I wanna make an Afghan Soviet war scenario

[communism]

I do however need as many units as I can for the era of occupation.

[Sarsstock]

Units eh? Are you looking for Fairline style units then? What kind of map will you be using? Do you have a rough units list on hand? Who do you see the playable civ's being?

Its certainly an interesting idea, to my knowledge there hasn't been one before. I could easily be wrong, but still I would love to watch this one in particular in development.

You should finish your Iraqi scn first

[Harry Tuttle]

Find Typhoon. He has units up the whazoo for this time period.

[Broken_Erika]

have a T-64 MBT, many russians still think it is better than the T-72, plus the T-64 was used as a base to build the T-80,

[Sarsstock]

Very good tank there Erika, did you modify it yourself? Its just the kind of style in armored units that I think would be best used in this case... that is assuming this is indeed an MGE scenario.

[Patine]

I myself would suggest doing it from the Mujehidin's point of view, as the Soviet perspective may be a bit too easy. Just my opinion, though.

All in good time. I'm working on them both

I'll be using a large map.

One Civ Soviet Army

Another Civ The Afghan Government

the rest, various disparate muhajadeen factions.

The Units?

Hind helicopters, T-72's BMP's various soviet special forces, and Afghan Government troops and Soviet Army forces.

Soviet Bombers Soviet Fighters. I don't really know the makes of such,

The Units I'd like to be along the lines of the design Nemos.

Soviet Frustration in trying to maintain a stable government, and withdraw without the state collapsing would be as good as the Muhajadeen viewpoint.

Fair enough point. Another suggestion is working some way to simulate American aid of the Mujehidin factions, either in pure gold, or units generated with stingers and such.

Already considered

[Sarsstock]

Ahhh, so your a fan of the Nemo school of design eh? I can respect that. Nemo's graphics were afterall the begining of modern isometric graphics in Civ II.

How many neighboring civ's will you include? Will Iran or Pakistan come into play at all? Perhaps under the storyline that if the Soviets are somehow able to secure Afghanistan that further expansion into Central Asia would be desired? Or looking at it the other way giving other civ's such as Iran or Pakistan to become directly involved in the conflict in one way or another.

[Broken_Erika]

my guess is that iran will be pre-occupied with iraq for a while,

Yeah, I could involve Pakistan, but then I'd be worrying about them both declaring war against each other, you how Civ is.

I just happened tofinish some Soviet troops in Afghanistan a few minutes before reading this thread. Talk about coincidence
