Afghanistan vs Soviets

[bigdog632]

how about the old war between the afghans and the soviets
it would be an interesting one i feel most of the already available addons can be used
and lotsa desert islands or make an afghanistan area


p.s. if this is already discussed i apologize for overlooking it

That's a great idea bigdog. Contact me if you would like to collaborate.

That's exactly what I was thinking...

But we need new units and especially a new island - with no water

I've been working on a script for defensive flares dropped out of helicopters and jets - I was thinking of this campaign.

Afghanistan1985 - when the american stingers started arriving.

I have some info about soviet uniform/weapons/tactics in Afganistan. Please refer, if you need so. But storyline and characters still needed (if it going to be a campaign), because good campaign starts from the good story about Regular Guy and the Big War.
From this position I can see two possibilities:
1. Work hard to create a real-looking characters and storyline (especially from mudzhaheds side)
2. Receive another  version of Rambo III movie.

storyline could be basic russian soldier sent into afghanistan or a afghani kid who joins the fight to get rid of the russians
