    Really like the concept! The original setting was what got me hyped for ArmA 3 when it was first announced.

    If I could nitpick some elements in the Showcase (I need to replay it again tbh), it'd be mostly terminology or clarification (I'm a chronic background/lore junkie...), such as a "Republican Guard division" being airlifted in, when the AAF have only a few thousand soldiers in a couple of regiments. Could I suggest that being a company of handpicked soldiers with extensive CSAT training?

    There was a small disconnect between the text and the spoken dialogue.

    The other thing would be clearer distinction of the 3rd Army being a CSAT or Russian force, or a mix of the two.

    Would love to see the Orbat module used too :P

    Thanks!

    Hi there, just wanted to share my take on how the Molatian army might be organized (/likes orders of battle...), with a few liberties taken. I tried to keep to the spirit of what IceBreakr's said in this thread whilst adding my own interpretations and imagination of things. Should note I'm unaware of the population numbers and true scale of Isla Duala.

    Numbers are based off Soviet TO&Es.

    @Xarxemas, seems alot of Infantry for a small nation. Would Molatian have the necessary Capital to even run that size of an army?

    Tbh, I have no idea, hence why I mentioned I had no idea what the population is or if the game map is true to scale. Though I think the order of battle is fairly scaleable.

    Story-wise, Takistan being pro-West for 98% of the Cold War would've warranted augmented tank and motor-rifle formations stationed in Chernarus - possibly based around a elite speartip formation equipped with T-80s pointed across the border.

    (I like to immerse myself a bit..:))

    Oh, would you consider the T-84 Oplot and its derivatives in the future?

    Xarxemas:

    Good point,

    but

    we always may assume that

    1. CDF has no T55's at all anymore; scrapped or sold to finance the maintenance of T-72's being in service

    2. Chedakis have other methods of supplying themselves than robbing CDF depots

    [as far as I am concerned Chernarus borders with Russia, right?]

    Fair enough; particularly with number 1.

    .... nice try ;)

    No, no screens this time;

    Official RHS Press & Media Service will take care about this when the time is right.

    And a second "no" -> as to CDF tanks... there are several versions planned and already executed, as well as different factions; but can't confirm the CDF to be amongst those...sorry

    So, the rationale is going to be that the Chedakis stole the entire arsenal of T-55s from the CDF's depots? lol?
