Night fighting Equipment is limited to Infantry HQs, OP and Missile Teams, Mechanised and First Line Infantry may use IRNF from1965, and IINF
from1988. Militia are restricted to IRNF. OPs may add GSR, at the rate of 1 Set per battery or Brigade Platoon, from1986.


Aircraft.
Like the Army, the Airforce has much obsolete equipment, and retained many types well past the time at which all other users had retired them. The
following types may be used.
From1958 to 1965 F Mk6 Sabre, F86D Sabre, Mig 15 as Fighters, F84G as Strike.
From1966 Delete MiG 15, add MiG 21 as Fighter, add Galeb as strike.
From1982 Add Orao as Strike, delete F84G and F Mk 6 Sabre
From1986 Delete F86D
The Rest of the Middle East.
The following section covers the rest of the major Middle Eastern Armies. Many of these did not exist until well after the srat time of 1958, and several
have been totally reoganised by internal strife. In particular Iran has suffered froma major revolution, although their basic force structure has not been
changed. To cover this fact many of the following armies are only listed fromthe point at which they stabalised to some formof static organisation. There
are still some suprising organisations, and equipment mixes.
Iran
As noted in the paragraph above, the Iranian army has changed considerably in organisation, since the overthrow of the Shah in 1978. This however was
forced by the lack of spare parts, and war losses, and offically no changes have been made. A mix of equipment is in service, although most armour is from
Western sources. Chinese and Russian vehicles are war booty, captured fromIraq in large quantities during the fighting between 1980 and 1988. I have
only given one list, and based it on the pre-revoultionary army. There are notes to cover changes. Iranian BMPs were purchased without facilites for
SAGGER ATGW, it is possible that this was added during the 1st Gulf War, but I have no information on that.

Notes
1) Pasteran may not be used until 1982. Brigade HQs may control 3 Battalions of regulars, 2 Must be armoured or mechanised in a Tank or Mechanised
Brigade, all three must be Infantry in an Infantry Battalion. Regular Infantry Battalions have 3 companies, Pasteran ones have 4.
The supports allowed are noted above.
2) Pasteran are fanatics. To reflect this add 5 to their activation roll. Religious groups add 8 to the factors, unless destroyed, in which case 8 is subtracted
fromthe HQ to which they were attatched. Note that religous groups are unarmed.
3) New Equipment :
EE9 : 1970 : 90mmLP firing HEAT, HESH, Fc 4, Us, cMG, pMG, 1:0:0:0, None, M:S, SStd, SD, IINF, 13 tonnes.
M116 : Towed Howitzer, 1938, 75mm, HE, Smk-B, HEAT, Fc 2, Us, 8.8km, Soft, IS, Towed, None.
Infantry I have only given 1 table for infantry, it is possible that the main weapon was a bolt action rifle until 1964/5. Pasteran could also carry such
weapons. Regular units and OPs may use IRNF to 1976, and IINF fromthen on. AOPs may have GSR from1975.

Iraq
One of the larger, but apparently less efficient Arab armies, the Iraqi armed forces operate a mixture of Russian, Chinese and third world equipment. Some
of this is not paid for, and at least one Austrian arms company went bankrupt due to this. Ever since the Baathist party took over the country has been
pressing its claimto Kuwait, to the point of threatening invasion in 1964. Despite its size the army is quite poorly equipped, outside the elite divisions. It
did have considerable combat experience, but of a static nature, between 1980 and 1988, fighting Iran. This was financed by other Arab states, in the form
of loans. The Iraqis operated a huge quantity of equipment types, some in very small numbers, but much was lost during Desert Storm, and it has not been
replaced due to the sanctions. They also hold some vehicles captured fromthe Iranians, but the status of these is unknown. It is possible that some have
been put into service, but spares would be very hard to come by, and it is unlikely that any are used. Chieftains are the possible candidate, but were not
used in Desert Storm. Iraqi vehicle production consists of licence produced T72s, and modifications of T55s T62s, and Type 69s. The list below
assumes a front line force, and is complete for the period 1965 to 1993, although unreliable after 1991. Dates indicate the first time equipment can be used.

1) The list above allows any type of Iraqi formation to be used. The infantry Company types may be used as follows :
Armoured : Type A companies, and Type B companies in BTR-50, OT-62 or WZ531. Recce has PT76
Mechanised : Type B companies in BTR60, OT64, EE11, or WZ531, Recce may use Armoured cars
Both Mechanised and Armoured may use SP artillery, and Missile A/T platoons
Infantry : Use Type C Companies. The majority should be in soft transport. One battalion may be in APCs. Only towed artillery may be used.

Kuwait 1965 to 1993
A state formed in the aftermath of World War I, under British protection, Kuwait remained a backwater until the discovery of oil in the late
1950s. Its protection was under British mandate, with the British accepting responsibility for foreign policy, until the early 1960s. At this time Kuwait
formed its own armed forces fromthe British equipment stored for emergency use. This policy was continued, with the purchase of sufficient Vickers Mk
1 to forman Armoured Regiment, followed by Chieftains in the late 1970s. These replaced the Centurions totally, Vickers being transferred to the
Mechanised Brigade. By the late 1980s there were two armoured Brigades with Chieftains, and M113s, and 1 Mechanised Brigade with Vickers and
M113s. At the time of the Iraqi invasion M84s [T72Bs ] and BMP-2s were on order. The list below covers the entire period, initially the unit is a
mechanised or infantry brigade, later units are Armoured or Mechanised Brigades. Following 1990/91 the status of much of the older British equipment,
such as Saracens, Saladins, Ferrets, and Scorpions is unknown. Dates in the list below shown as [ To XXXX], indicate that the equipment may be used up
to that date, [XXXX] indicates that it may be used fromthat date. Future orders include M1A2, BMP-3, and Desert Warriors(Fahris), these can be used
with opponents or organisers agreement for later armies.
