Web,
We're leaning the same way you are with regards to Kuwait. We happen to have a spare heavy brigade lying around....
. As for other matters, the other options are there specifically because of Soviet support, but in your earlier work which is a big start point for what we've been doing, you do have Desert Storm go off, so we're figuring that Saddam has reasons both to get into and stay out of the war. believe me, this was the end result of some disagreement between us DCWG members.
