Persian Gulf Map reports?

[Bedouin]

Hi community,

 

When Google fails me, then luckily there always is the best community to look for help... you guyz :helpsmilie:

 

For a personal preparation for the future upcoming map Strait of Hormuz, i was wondering if anyone knew of some:

 

• 
  
• Geopolitical reports
  
• Military analysis of the area
  
• Conflict assesment reports
  

So if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated...:thumbup:

 

Thanks in advance,

Mo'

Here are some of the best references I could find that in my experience most accurately reflect the broad-brush picture in this theatre.

Are you thinking about Campaign/Mission ideas Bedouin?

Are you thinking about Campaign/Mission ideas Bedouin?

 

Really more about getting situation awareness, and fractions overview... And then perhaps some alternative mixed with realistic scenarios (campaign or missions)...

 

But properly mostly getting some background info of the region and the nations, and the political/military/economical overview...:book:

 

This sounds a bit messy/unlogical when i read a second time, but i hope you get my point...! :cry:
