Al Salman, Iraq (legacy)

Description
On 2 August 1990 the Iraqi Army invaded and occupied Kuwait, which was met with international condemnation and brought immediate economic sanctions against Iraq by members of the UN Security Council. Together with the UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher, who had resisted the invasion by Argentina of the Falkland Islands a decade earlier, American President George H. W. Bush deployed US forces into Saudi Arabia, and urged other countries to send their own forces to the scene.

This is a terrain that I made for a campaign in Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War for special forces missions and SCUD hunting. Now releasing since it's not being used anymore.It was made within about two weeks along with the objects with a real world heightmap and satellite image. It was made for infantry combat and foot patrols inside a city environment. The map includes some custom Saddam murals and posters to set the scene, the town itself is only based on the shape of the real life location and not made to replicate the real town in full detail.


- 5 cell size.
- 10x10km in size.
- Urban bazaar with compound combat in mind.
- Large city with a muslim graveyard.
- Based on the real area around Al-Salman.
- Custom Saddam murals and posters.
- Now set in 2003 but can be used for any time period.
- Micro-terrain for desert combat.
- Created specifically for infantry patrols, mechanised and tank combat.
- Vast oil-fields to the south
- One airbase situated on the north east corner.

It's great for mechanised and tank warfare, SAS patrols and infantry unit patrols inside the main town area. I tried to keep everything compact for the type of urban warfare that you see in Iraq with compounds, alley ways and paths winding all over the place.


Beware of the brightness in the middle of the day, it can be quite blinding in certain conditions. I will look into fixing this but until then just set the time to morning or later in the day.

Big thank you to Opteryx for allowing me to use his old object pack.

Please rate and favourite. Enjoy!

Amazing map. used this for the Unit i am with. did a SCUD Hunt mission and it worked way better then our past attempted on another map. we were aware of building issues in the town so we avoided it for my mission. plenty of open ground to fight

i remember a past life(IRL)[just the last few hours];where i lived during this; i remember being ordered to burn all the oil, and i remember lighting the oil on fire and rigging the barrels with explosives, the iraqis were mad because the US invaded kuwait because at the time iraq did not have adequate oil, iraqi's hated the united states because every time iraq would try to make oil deals with foreign countries the US would interfere and block their attempts.
