Here is gulf war in fleet command. It has all the Iraqi infrastructure, Iraqi Air Force is not implemented yet, you can blow up everything and they will not fight back.

The main feedback I am interested in is if another game engine will run this, command modern operations is limited to a thousand units.

Let me know feedback, or even if this gets zero replies, I can say I posted it.

Harpoon3 has run scenarios with units in the thousands (and this was before the availability of modern virtual super-computers). It might run like molasses from the number of calculations, but the 'Axis of Evil' scenario ran without a crash. I think it was the largest scenario ever written for Harpoon3.

In my experience harpoon 3 will run large scenarios but the units won't attack each other.

Axis of evil is 5,000 units. Gulf war alone was about 3,000 tanks on each side. I don't think it will run but I'll keep trying.

Big difference between harpoon and fleet command is that in fc buildings can see. In harpoon they're passive. A Sam site in harpoon is like a building in fc, so the "real" units of those 5,000 is like 1,000.

Units in Harpoon3 must have assigned missions in order to conduct attacks. The AI is not higher-level autonomous. Simply placing units within a scenario will not allow the AI opponent to devise a plan to use them.

Your FC files end with the *.scu suffix. I thought that most FC files ended with *.scs
Is there a reason for this difference?

I am using the original, unmodded fleet command from the editor. The user missions are SCU by default in the original game that comes with the CD. The Janes missions are SCS.

I have posted a link to your Github files for Fleet Command. Let me know if you require any changes.

Im working on the navy and sorties. Have everything else ready. Hopefully gulf war scenario will be complete.

In the face of overwhelming indifference, I'd like to add, the navy is implemented. Now I just need the sprites.

As implemented, the sorties suffer from AI, which would probably accurately reflect reality if Iraq resisted.

It's said speicher took off around midnight. All the sortie timings in the official history are off, in reality they must have took off around 3am because they would reach the target in 30 minutes.

In fleet command the AI (wisely) chickens out before Baghdad. In fact, it's not really able to do anything, it mostly bombs Kuwait and can't get past the SAMs around basra and H3.

Historically, supposedly, they sent b52s north of Baghdad on the first day. Plus, they were able to reach H3 and bomb Baghdad. In the game there's no chance.
