-Joe- 101 Posted June 2, 2021 Steam Workshop - Full Release Overview Sunset over Takistan is a project encompassing the Green Sea Region between 1979 - 1992, and takes numerous creative liberties in an attempt to flesh out the conflicts between Takistan and her neighbours, as well as the Takistan Civil War that ultimately led to the end of the monarchy and the rise of the dictator Muhammad R. Aziz. At this time, the plan is for Sunset over Takistan to focus on two primary conflicts; the Takistan-Ardistani War 1979-1987 (the "Oil War") and the Takistani Civil War 1988-1992. Additionally, special attention is planned for the Chernarussian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Republic of Karzeghistan given their presence in the region. By design, Sunset over Takistan utilises Global Mobilization from Vertexmacht, Western Sahara from Rotators Collective and The Free World Armoury by TepacheLoco. All are essential to Sunset over Takistan, and I am immensely appreciative for the fantastic work they have done. I'm currently investigating creating / importing more equipment into ArmA III to supplement the project further. For any additional queries, feel free to drop me a private message here or reach out to me on my Discord. What's included? At this time, Sunset over Takistan includes the following; Spoiler BLUFOR Royal Takistani Armed Forces Pro-Royalist Militias OPFOR Islamic Republic of Ardistan Armed Forces CIVILIANS Takistani / Ardistani / Karzeghistani Civilians What's planned?

Broseph_Stalin90 72 Posted June 2, 2021 This sounds great, and those units look amazing! I'm really interested in the fictional Green Sea region, so mods fleshing out those factions, especially historically, are really nice to see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Joe- 101 Posted June 9, 2021 Thank you for the kind messages chaps! \o I should have some more updates to share soon - I'm currently trying to work my way through Ardistan's vehicle camouflage to tidy it up a little, and looking to add some more flairs to Takistan (identification stripes on turrets, primarily) to help them stand out a bit more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Joe- 101 Posted July 2, 2021 Pushed out a roughly 20mb-ish update a little earlier. Details can be found below. I'm currently investigating the possibility of creating a dependency mod for a collection of Warsaw Pact / Communist-associated weaponry to use with SoT.

-Joe- 101 Posted July 15, 2021 Currently polishing off the parka for the mountain troops I'm hashing out for the next update. I'm quite pleased with how this has turned out so far. I think I'll stick with equipping them with TepacheLoco's fantastic FN-49 from The Free World Armoury until I can sort the SKS out. Haven't had much of an opportunity to look into importing weaponry recently, however. That's still very much on the to-do list however. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hazar-Kot is one of my favourite terrains in Arma, so I'll quite often hop on and drive around for a bit or pose some screenshots. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
