What is the coolest name for Ultra modern gaming in the middle east?
Afghanisraq
Afraqistan
Iraqistan
I want to use a name like we do when gamers are doing AK47 style games in fictional Africa. Here is the scratch on the surface.

I am thinking this site might get me that feedback. Someone who knows. Without getting into disrespecting the commitment and the sacrifice our troops make. I have been looking at a lot of DVD's from the library. I like the Baker Boys DVD. |

I've only heard Iraqistan as the somewhat humorous nickname for that part of the world while I was in Helmand/Kandahar. Afraqistan also works, but Afghanisraq just isn't a formulation that sounds like a country name at all. I'd recommend going with Lamekanistan which, forgive me if I transliterated it incorrectly, means "nowhere-istan." |

Battle Rattle covers both OIF/OEF, I'd think (unless you're looking for a semi-humorous term for the region). Containerized Housing Unit (CHU) also known as 'cans' where I served are sometimes collectively called CHUville. |

Personally I like "The Sandbox." Evocative, simple and not terribly offensive. |

Agree with "Sandbox". It's short and sweet, it's solid soldier slang, and it can apply to everywhere of (gaming) interest. |

Sandbox has a nice double play as well, since it also refers to us playing with toy soldiers. |

We're working on an expansion for Age of Madness called Afraqistan. It's a fictional island set in the Indian ocean. It will also be "rules agnostic" to work with games such as Ambush Alley. We'll also be launching a website (Afraqistan.com) to cover news and background information on an ongoing basis. If you're looking for an AK-47 style moderns game check out Warfare in the Age of Madness and the free moderns expansion A Clear and Present Madness. Its main feature is complete force customization as with AK-47 Republic but cover moderns, near future, and post-apoc. |

We're working on an expansion for Age of Madness called Afraqistan. It's a fictional island set in the Indian ocean. That sounds quite a bit like Jeff of Saxe-Bearstein's Afristan which used The Sword and The Flame rules. |
