Assets:
Insurgents:
2 x Supply truck
6 x Technical (MG)
1 x BDRM

Rebels:
2 x supply truck
4 x Technical (MG)
1 x Technical (SPG)

Situation: A insurgency in Egypt has been stopped by Egyptian military forces, forcing the surviving insurgents to flee the country. The Egyptian army cut off their route into the Middle East where their allies awaited them, forcing them to move East into ARF-controlled Libya. Unable to negotiate sanctuary in Libya, the Insurgents have been fighting the ARF and are loosing every battle against a enemy that outnumbers them. The surviving insurgents have rallied to take a small port in the area called the Dead Coast where a cargo ship will arrive to take them to the middle east.

Screen Shots: Here are some screen shots of the control points and key fighting areas.

Note: I do plan to complete the Operation Lockdown map. I did this while the DEM downloading was not working.

Give insurgents T-62? Maybe they captured some from Egyptian Army.

There are going to be trees and cover in those massive open fields right?

A Highly improbable and needlessly elaborate backgroundstory. I mean, aren't there enough rebels and insurgents in Libya already without bringing in Egyptian insurgents fleeing from Egyptian security forces through Libya to get passage to 'the middle east'? Though I like the idea of warlord-type conflict, a sort of conventional-unconventional conflict between low-tech factions.

But why ARF?

The only t-62's the Egyptians still have are in museums (they use american and locally made vehicles nowadays), though I don't doubt that in a civil war kind of scenario those would find easy reinstatement, just like ww2-era shermans standing in museums in Lebanon were reused in the civil war there.

You can't see it but the terrain is quite bumpy with lots of mini hills for cover. I was modelling a bone dry area, so I have about 20m^2 of grass for the whole map and no trees.

But why ARF?

I wanted for the sides to look pretty distinct and the ARF versus Insurgents conflict appealed to me. I didn't think that the story was that elaborate. Perhaps it was more like something that you would read in a novel than something that you would see in news headlines.

As for the BDRM, I wanted to give the insurgents something better that a technical that was pretty fast but not too heavily armored. The map sees them having to make a rush for their first two control points and I wanted to give them a edge in terms of firepower. The ARF are already entrenched in the dock and city so I needed for the insurgents to be able to keep them at bay until they got a foothold.

I don't think those factions will work, can't have opfor vs opfor(militia,taliban,insurgents,fsa,hamas,arf) Unless it got fixed with 1.3?

[O.Ortega]

As far as I know there is no restrictions on what factions can fight what factions. To get two factions to fight all you have to do is place them as team one and team two in the map files.

Any updates on the map or maybe its released....
