Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Ok, I need your help lads. I decided to make a campaign, and for that I will need some help with what addons to use. It will be based on Afghanistan, it will play on Catshit's Afghanistan map. So I need some Soviets of that era. I was thinking of using the standard Spetsnatz model and add some fancy weapons, but maybe there is a better addon out there for this role? The other question is: the Afghanis, I think some of the Tonal units are best suited for that role. But that would require the download of the Tonal pack...which is quite huge. What do you say? Please vote for this Cheers lads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Consigliere 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Hmm...that's quite the noodle scratcher  Tonalis are black, and their clothes don't look much like the clothes the Muhajiddeen wore. Same goes for BiBMI's African militia. I was thinking of the UCE Middle East infantry, but they're limited to a few units and they're all dressed the same, and their clothes aren't really right...Hmm...There's Christoph's Afghan units from the Afghanistan pack, but they look a bit rushed. I was thinking, if ever you were to use US 'advisors' then the WG Addon Pack's SF FIDs would be perfect Then again that's a pretty big download  Hmm...the jury's out for this one  I think your best bet would be to use the updated UCE units, as you get a mixture of Russian forces (desert, standard camo) and you get a mix of Resistance units (Middle East terrorists, jungle Resistance), which could pass as Muhajideen...

Acecombat 0 Posted December 12, 2003 I would recommend otherwise Tonalis dont fit in Afghanistan Try using one of those bearded addons outthere or some of old UCE's middleeastern fightrs much more suitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicksand 0 Posted December 12, 2003 i also think you should go with UCE..But what`s the campaign all about???Which side will you play..What type of missions.. Could you please give more details? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Those "Middle East Guerillas" - you reckon they could pass as Afghanis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Yeah, did some testing tonight, I will use the UCE Middle Eastern Guerillas. But there is still the issue of the Russkies. I don't think the olive drab is any good....do you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted December 12, 2003 What about the Tigerstripe camo for the Spetznatz (Maybe by UCE )? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Hrm... Not for missions taking place in Afghanistan. SDOC/UCE's Russian pack might be too big to download with the weapon packs required. Perhaps a talk with UCE on modifying the config and the addon in general to only include the desert soldiers and the original weapons? EDIT: After looking at the size of the regular infantry I have come to realize that no modding of the CPP would be needed. But the two weapon packs it requires makes the thing a bit hefty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicksand 0 Posted December 12, 2003 nope..won`t work on CAT Afghanistan map..But if I remember corectly Laser realesed some excelent russian units is desert camo only problem is that they were modern and not soviet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted December 12, 2003 The UCE Russians are the only ones that could be used with effeciency as I see it. As far as I know alot of green camouflage was used by the Russians in Afghanistan aswell as desert camouflage. And we don't have any Soviet soldiers except the official ones and the WW2-era ones by Stoppehoser, so these would be the closest I guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted December 12, 2003 I think I should just use the normal BIS ones :/ Most of the pictures on the web are black and white, but the few colour ones feature green uniforms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Consigliere 0 Posted December 12, 2003 IIRC correctly, UCE made Soviet soldiers...If all else fails, you might consider using the GDR soldiers in the same pack. They're pretty much Soviet soldiers, but I can't remember if they have any obvious badges or patches,etc...So that could be a prob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinister-tnuC- 0 Posted December 13, 2003 is it wise to use CAT's Afghan map? it is still a beta and has changed considerably over the last 3 versions, whole towns have been removed, roads, terrain have all changed.... a campaign on Tonal with the included units would be just as awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
