Despite the fact that the BTR-40 vehicle that was removed from service in 1993, it managed to fight in Afghanistan, my father went through this war, from his words, the meat grinder was terrible.
BTR-40 and BTR-152 fought on a par with BRDM-2, BTR-70 and 80 , as evidenced by these photos.

BTR-40 as part of the Soviet troops in Afghanistan. The presence of such equipment is not surprising in principle - the Turkestan and Central Asian military districts were considered rear areas. In addition to the BTR-40, BRDM-1, BTR-152 ,T-34-85 M and T-54/55 of early modifications fought in Afghanistan.

What do you think of creating some India-Pakistan scenarios?

If it goes well, it will probably be more than 10 missions.
I have considered the increased use of airborne troops, helicopter attacks and ambushes and will keep these in focus.PNRC.pngBZVR.png

But I think players will still get their money's worth.

In one mission, for example, you have to send out special units to find and eliminate a rebel leader.

The picture below is about the uprising in Kabul that has to be put down, of course I have dramatized this mission.

The top picture is the map of the advance on Kandahar.

Abdul Ahad Mohmand - the first and only cosmonaut of the Republic of Afghanistan, research cosmonaut of the Soyuz TM-6 spacecraft and the Mir orbital station, captain of the Afghan Air Force. Hero of the Soviet Union (1988).

I also feel like you're getting more creative with the scripts and special rules. I had an idea for a scenario where players would gradually bring in their units from an airport. My thought was to add +1 to the "core" limit each turn, but another option is to leave only one spot open for deploying the army, like you apparently did. This scenario would certainly allow player to gradually shift the balance of power. I'm looking forward to seeing how you implement it .

And as always, I'm amazed by how fast you progress. There are new units, well-designed maps, and it seems like everything is already well underway!


2025 is off to a great start for the MC mod. I don't even have time to try the others anymore. It's been ages since I search the time to test Sonja's mods



PS :

No, in France we call it "spationauts"... But it's just because we want to do different, as usual

As you can easily see, I have already worked on something similar. In the mission “3 Hoot”, the insurgency, the player may only place two ground units per turn in the south of the map, while in the north at Kabul airport he may only position one air unit, for example paratroopers if he has any, or fighter planes. This means that he does not immediately roll into the city with an avalanche of steel, but must first assemble while the insurgents have enough time to take over the police stations, for example, and dig in or entrench themselves.

The roads and the heights above them were the main thing ) Having hit the first and the last car in the column, the spirits started methodical shelling until helicopters and special forces with the VdV came to the aid of the column ))
