Not being racist, but here I go, why are there olive branches surrounding an israeli flag?

LOL!

Look closer, it is not the flag of Israel!

It is the flag of the Western Free Nations.
And that wonder is for their HQ.

The thing in the center is a little globe thing.
It's like an inverse UN flag.

And added a few new icons too!

Curt: is there any chance that you could post the complicated, alternative storyline somewhere in here? I know it must've been changed a bit for this version, and it would be some interesting reading

Btw, nice icons (as usual)

@POTUS:
Apart from all the other scenarios featuring Soviet Russia, not many!

@Arthedain:
No sweat, I will post that with the readme!
The story is not too complex...But it should be a fun read!

Anyone know if Greece had a special forces unit before the Katadromes, ETA and MYK?

All these units began in the 1950's...

We sure did!

Who do you think chased those commies out of Greece?

I was about to come to this thread and propose you have special forces as a Greek unit(the elite Evzones alpine troops were disbanded by that time), but i see you came up with it first.

The special forces of the time were called ËÏÊ(Lochos oreinon Katadromon-alpine special forces regiment), and were hand trained by the SAS. Splendid troops all of them-and monarchists to the core.

The Greek army still has ËÏÊ units by the way.

Excellent, pericles!

ËÏÊ will be in the struggle for sure!
I have read up about them. These men are hardcore!

The anti-commie battle in Greece has given me an
idea for an event to bring these elites into battle!

Great Idea!!
Curt, you have done it again!! This is sure to be a smash hit. It looks like alternate WW2 scenarios are going to be all the rage this year.

Oh yeah, giving the Isreali's Panzers and Me-109's is just brilliant!! Poetic justice can be so ironic eh? Isreali's using Nazi built equipment to fight for their homeland.

And here is the trooper in question!

Is it an acceptable late 1940's Greek Spec-Ops soldier, Pericles?

The problem with Israel being in the WARPAC is that is was by no means a Soviet type of country. Israeli "communism" on the kibbutz was rather different from the Soviet and Chinese systems. Also, Israel is an anomaly in some ways. At this time it had both American and Soviet support.

Yep, most of the agricultural workers (i.e. kibutzniks) were Russian Jews or their children, near universally communists.
However, most of the urban Jews were German, British, American, or sabras. All were leftist, but not communists, more of socialists, and were not supporters of the Soviet Union.

Besides, the Arabs were pro-anyone but the British, Americans, or Jews. Do you think that they would stand for being allied with the Israelis, or their allies?

Well, I might make Israel one of the WDA (democratic alliance) city states.

I don't want to go with the predictable 'Jerusalem is a USA-owned city' routine.

UPDATE:

I have the tech tree sorted.
It will be a straightforward process of fixing the rules henceforth.

Then I will use civ-cty to fix the map, place the units, then it is playtest time!

And I should say that the events this time are going to be 'functional'...Nothing elaborate.

Messages will pop up for major city captures though.

Scrap that Curt - better still see what Catfish has come up with (units page, scroll down below the fantasy units - )

http://users.tpg.com.au/jpwbeest/index.html

There are some INCREDIBLE renditions of German cammo'ed and my Russian tanks.

If your reading this Catfish, top work mate!

Maybe make Israel neutral and either side can "convince" Israel to fight with them.

Where do the Arabs fit in though? If Israel is neutral, what are the Arabs? Because then the Arabs and Israel would get along.

Perhaps Israel could be made a rebel state and let the differing factions fight over it.

@POTUS & rmsharpe:

I like both ideas, I will ponder this.

I have events-created Israeli Panzers, which could be brought into the fight be the side that takes over the city.

The Arabs will be a minor mix of rebel and east-nuetral cities.

Ready for an ass-kicking basically.

Curt the soldier appears fine. Thing is that all photos of the era are black and white so i can't seriously assert the uniform colour. It was certainly not white though.

I would guess they wore the same uniform as the British special forces.

The hellenic army's site(www.army.gr) is crap and it screws up if the english language is selected.

I am sure Tanelorn can shed more light in this.

P.S and the LOK weren't paras btw, if thats what you are implying with the wings over his shield.
