Hello friends, I decided that my next project will be about modern warfare, probably a short chapter (4 missions). However, as I am not very familiar with the latest scenarios, I'd like to hear your opinion: My idea was a chapter that would allow balanced and more "conventional" battles, similar to the operations of the 2nd World War, so I thought of something like a war between Yugoslavia and Albania in the 60s and 70s, for example, nothing very "high tech", therefore. So what would be the best mod? CSLA, ROK, Kosovo Sunrise (though I do not have this mod), GZM? Once I've decided about the mod and scenerio I'll need some information about the forces and units in operation, also I'll accept contributions in the design of the maps, etc..

Well, if you want some "conventional", historical, rather unexplored and somewhat new, you should focus on the Iran-Iraq war. The mod Corpbob is working on could be the best choice. You could also choice he scenario of the Far East that saw clashes between Japan and Russia during the '30s. GZM should have what you need Going out of historical scenarios you could choice what you want... I think that a war between Yugoslavia and Albania was quite unlikely in '60 and '70. In Europe the cold war balance ruled. A possible what if scenario could be an attack to Italy from Yugoslavia short after the end of WW2. But this could erupt in controversial matter.

thanks for your answer guys. Actually I'm not very concerned with the historical background, a fictional (but not sci-fi) conflict is ok. I thought about an Yugoslavia x Albania conflict because of KS mod, I really dont want make mods, just will work with one allready done. Folgore: Yes, Iran x Irak is a very interesting scenario, also is the Angola War. But I prefer to work in an European scenario because I can easily rework our great collection of maps, also I'm not a big fan of desert maps The same about far east scenarios. Well, meaby I should play a little more the modern war mods to think about this new project.

Well, if you want to create a chapter about a war in the Balkans and Yugoslavia then I would recommend basing your work on Conflict 2012 or on CSLA because it includes part of the unreleased JNA Mod.

Thinking of Europe you could have a look at the Operation Apocalypse mod. I think that kaoz will be more than glad to assist you. Another topic, but a very controversial one, is the conflict on Cyprus between Greece and Turkey. You could assume that at a certain point Turkey attacks Rhodes and some other islands there around. Mediterranean maps like Avellino made by LouisXIV will OK.

The great base for modern warfare chapter(missions) is CSLA mod. It has got great unit park. CSLA is mod with period of time to make modern warfare. BB, you can choose what you want, but i advise to take CSLA mod. It is my personal opinion.

I think the best choice is the CSLA mod, has many good Units and it has worked hard to recreate modern combat and is perfect for the European theater. You can always recreate the famous plan: in a week will reach the Rhine

BB, which units would you need? I am sure you could have a closer look to our next release which includes some new units

hm, it seems CSLA mod is winning here, LOL Well, when I return from holidays I'll check this mod, I think a Greek scenario is a good option, but I'll use the parties present in the mod.
Which are the best chapters to CSLA? I want to try it once I'm in home.

Which are the best chapters to CSLA? I want to try it once I'm in home. Hmmmmm, Greek scenario... then it depends on the decade. From the 70's (maybe the 60's) to the end of the 80's I personally think that CSLA worth it. CSLA includes all the objects, civilian units and buildings from Conflict 2012 (thanks AFG) as well as most of the ones in TDA, it also includes part of the unreleased (as I told you above) JNA, which was inteded to be a mod about the Yugoslavian Army. We decided not to release CSLA in a single chapter, that's why de mod only includes single missions (that's due to the lack of mappers too). I personally would recommend you the Turning the Tide and Fulda Gap missions, both by Joseph Porta. I you are looking for some "more traditional maps" then I would recommend Motherland's Defence (which is difficult) and Ready to Burn. It's up to you. I would like to know which conflict are you thinking about, because it may not suit to CSLA, even though CSLA supports many different kinds of post-world war II maps.

Greeks and Turks .... so they need a fleet of vehicles with the appropriate color, need infantry, needed voice. bb you can arrange a classic alternative NATO's "Eastern threat."

The sino-soviet conflict is a good idea because we have a good collection of soviet and chinese units. But I'd like to use the collection of Yugoslavian units of CSLA , without fall in a traditional NATO x Warsaw Pact scenario...
