Small part of Egypt the sinai and suez canal

[LaRata]

If will be to difficult to include a very small part of Egypt the Sinai and the Suez Canal to simulate a war here from 1956...??

 

Suez/Sinai War(1956)-- Since the end of the First War with Israel, Egypt encouraged Palestinian raids against the Israelis from Gaza and Sinai. Israel made plans with Britain and France to attack Egypt. On October 29, 1956, Israeli troops invaded Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and quickly overcame opposition as they raced for Suez. The next day, Britain and France, following suit, in response to Egypt's nationalization of the Suez Canal, and on October 31, Egypt was attacked and invaded by the military forces of Britain and France. President Eisenhower of the United States pressured Britain, France and Israel into agreeing to a cease-fire and eventual withdrawal from Egypt. Militarily, Egypt was defeated by teh invading allies, but Nasser claimed a political and moral victory as British, French, and Israeli forces were forced to leave Egypt by the Great Powers.

Yes and of course South Israel with very important airbases.

That would be awesome 

I would absolutely love it, even if we need to pay a bit more for it

This would be great, but the reality is that in order to do it you will need to expand the map to the South significantly and fill in the whole of Israel (Something I recall Ugra/ED said they weren't keen on because of the complexity/detail) in addition to everything in Egypt to atleast the Suez, likely 50-100km the other side, let alone any additional space needed to add appropriate Egyptian Airfields.  I feel like its a logical future map rather than a logical expansion of any existing map.

Agreed. I would much rather see more of the current area i.e. northeastern syria, and the euphrates river banks east of Raqqah fleshed out, which saw the majority of CJTF-OIR air support in the past 7 years.
Expanding the map further south would be very time consuming as the rest of Israel (especially the city of Jerusalem) would take a significant development effort to complete, particularly given the high density of unique buildings. This makes such an expansion quite more time and resource consuming than it seems at face value. That said, if they were capable of doing it, I would be in support of such an expansion.
