The campaign covers the Syrian campaign up to end of year 2017.

I confirm that Scenario 08 has bug that I have fixed for 1.7.
But I am surprised about the rest of your findings, I never got any issues in those scenarios (neither Estherr or McGuba).
I will double check just in case.

Combat use

The UR-77 has an extensive track record: from the fighting in Afghanistan to the current events in Syria; from Africa and again to the Middle East.

"As the practice of combat use has shown, such a charge can make passages in engineering barriers of a non-mine nature. UR-77 can be used against anti-tank hedgehogs and gouges. The machine is effective in the fight against barricades and rubble, which are characteristic of fighting in urban conditions, as demonstrated by the fighting in Syria," the military expert said.

A new video has appeared on the Internet of the use by the Syrian army in Eastern Ghouta of the UR-77 "Meteorite" rocket launcher, also known as "Serpent Gorynych".
The video shows the advance of equipment to positions, the launch of rockets with an explosive cord, a powerful explosion and captured positions of militants.
The explanation to the video says that the UR-77 was used to destroy fortified positions and tunnels of militants near Ar-Reyhan. Government forces managed to capture strategically important objects in this settlement and on its outskirts, including a mosque.
It is also reported that defensive fortifications and tunnels were thoroughly prepared here. Probably, that is why the "Serpent Gorynych" was launched.
Created on the basis of the self-propelled howitzer 2S1 "Carnation" UR-77 can make wide passages in anti-tank minefields due to a powerful blast wave. The charges are placed in a long cord, which is pulled by a rocket launched by a minefield installation. However, in Syria, the "Gorynych Snake" is successfully used to destroy terrorist fortifications.


In Syria, government forces began to use "strange Soviet weapons" against gang groups.

An article on this subject was published the day before by the Chinese edition of Sohu. The author clarifies that by it he means the UR-77 "Meteorite" complexes that destroy dozens of militants, although officially they are designed to create passages in minefields, and not for use against enemy manpower. In particular, a case is described when bandits sat down in a destroyed building and, despite all the persuasions, did not want to leave there, blocking the further advance of military units. Then a "Meteorite" was brought to the house and only one shot was fired. The militants were immediately finished.

Technically speaking , I didn 't manage to clear all the mines ) Russian sappers appeared to me on the 16th move and then they can't immediately destroy hex with mines at once (And what did you mine to meet the Decisive Victory!? And in general, what kind of Syrian weapons can quickly destroy minefields ?

Yup, this issue has also been fixed for the upcoming update.

PS: Pretty interesting article about the UR-77

PMCs are needed where the regular army cannot be used. In addition, PMCs are much cheaper

Nice playthrough.
I agree with you, the campaign can be played with numerous different core units compositions. I see you focused on tanks
For 1.7 I made the high tier tanks hard to get, more expensive and different availability dates. It doesn't sound too realistic to see the Syrian army rolling the battlefield with only T-72B3 or T-90s.
Also, I balanced some too-easy and too-hard missions to be more "friendly-user".

Best regards,

Stingers are already in Syria

A Soviet T-72 tank destroyed a T-90 tank captured by militants in Syria. Unique frames

Today, we will tell you about an archetypal case that is associated with either one T-90 tank, or two tanks. And according to some sources, these were T-90A tanks. In general, the seizure of Russian tanks from the Syrian government forces occurs quite often, and just recently the T-90A tank was taken again, this time it was received by pro-Turkish forces.


The captured T-90 tank was eventually used in the battles of March 2017 in the province of Hama, in which the tank turned out to be in place, and even acted successfully. But, everything comes to an end, and that's the end for the captured T-90 tank came when he engaged in battle with the T-72 tank of the Syrian government forces in September of the same year. There was a rather rare tank duel, and in it a sub-caliber shell of a tank from the Soviet era hit the left side and there was an explosion of ammunition, as a result of which an explosion occurred.

It must be said, however, that the battle was in some sense unequal for the T-90, because it lost its dynamic protection back in March.

Could you describe it again please?, I am struggling to find the post amongst all these huge pictures

Автор что на счет гексов пустыни ? Вы будете их исправлять ? ( на холмах и горах юниты пополняются полностью и без штрафов ) Что немного нелогично ( в горы труднее боезапас и провизию доставлять ) так как на просторах техника пополняется в половину своего запаса )))

Author what about desert hexes ? Will you fix them ? ( on hills and mountains , units are replenished completely and without penalties ) Which is a bit illogical ( it is more difficult to deliver ammunition and provisions to the mountains ) since in the open spaces the equipment is replenished in half of its stock)))

Oh yes, I has been fixed. Now hills are not usable anymore for an "easy resupply" in the middle of the desert

Actually I was thinking of removing this scenario. After the release of the Syrian campaign, that scenario doesn't make any sense anymore.
Maybe I will create a completely fictional map (geographically) so the player enjoy a proper USA vs Russia match.

Losses of military aviation of the Russian Federation during the operation in Syria

Something similar happened in Africa Corps on the map of Syria "Capture all the objects and at least 3 paratroopers must survive, escort the liaison officer to the airfield of Haifa. "
