Hello!

This is my first project for SRCW, with some experience from making mods for SR2020(some may know my previous mods) , hope you'll enjoy this mod as well .

Intro
This mod starts on 31th December 1991, The Soviet Union has collapsed, there is allot of tension in the air around the world. As Europe is armed to the teeth and much of the world still having large conscript armies combined with the tensions that erupted during the late 80's and early 90's, there may be some interesting game play ahead. The mod introduces 'true' frontal warfare and large infantry battles . There's also a scenario where all hell brakes lose into a WWIII .

--->Hullu's Recommended System Requirements<---
- Processor: Quad Core or greater(will work with dual core, but it might be laggy)
otherwise the same as before

Reason: mod contains huge armies, this in turn puts extra stress on the processor.
Why huge armies? Because this period was a period where nations where armed to the teeth with all kinds of stuff and had HUGE reserves.

Regarding aircraft carriers, the USA today has 11 supercarriers, for your information. They also have a large number of ships designated as amphibious assault ships which can launch both aircraft and large numbers of helicopters, not to mention cruise missiles and ground troops including heavy weapons, of which they probably had even more in 1992, but not sure of that.

Well done on the mod, I especially loved your focus on rebel groups across the world, hoping you will work more on those. It does seem some of the civil wars are flawed and some OOBs need some work. Many african nations that had an air force seem to lack any, Azawad seems to be unable to resist two measly Malian Concript II units. The Somalian Civil War seems to work out well though, at least if the government is run by the player. But you might want to work a bit more on balancing resources. Industrial goods and military goods seem to be on an extremely short supply.

Yup, there are issues, and for this version I decided to use a new .wmdata(a bunch of economic related stuff), I actually had had Afganistan pieced into 7 factions, though I ran out of regions(hit the max allowed by the engine) . I will be figuring ways to fix the issues with the rebels. Appryciate your feedback

Do PM me if you ever want me to look for OOB:s (or really any stats for some nations). I will do my best to find them, but I can't help you implementing them in the mod.

Yup, I have been reading and researching for this mod my self, the OOBs are based on The Military Balance 1992-1993 and much economic data are from indexmundi, nationmaster and other sites.
