Re: Anybody good at dessert fighting
As you rightly say CM & air ar the most useful assets along with ATGMs however still has big problems.
Egypt dont get 270MLRS till early 2000 & previos stuff is not very effective vs tanks, Syria does get the Uragan to play with, Jordan zip.
Israel has exp of 80 does not need much arty support so can set to CB albeit not much ammo left once hits & loads of targets.
If Israel kicks up dust only Jordan I think has FOOs non vehicle ATGMs with TI, depending on dust level there are 30 vis FOOs who might see. Israel can therefore advance much more dispersed than normal & zig zag reverse direction if human controled. Some APCs can offload there troops to Merkavas & act as decoys producing false dust trails to in the dust storm so truly massed CM or some luck is required to get much. Waiting till they hit your lines so producing dust becomes difficult helps but they then have 6 SD to pop off so you need to blanket the area about 20 hexes around them & hope more than 1 platoon is in it. Even moving Mk3,4s are pretty accurate out to this range. The 50TI FO vehicle can get some if in right position & does not move before being spotted, 1 turn to do its dirty work generally.
