17PF Gulf War Factions

A simple faction representing parts of the United States Marine Corps and the Iraqi Armed Forces during the 1991 Gulf War. Created using ALiVE's ORBAT Creator tool.

USMC forces have a somewhat limited stable of vehicles here to keep dependencies low, but primarily rely on motorized columns and standard foot infantry. They additionally have access to a model of the M1A1 Abrams MBT (while technically not the most correct model for the period, this one was chosen to simulate the M1A1HA/HC models in use which were not accessible with these dependencies). Navy SEALs are modelled here as a special forces component; they're generally lighter and work in smaller elements but benefit from some unique weaponry.

Iraqi Armed Forces is split into two groups - army regulars (comparable to the Republican Guard) and Fedayeen fighters. Army regulars act like any other standing military, and have access to a good number of APCs, IFVs, cars, trucks, tanks etc. Fedayeen fighters are similar to an insurgent faction to reflect their non-standard militia nature, and their pre-defined groups are generally smaller to better simulate the detached and independent groups that would be armed and sent out to resist/delay coalition forces during the conflict.

Disclaimer: Please note that all gear, models, weapons, textures, vehicles, sounds etc. are derived from linked dependencies and are in no way my own work. I take no ownership nor responsibility for any of these assets. This mod purely exists to organize those assets into a more period-accurate modelling of the Gulf War conflict.
