Wow, looks great! Reminds me of the movie titled The Fourth War, where Soviet and American officer started their own private war. In winter scenery of German-Czechoslovakia border.

Arctic warfare at it's finest!

Wow, looks great! Reminds me of the movie titled The Fourth War, where Soviet and American officer started their own private war. In winter scenery of German-Czechoslovakia border.

I was working on a mission with a similar backdrop. I've never seen or heard of the film, though. Sounds like a very fitting scenario for OFP:CWC. The weapon load outs for the infantry are based around the 1985 era, adjacent CWC, so that's cool.

@All: thanks for the support.

Updated to 1.1

You can see the new hood models here: https://imgur.com/a/hWHzJ#38

Basically the same, but with some fixes to avoid glitching and slightly better texture assignment.

The download now also includes a mission by Apocalypse83 from the campaign he's working on. It's tagged as preview, but it's the full mission. And here's a glimpse at the intro:

CHANGELOG

v1.1 - Model tweaks, accuracy corrections for vehicles

- FIX: Insurgent female rifleman for west and east had their side incorrectly assigned
- FIX: East T-55 was incorrectly assigned to the resistance side
- FIX: Resistance vehicles weren't identified correctly when used in other sides (east and west)
- FIX: Several fixes to all unit models, including the remodeling and uv rewrapping of all hood types
- CHANGE: US units now use M16A2 variants
- CHANGE: US rifle units now use vests and helmets more appropriate for the late 80s, early 90s

@Keno:

Thanks for the update. M16A2 - yessss! ;)

Mission is really nice, though a little bit easy (I'm lame in "sneaky" missions, but completed this one on first try). But as an intro to campaign - very good! There's only one problem at the end, when the boat appear, but it immediately swims to the south - I've got to force my team to board it, and only then boat stopped at the shore.

First try? That's pretty impressive. The mission is more challenging than you might imagine, because if you get detected, bad things happen. But not the most exiting mission to begin with, seeing as it's all about stealth. The rest should be more exiting, especially the next one.

I didn't notice the boat problem, because I usually order the team into the boat anyway. There are sometimes a few problems when converting BIS missions to WW4, so thanks for feedback.
