, public opinion has boiled in the Islamic Arab countries, and more countries have decided to send militia to fight against Israel . For this reason, UN peace mediation has ceased to function.
Further, the blame point is for Saudi Arabia. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iraq, “What has made the situation worse is that the Saudi royal family, who has neglected the duty to protect the Islamic sanctuary Mecca, and allowed the United States military troops in Israel to be stationed, has the political power This is because they have not demonstrated their diplomatic power. "
In response to this statement, Iran, Oman, Jordan, etc. declared that Saudi Arabia was not suitable as the guardian of the Arab leader and Mecca, and declared the formation of a larger Islamic-Arabic Allied Force. The Allied goal is seen as releasing Mecca from the Saudi royal family.
«This Mecca recapture operation was considered a holy war, and in order to realize it, the Islamic-Arab Allied forces were obliged to expel Saudi troops such as the Saudi army and the US military stationed there from the Arabian Peninsula.
The Allied Islamic-Arabic Army first decided to attack Kuwait, which is close to the United States, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is close to Saudi Arabia, and Iraqi Oman and others have already begun to advance.
In response to this, the Saudi Army and the US Army stationed in Saudi Arabia are trying to deal with the situation by placing a defense battle on the front and sides of the capital Riyadh. The US Fleet is also rushing to the Gulf region.

About maps

In the other two scenarios of the Fifth Middle East War, the user is in charge of the Western side, but on this map, it is responsible for the hostile Islamic Arab side.
In the map, the vast area from the Gulf region to the inland of the Arabian Peninsula is set as the battlefield. The Islamic-Arabic Allied Forces want to quickly occupy Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, which are opposing forces in the Gulf region, and build a bridgehead for the invasion of Saudi Arabia.
Also, because the US Fleet at the entrance of the Persian Gulf threatens behind the main forces on land, we want to destroy it as much as possible in the early stages.
It should be noted that Israel, which was the main camp in the 5th Middle East War and Palestinian Independence, is still assuming a fierce battle against Islam and the Arab Union outside the map.

5th Middle East War / Mecca Battle

Scenario status settings

The Islamic-Arabic Allied Forces seized Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and also occupied Saudi capital Riyadh. Although the Islamic Arab Arab Army appears to have suffered considerable damage, the new administrations of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates have collapsed and the advent of a new temporary government close to the Islamic Arab Union. As public opinion was also unanimous, the extraordinary governments of these occupied territories decided to join forces with the Islamic-Arab Allied Forces. This allowed the Islamic-Arabic Allied Forces to make up for the worn out forces to some extent and strengthen their logistics.
The Saudi army and the US army that supports it made strategic withdrawal while minimizing damage, forming a thick defense line centered on Mecca and Jeddah. The US Army in Japan, the US mainland unit, and the emergency deployment unit / Marine Corps in Europe are dispatched to the US military stationed in Saudi Arabia as reinforcements. A third fleet with a surviving unit from the damaged Fifth Fleet and a Marine Corps landing unit has entered the Red Sea.
The NATO member states, such as EU countries who feared that this war would take on the character of an Islamic vs. Christian religious war, expressed neutrality, but only the British army entered the US It was determined. It seems that the British army dispatched a fleet containing an aircraft carrier to the Red Sea and landed ground units including the Marine Corps from Yanbu.

About maps

Most of Saudi is a deserted desert area with little shielding. I want to use this terrain and use the dominant air force to stop enemy ground forces.
The mechanized unit of the US military reinforcements is the Interior Brigade, whose main force is armored vehicles such as LAV. For this reason, it is disadvantageous to fight against enemy tanks from the front in a scenic desert. These units should be divisible by reinforcements for side attacks or, in the worst case, just to maintain the front. I also want to attack enemy fronts from the outrange with long-range self-propelled guns while hitting backwards with attack helicopters and armed UAVs.
In the back of the Red Sea, the US and British aircraft carriers are playing a lot, and we want to make effective use of these air and ground attack capabilities.
Also, since this map has few cities in the central part of the Arabian Peninsula, it will be difficult to replenish it if you proceed a little. For this reason, defend against cities where supply is possible, and on the contrary, hit enemy supply vehicles to paralyze logistics and reduce their strength, and then turn to offensive.
