    Quotes

    All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did.

    --T.E. Lawrence

    Some Englishmen, of whom Kitchener was chief, believed that a rebellion of Arabs against Turks would enable England, while fighting Germany, simultaneously to defeat Turkey. Their knowledge of the nature and power and country of the Arabic-speaking peoples made them think that the issue of such a rebellion would be happy: and indicated its character and method. So they allowed it to begin...

    --t.e. lawrence

    The people of England have been led in Mesopotamia into a trap from which it will be hard to escape with dignity and honor.

    --t.e. lawrence

    "In pursuit you must always stretch possibilities to the limit"- Edmuind Allenby, Commander of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force 1917-1919

    "...I am running short of officers and some of my strengths are getting low ... I have no reserve units.." Edmund Allenby's letter to William Robertson, Chief of the Imperial General Staff on the eve of the capture of Jerusalem.

    "Junior British officers were green, and most could not speak Hindustani. In one battalion, only one Indian officer spoke English and only two British officers could communicate with their men."

    "..The Hill was so steep and the men so done, about three quarters of the way up men fell down and could not get up... I was so done myself that if a Turk had come for me I think I would have been to tired to shoot". - British Lieutenant-Colonel H.J.H Davson on the action during the Battle of Megiddo.

    "Your own ease, comfort, and safety come last. Always, each, and every time." British Field Marshal Philip Chetwode, who led the British to several unlikely victories in the East

    "The horses had not been watered since the previous day and had made a night march of over 30 miles. The Turks immediately started shelling us with heavies ..." 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade War Diaries, from 1917

    "The [charge on Beersheba] was a gigantic bluff, because the Light Horse units were not trained in the use of the sword ..." 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade War Diaries

    "... the bayonet is not a suitable weapon for this class of action, being too short and not sufficiently pointed for effective use ..." a retrospective analysis of tactics from British ANZACs

    "Your excellency, the weight of my body would break the gallows with a noise loud enough to be heard in America." Aaron Aaronsohn, allied spy, to Ottoman general Djemel Pasha, on threat of execution - he was not hung.

    "No nation is free unless it is democratic." Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Ottoman general and later first Prime Minister of Turkey

    "A sideshow of a sideshow." British general Sir Archibald James Murray on the Arab Revolt

    http://www.historynet.com/creating-c...rab-revolt.htm
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The revolt began in 1916 with an estimated 30,000 Bedouins and other tribesmen. To assemble this army, Hussein made deals with various families, clans, and tribes such as the Howeitat and Ruwalla. Many of these irregulars would only fight close to home; all had to be paid. Some tribes would not fight alongside others because of feuds. Most were capricious warriors, battling furiously when the looting was good and the enemy weak, drifting back to their villages when they became bored.


    Though lacking military discipline, the irregulars knew the land intimately and were excellent shots. They could mount a running camel with a rifle in hand. Dashing across sharp rock on bare feet, they could travel at great speed through terrain thought impassable by outsiders. The revolt's leaders employed the Agayl, a group of fierce, elite warriors, as bodyguards. Arab armament was a motley assortment, ranging from swords and muzzle-loading muskets to Mausers and Lee-Enfield rifles.


    Later, these tribesmen were organized into formations commanded by Hussein's three oldest sons: the Arab Northern Army, led by Feisal, with around 6,000 fighters; the 9,000-strong Arab Eastern Army, under the command of Abdullah, made up of camel troops, some artillery, and a cavalry squadron; and Ali's 9,000-man Arab Southern Army of four artillery batteries, mounted infantry, and other units. By 1918, the British were paying their Arab allies £220,000 a month in gold to fight.


    Attached to Feisal's force was the 2,000-strong Regular Arab Army, or Sherifian Army, whose ranks included men from the Levant and Mesopotamia, POWs, and Ottoman army deserters. They were disciplined soldiers, bolstered by around 1,500 Egyptian regulars provided by Britain. The Arab army boasted artillery and machine-gun units as well as mule and camel corps.

    Just edited the Egypt campaign map (saved as a .png so you could edit it yourselves) that I think is much more in-depth than that Redditor did with his version from like a year ago. I added multiple name options for the Arab Revolt depending on how specific you'd want to be, and gave that coastal region left of the red sea back to the Bedouin since UK already has so many regions.

    Nice work!

    The Bedouin would actually be replaced with the Sennusi rebels in this case. I think Sanai should be given to the Ottomans so they can more easily carry out a raid on the suez canal.

    I really like your idea for the Arab Revolt. The only issue I see is the more northern regions you gave to them would be very close to Damascus which is the overall goal of the campaign, however there are so many Ottoman cities near by that it might be easy for them to defend Damascus or even attack the Arab rebels before the player can reach it. It would need to be playtested of course.

    Ah that all makes sense. I looked up the Sennusi rebels and geographically they'd only own the west-most Bedouin region so I guess it'd make sense to give the coastal village back to UK (being a naval faction and all). I loaded a Mamluk campaign on Napoleon Darthmod to get a better look at the Sanai (North and South) and I agree so I gave both to the Ottomans. I agree also that it'd be a good idea to give the region south of Damascus back to Ottomans too. So at this point it would look like 2 major powers dominate the map (which makes sense) and two minor rebellions are sort of just there at the edges (also makes sense). This is just my thoughts and I'll let you take it from here if you guys choose to make this submod. Great job on everything so far!

    Have you looked at the way LME4 worked? That had an Egyptian campaign with a faction selection screen.

    Damn, this sounds very interesting and hopefully it looks promising!
