March 7, 200521 yr Hey, Jan, check out the news about Israel's planned development of a new radar satellite in the Current Events section. I think this could be tied in to your scenario idea about a potential conflict between Iran and France after an Israeli strike against an Iranian nuclear powerplant (shades of Osirak). You could suppose some French technical assistance in the design and development of the Israeli TecSAR radar satellite, which is then instrumental in confirming Israeli concerns about Iranian WMD intentions. Then, after the Israeli pre-emptive strike, Iran has some more overt reasons to be angry with France. Just some brainstorming to help (hopefully) you along.
March 18, 200521 yr Yeah, this is a nice casus belli, thanks Brad In this particular case i imagine that a more progressive reaction can be suspected from Iran, like some "popular" riots over french embassy. So i imagine that France decide to evacuate their diplomats and post a CVG (plus maybe a CVHG) somewhere near the ormus strait to "protect" their "cutsomers" (countries that us Mirages AC and those that use Lafayette ships... We can also imagine that France deploy some Horizon class ships in the hope to sell some to those countries... I relly LOVE to think about international relations because EVERYTHING is possible in our crazy world
March 18, 200521 yr Author Welcome back, Jan. Hope those drill sergeants (or, your girlfriend, for that matter) weren't too hard on you.
March 18, 200521 yr SInce my sergeant is younger than me, u should ask him if i wasn't too hard on him It was a very interisting FTX because a whole brigade was deployed, we worked with a recce regiment, with a field surveillance radar regiment, with UAV, etc. Most of the time i was in the "blue" forces as squad's corporal (squad leader assistant) but i was lucky enuf to be allowed to act as opfor for 48 hours and it was verry funny since i choosed to bring my sniper rifle (Accuracy International AW), my buddy took a Minimi (M249 in the US Army) and some LAW. We attacked several convoys (only those with ranked ppl inside), two company HQ and found one sniper team thwt was hidding close to our line for two days. We were very annoying as a platoon leader said to me after the endex. So, very funny and very tiring, and i catched a very nice cough for my weekend. What a wonderfull world!
