I'll leave the exact details of what's where open to some interpretation, so that your posts can have some creative freedom, within the bounds of what's specified on the map. Expect more of the same kind of equipment, vehicles, and forces that we've already encountered though, as drawn from [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equipment_of_the_Iranian_Army]equipment used by the Iranian Army[/url]. Though, expect them to be holding back their good stuff for later on. 

I hope this helps with writing your replies! Looking forward to what's coming next. Hopefully after the next battle scene when we've secured the town, we can have more of a moment for our characters to actually interact in person as well.

On that list, I'm gonna note Iran has parts for 1500 T-72s, but so far irl [i]only ever fielded/assembled 400 of them,[/i] (and elected not to assemble the other 1000 for internal-security reasons) using the leftover bits to help with Karrar MBT production. Similarily, Iran has mass-produced replacement parts for their BMP-2s to such a similar scale that seeing wild BMPT-62s appear would not be out-of-place here. The Zulfiquar 1 appeares to be more based on the older/retiring M-48s from their inventory (180 in total, so ~150 functioning Zul-1s kinda tracks with this). While the more advanced Zul-3 production kinda curtailed due to funding issues as there were still 100 remaining M60A1s to modernize later.
-Also noting that Karrar and Zulfiqar production uses T-72 components, and would likely detract from the absolute total of 1500 units.

From what I can tell, the Safir-74 is [i]almost[/i] a dead-project as only 200 of the 400 actually received the full upgrade, the Tiam basically being an attempt to keep the turrets around atop ~150 ancient M47 Pershing-hulls. But even that program went nowhere.

An interesting thing to note is they allegedly had like 1000 BTR-50s in deep-storage, meaning they could basically flood the battlefield with Makran IFVs... although I've never found the hatches for the troop-compartment (and the unmanned turret is blocking the original hatches), [url=https://forums.kitmaker.net/t/btr-50-with-zu-23-2-iranian-pic-nic/11045]leading to some rather unfortunate implications for the tank-desanties[/url].

For everyone's sanity, probably safer to go with the Iraqi mod that has side-doors

-Or pretend the Makran has side-doors. Either way it's a big blessed chonker.

As in this setting the soviet union kinda stuck around, it would be safe to assume Zulfiqar production had been more-complete (so 250 Zulfiqar-3s), and Soviet bankrolling would keep Karrar production to their goal of 400 units to supplant the T-72S series in frontline service. While the Tiam likely would be more of a tank for the less-trustworthy militias.

Not sure if we can slap an M60 turret on an M47, or a T-72 turret to a Chieftain, but we can find-out.
