Armed conflict of Israel and France now went from "what if" to "possible" state. That would make really interesting campain - Merkavas vs Leclercs, one first world army against another.

In SPMBT it would be an interresting idea but in reality, it's totaly impossible: neither Israel nor France have any interrest in helping Hizbolla and it would be a direct consequense of a conflict between them.
And, it's a very bad idea to fight with white painted Leclercs and 1200 mens against tsahal but it's a worst idea to fight against a 60M nation when you are hardly 6M. So...

The idea was interrseting, so I realised a small scenario based on the very small informations given... The initial situation is made as from the picture at the indicated website... After that, the units are totaly hypothetical...
It's a what if naturaly... I only play tested it twice so feel free to add everything you want and upload it again with your own name as designer... It's more a preview of what could be the suggested campain.

Sorry, I have forgotten some 'advices' that are really important:
- as the Israelian player, you MUST wait for reinforcement and mass your troops with the help of the 'ditch' on the right corner of the map...
- your apache is very usefull because he can be targeted uselessly by the leclercs and destroy some of them
- you will probably loose all your 1st turn vehicles.
- infiltrate your infantry of the bottom of the map in the village: they can destroy the leclerc staying there.
- there are some UN reinforcement coming on turn 18: they are Italian aero troops: this is totally unrealistic but this is not the aimming of this 'scenario'...
good luck

and bonus some more picture (the text is in french, it's yahoo news in french ):

I would say that french and israelis did not seem to be about to fight... or the french crewman is a fool...

Nothing is unrealistic in WinSPMBT.
