OK, so 5-10 years in the future. How much of the units are based on current technology, experimental/proposed(Javelin,Exo-skeletons,anti-missile lasers) and sci-fi(power armor, invisability, UFO tech based aircraft)?
This is a long shot, but what about the chances of branding this with the Jane's or Tom Clancy label?

Take another look at the release data Matt's posted - there's no aircraft in April, but the Muslim tank is a AAA Battery, suggesting the aircraft will be out soon after.

Just dropping in to throw out a question I havn't seen yet. Is BF:Evo going to have all the spiffy experemental weapons and gear or are you sticking to more grounded technology?
hi mate,
in the playtester group we have a lot of people with military experience or connections, I think you will be suprise as to the accuracy of the game, as well as the playability.

OK I have a question. Will B:Evo simply be a rules set to allow us to play historical/hypothetical conflicts?
Or will it be a game with a political backstory set 10 years from now?
The middle eastern forces certainly just appear to be based on Iraqi insurgents where say a unified Arab League army would have Russian built tanks rather than hilux trucks etc
That's an interesting question, Penguin.
It's a possibility that they're setting it up so we can do scenarios like Sgt. Smith's battle at Baghdad International Airport....especially with the Fedayeen....
Take a peeky at these hilux trucks.

yeah I'm just a little worried cos MEA sounds like a superstate but is armed like a militia.
I'd like for the militia to be kept but MEA idea dropped OR MEA gets a proper military. Syria, Egypt etc have some amount of hardware

Well, let's take a look at the militaries, right:
Tanks first:
Saudi Arabia: In 1990 Saudi Arabia placed an order for 315 M1A2 Abrams.
Egypt: Egypt obtained US approval in 1984 to build a factory to produce new tanks. Under the initial agreement, the Egyptians would assemble 524 M1A1 tanks, and Egyptian officials hoped that this number would eventually rise to 1,500 tanks.
Syria: Syria has a significant quantity of armor numbering some 4,700 tanks, though 1,200 are placed in static defensive positions and another 2,000 are T-55s and T-62s. Syria does however have some 1,700 T-72/72Ms.
Bahrain: Principal armored weapons are M-60A3 main battle tanks purchased from the United States in the late 1980s.
Iran: The T-72Z Safir-74, Tosan Light Tank, and the Zulfiqar
Jordan: Umm...US equipment...I think.

I'm just a bit worried that the military might of the middle east will be reduced to mujahedeen in trucks......
Some Russian tanks will definitely be needed

I would hope we get to see them in the later releases as well.
I do prefer having a faction that plays differently, so the initial releases work well for me - guys with loads of cheaper vehicles as opposed to having four factions composed of just an infantry unit and a tank. If it is just a case of the armour coming later I think that works perfectly as you get something that plays differently on day one without having to "cheapen" the faction as a whole over the longer-term.

Heh....
All that said, the various nations of the Middle East use a variety of equipment, ranging from old Soviet Block stuff (T-72, AK-47) to Modern US weapons (M1A1 Abrams tanks, M-16s) to domestically developed weapon systems (IDF's Merkava MBT for example). What would an Alliance of these countries field?
