The Middle East has long been a hobgoblin for foreign powers and, as much as Afghanistan, also a graveyard of empires. Sitting squarely astride ancient trade routes and with the added impetus of the world's addiction to oil, the area has been a hot spot for centuries.

Now, with the old regime teetering and losing its grip, Iran makes a bid for forcing the West to recognize its complete sovereignty and control over its own affairs by striking at the one thing they care about: the flow of oil. Mining the Straits of Hormuz and declaring it closed to all traffic, Iran defies the world. The US, and perhaps some of its allies, takes action to re-open the straits and get the black gold flowing to the world again.

Next War: Iran is the sixth game in the Next War series. It is unique in the series in that the Allied player has to do the attacking while the non-Allied player attempts to defend its territory against neo-imperial oppression. With a long logistical tail, few true allies in the region, and the menace of Iran's A2AD capabilities, re-opening the Straits is a tall order.

Ownership of any previous Next War series will NOT be required to play Next War: Iran.

Units

Ground units in Next War: Iran primarily represent divisions and brigades of the armies of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America. All ground units are rated for their attack and defense strengths, movement capabilities, and unit efficiency. The Iranian armed forces feature all three branches of land forces: Islamic Republic of Iran Ground Forces, Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; they might get some Russian intervention for whatever that's worth. On the Allied side, the primary forces are the United States with potential involvement by the UK, Australia, France, Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

Air units represent the fighter, bomber, and attack squadrons of the major combatants. They are rated for All-Weather Capabilities, range, average pilot skill and training, and their capabilities in Air-to-Air Combat, Close Air Support, and Strike missions.

Naval units represent an abstraction of groups of ships (task forces) and allow players to conduct amphibious invasions, naval combat, naval gunfire support, and more.

Maps and Terrain

The game's map represents the area along the coast of Iran at a scale of roughly 7.5 miles per hex. The map stretches from the important port of Chah Bahar in the east to a hundred or so miles west of the Straits of Hormuz.

There are a couple of Island Land Areas, similar to other games in the series which contain some important Petroleum Facilities the Allies will want to seize intact if they can.

Features
Weather Determination. Bad weather can severely hamper air and naval operations activity and can significantly slow ground operations.
Initiative Determination and Air/Naval Phase, wherein Air Superiority levels and air availability are determined and Sea Control is established or modified.
Special Operations Phases in the Advanced Game allow players to utilize their special operators in various recon and raid missions behind enemy lines.
Strike Phases in the Advanced Game allow players to launch air strikes, cruise missiles, and artillery and SSM strikes.
One or more Movement and Combat Phases that allow both sides to move, react, and fight with an advantage to the Initiative player on non-Contested turns
Arrival of Reinforcements and Replacements
Victory Determination

Combat resolution examines not only unit strengths but also unit efficiency (representing training, doctrine, and morale), as well as the terrain where the combat takes place. The CRT tends to be very bloody in nature, reflecting what we believe will be a degree of attritional warfare due to the lethality of modern weapons. As in many games, casualties represent not only actual combat losses but also loss of unit cohesion brought about by the rapid pace with which modern armies are able to engage and exploit on the battlefield.

Scenarios

There are several Standard Game scenarios. Some are small and focus on limited objectives while at least one will be a campaign game encompassing the entire map. Similarly to previous games in the series, the Advanced Game scenarios will be divided into various starting points representing different levels of build-up before the game begins.

So, the question remains. Can you, as the Allied player, enforce the will of the West on Iran and get the oil flowing again? Or will you, as the Iranian player, defy the world?

Bad Magnets
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
It fits, it does what it's supposed to, to keep water in, but the magnets at the bottom to keep it in place do not work at all. Maybe not all of them are like that, but mine was, all 3 of the magnets do nothing. It does have metal rings at the top which is appreciated, my last one just had slits in it and it was terrible. So that's a quality plus.

Sturdy, Waterproof, and Easy to Clean

I’ve been using the BigFoot Clear Shower Curtain Liner for a few weeks now, and I'm happy with my purchase. The material feels much more premium than the typical flimsy liners. It’s made from PEVA, so there’s no strong plastic smell right out of the package. It’s thick enough to hang nicely without clinging to you during a shower, but still flexible and easy to handle. The built-in magnets at the bottom add some weight to keep the liner in place against the tub, which helps prevent water from escaping onto the floor. I also appreciate that it’s truly waterproof and dries quickly. Water beads up and runs right off, so it doesn’t get that grimy, damp feeling. It's like Rain-X on your liner. Since it's machine washable, it's easy to keep clean and extend its lifespan instead of having to replace it over and over, which adds to its value. The grommets feel sturdy and hold up well with regular use, even when opening and closing the curtain daily. And they're rustproof so they will retain their color over time. If you’re looking for a reliable, odor-free shower liner that actually stays in place and holds up over time, this is a solid choice.

Cool, Fluffy, and Excellent Value
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I recently got the Utopia Bedding Queen Size Bed Pillows (set of 2), and they’ve quickly become my favorite pillows for a good night’s sleep. Right out of the package, they fluffed up nicely and feel soft yet supportive. The down alternative filling gives a plush, comfortable feel without being too firm or too flat, and the gusseted design adds extra support for back, stomach, or side sleeping. I’ve tried them in all positions, and they hold up well without collapsing overnight. Another big plus is that they stay cool while I sleep. Even during warmer nights, I don’t feel overheated, which makes a huge difference in comfort. The pillow covers are smooth and feel like hotel-quality fabric, giving the bed a clean, luxurious look. The only minor thing is that they may take a little time to reach full fluffiness after the first wash, but that’s normal for down alternative pillows. Overall, these are soft, supportive, and high-quality pillows at a great price. They’ve improved my sleep noticeably, and I’d definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a comfortable, versatile pillow set

Well priced luxury feel.
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
This set of 2 pillows is very luxurious and comfortable to sleep on with good height but not so much as to elevate or lower the head to an uncomfortable degree. I just received them so they need time to air and expand fully but right out of the compacted box they are full and very comfortable. The fabric is very soft and there is no odor. These pillows are definitely a good price for such a luxury item. I think I will enjoy them for some time to come.

Soft...but fluffy and tall
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I've only had these pillows for about a week. They are a great quality pillow. The cover is soft and seems well made. My only complaint is that they are VERY full pillows. If you're tall with broader shoulders, you'll probably love them. If you're shorter with a smaller frame you will probably feel like your head is too high and your neck at a weird angle (my problem). There seemed to be mixed reviews about softness....I would consider these a nice medium pillow. Soft filling but firm enough that your head doesn't sink to the bed. Definitely NOT a down-like pillow, so if that's what you're looking for, this is not for you.
