The USA and its allies in real life versus the GLA at full strength from Command and Conquer Generals.

Which side wins?

Are we going by real life rules? Because if we do, the GLA isn't going to last very long.

If we go by 'real life' rules, the GLA gets owned. They can't touch our airpower as long as they don't fly at absurdly low altutides (except for helicopters). They don't have any weapons really capable of engaging tanks effectively. SCUDs can get shot down by Patriot batteries in theatre...

Looks like SCUD Storm volleys could be the only good weapon.

A lot would depend on the potency of the "Anthrax". A fully upgraded Marauder has some beefy guns, too.

A fixed main gun. Really useful...

The Germans seemed to use them rather well.

Back in WWII they were useful, but the times of such tanks are over - only good for frontal attacks (hence the name Sturmgeschütz), today you'd rather buy some Krisanthemas from the money.

Over half a century ago, when they where fighting a defensive campaign and really needed little more then mobile anti tank guns and infantry fire support machines. Today such tasks have been taken over by ATGM's and rockets. Not to mention production of vehicles during an actual war would never be significant, so simplicity is far less important.

Puny SCUD Storms would be engaged by PAC3 interceptors.

One real life nuke would take out several maps worth of GLA.
