[Faction] Guinean Gulf Organisation Forces

[Discussion Thread]

Just a random map of the West and central Africa, Don't look at the colors...

As you may have seen, our French Forces faction made a huge step forward. Now in the PR Community Faction, our Team is working hard to finish in time the French army and all its equipment for our first theatre of war, West Africa.

We wanted to settle our faction in Africa as it is in reality the main conflict area for the French army, even now (Ivory Coast, Tchad, Djibouti, Gabon etc) and also because the Afghan localization was too much present...

Nonetheless, Africa means new statics and new factions. Since our faction is going really nicely, we can start to speak more freely about the ennemy we will fight. Which is the Guinean Gulf Organisation, based in West Africa.

The OGG is like the MEC, a non existent faction made of different forces all around Western African countries. Mostly old French and English colonies.

To make a long story short, one of this country, with at its head a dictator, and its allies invaded its neighbors. They are now threatening the other countries around the Guinean Gulf to become part of their OGG.

It's not in the taste of the French Government which its interests in the region are now threaten by the OGG dictatorship.
For the U.N., the official reasons for a military intervention in the area are caused by the old ethnical rivalries, crime of war and massacre who have been commited by the OGG forces and its allies.

Now, enough talking, some ideas for this OGG faction. We have to see it like some sort of poor conventionnal army. Which one is equiped with 80s, 90s and early XXIst century equipment.

A "spreadsheet" design plan should follow soon.

[torenico]

Sounds awesome!


I think some of these african countrys uses a bunch of T34/85.. that would be badass!

[charliegrs]

hmm judging from what the french forces have pulled off so far i wouldnt be surprised if they had this faction done in a week lol

[[R-COM]Hauteclocque]

Nice presentation 162. Are these drawings yours ?

hmm judging from what the french forces have pulled off so far i wouldnt be surprised if they had this faction done in a week lo

Thanks you very much, charlie, but the end is still far...

162 also proposes to use EoD models, Vietnam soldiers look like African fighters...

[162eRI]

Thanks for the support. Well, I would be glad myself if we can do such a thing like having this faction done in a week LOL
Yep, those little crappy drawings are mine LOL

For the vehicles, we need mostly retexturing:
Tank: T-62

APC: Russian APC (the one in PR) or the French VAB.

Jeep: RangeRover (British faction jeep but with less equipment on it) or old RangeRover (need new static)

Pick-Up: the one in PR retextured or not, as African armies are using civilian pick-up.

Helicopter:
Light: Gazelle
Transport: Super Frelon or Russian Mi
Attack: Russian Mi-24

Aircrafts: old Mig

[WIP] OGG Military color and OGG Ground Forces emblems.

Mig


T-55

Edit: Thanks to Kieffer, I've found the armors so much used by the Western African armies:
The ERC-90

The AML-90 (or Eland if come from South Africa > similar looking)


FF have already done the ERC-90 but with the Sagaie Turret. If we use it for the French Army, we need a new model for the African turret or to make the AML-90.
[WIP] ERC-90 Sagaie. Made by Bao.


And one should not forget the mighty Daimler armored car, I guess still in use in this part of the world.

Australia, Africa, all the same to the French. :P

[Animal.Mother]

Looks really promising!


quite excited about the french faction now, loads of new things for it.


Personally i'd like to see a FAL appear somewhere in the armoury

[single.shot (nor)]

i like they Drawing-style... really good IMO, but im no artist.

what if you make their pants OD and theyr jackets Camo, or the other way around?
i dont know if you are making new geometry, but a i believe M1 helmet variations are plentiful in the area.

[Tannhauser]

I agree with asking EoD for their geometries.
Some of their USA and SV geometries could work with a good reskin IMO. Especially because of their helmets.
