Operation Karbala 4. Was a failed offensive in 1986 by the Iranians to capture Basra in southern Iraq. It was claimed that it failed due to the help provided by the Americans. The Iraqi's were prepared for the attack helped by US intelligence they had received.
The battle itself was planned and eventually executed by Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. The operation would be launched under cover of darkness in order to gain a foothold along the Arvand Rūd/Shatt-al-Arab waterway. Once across, the Iranian forces would go on the offensive and eventually move onto the port city of Basra. The attack would be launched towards the Umm al-Rasas Island in the Shatt al Arab.

So is this Steam only? I checked the Graviteam website and their only redirect to buy is at Steam. I have the GG version of SABOW.
If we're going Steam only I'm going to re-buy it on Steam while it's on sale.

I just rebought it on Steam myself. This is one developer that deserves the second purchase...
Yeah, $28 including DLC isn't going to break the bank.
Snack it. I just bought the game and DLC on Steam.
I'd be surprised if it didn't show up on GG. Man i suck at steel armor...more like burning armor ;D
Hi
I am pretty sure it will appear on Gamers Gate so hang in there. This is a good DLC.

Combat Mission has swimming tanks too.
So what...I wasn't comparing them. I bought that too.
Thanks for the head's up. I think I'll just keep the Steam version for now- it's only 20 clams and since I already bought it...

Yep - I bought that Asid. For the price thats a heft load of DLC.
One question since you seem to be in the know. My steam version still has the old update procedure available.
I am presuming as its on steam I no longer need to worry about that - which always confused me with all of their games.

Yes, the updater will install/update everything automatically. Just make sure to press Save&Play when it appears.

Great. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Jumping into the Battle editor is a quick way to learn once you have done the tutorials.
Let me know if i can help in any way

As Krabb said. The process is automatic. When the updater pops up and does it's thing just hit "save & exit" and you're done.
Hope this helps.

I just bought the Steam one... just for the heck of it. :D
Couldn't believe I hadn't already bought it; picked it up while on sale. Thanks Asid! O0

Ok thanks asid will let you know. You could alter time and space to allow me more time to play all the games I have ?
I will check out what you said about the updater, what I take from what you said is the updater present in the game is still used it just works automatically i.e. the game doesn't update via the steam client like my others do ? Am probably unclear as don't have it in front of me currently.
thanks too kebab for answering
It updates via the steam client with additional step of the in-game updater (Save&Exit button).
