Snow deltas and rangers

[billybob12 0]

Are there any snow camo Deltas and Rangers from BAS out? I would love to have some if there are any. If not, I hope someone could retexture them.

No, there arent any from BAS, also there wouldnt really be much point, the deltas are generally CQB/Anti-terrorist/VIP Protection troops, also i'm not 100% sure but i think USASOC probably has specialized troops for the arctic than the Rangers like the 10th Mountain Division. Itw ould also need more than a retexture, it would need competely redoing as they would have to have full snow kit on, albeit a british soldier, a US soldier would wear something similar:

Gotcha, but it would still be nice to have them for any arctic special operations missions, OFP doesn't necessarily have to be 100% realistic, but simply retextured units would be satisfactory....given they'd be used in fictitious missions.

The training philosophy of the 75th Ranger Regiment dictates the unit’s’ high state of readiness. The philosophy includes performance-oriented training emphasizing tough standards and a focus on realism and live-fire exercises, while concentrating on the basics and safety. Training at night, during adverse weather, or on difficult terrain multiplies the benefits of training events. Throughout training, Rangers are taught to expect the unexpected.

So i would say they are also trained for artic/winter warfare. And a bit more than the normal infantry soldier. I couldnt find any picture of any rangers in artic uniform, but then again there really havent been any major or small artic conflicts , which is where most soldier pictures are taken . But i would think that your source inside the army could get the information you need. I agree about the delta's. And you are also right when you say that the 10th mountain division are specially trained for artic warfare.

Anyways i hope that this would make you think about again, and decide that we all need some ranger's for artic warfare aswell.

Meh, ok so i didnt actually do a whole lot of research before posting, however, BAS has no plans to make arctic units at the minute, so there really wasnt much point anyway, but i would presume they would go for the dedicated arctic troops(10th mountain) over the all-rounder troops(rangers) in an arctic warfare situation.

Should BAS decide to do this, which I think dedicated 10th Mountain Div. would be perfect, I wanna be the first to get my hands on that addon. Kegety's nice winter units included in his island pack are great, but I, as well as many others I'm sure, want modern troops. The 10th Mountain Div. sounds like an excellent idea, for an addon.

Surely someone out there has the talent to reskin them?

I Remember seeing somthing about the 10th Mountain Division in winter camo at Operation Flashpoint at Axlegames.com but i cant find it.

It would be nice if some addon maker or team did an all new snow special forces addon, with units in furry hoods etc.
