Wow, just found out that Team Yankee is venturing into the Middle East with Iraqi, Iranian and Israeli forces, appropriately named Oil Wars:

It's all nice stuff - those Merkavas do look lovely - it's got a real futuristic look to it  :)

I spoke to their designer about the possibility of proper Sho't Kals - diesel engines and blazer armour. He says that the owner doesn't want to do them though, plus the Israeli M113s are just repainted US ones with again, no plans for proper Israeli ones with extra FN MGs, mine racks or stowbins. Very short sighted of them if you ask me.  :'(
