Somalia Theatre ?
-
That looks great, Eghi, thank you very much.
-
This is amazing work thank you Eghi !
-
Which city is that ?
-
Mars ;):
Ar-Rab al-Chali in Yemen:
In three months only 4 Sets ….
Cheers,
Eghi -
Looks good! Nice work.
-
I love the lower view of Yemen. I can spot individual sand drifts and vegitation in the tiles. Very realistic, Eghi.

I wanted to show texture of low-view, because high does not look too interesting (Mountains have no tiles yet):
I test farms tile ATM. Almost no visible seams, but still need to improve:
-
I need you with Aegean
-
haha nice mars well its look good Eghi well done !!
So we got Yemen and Somalia and Ethiopia nice bunch maybe we should add Dijbouti too we could have Mirage 2000 of French air force just a thought…
Do you guys know how much of the tiles is done already and could you give like a date when you guys think its all done ?
Thank you Eghi once more !
-
Hey guys how’s it going with the theatre any updates ?
-
little anecdote:
I was on the USS Winston S. Churchill during the first (less publicized) Somali pirate incident. DBM operator, actually. so when we lost radar contact (often, the boat was pretty small), the track i maintained help us reacquire. This happened repeatedly, and they would dart in and out of intl waters (12nm recognized) where we couldnt touch them. finally the last time they came out into intl waters, we slewed mount 51 off bore and fired a warning shot, and they immediately surrendered.http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=22026
would be cool to see this come to fruition some day.

This project is dead. Or not … If will be persons eager to continue. I can give base terrain, whole source (Cate, BIN file… etc). If anyone is interested PM me please.
-
Nobody interested? OK, looked at old files and I used Dem2Terrain and Cate again. Here’s what I got:
It does not look bad, but surely requires a lot of correction by hand…
Map looks like this (ATM):This is not copy of PMC Eritrea theater, just similar map coordinates
And finally, I completely forgot … I used Chuckles bmp:Thanks for that mate.
-
Nice ! Cant help but notice this is more centered on Bab el Mandeb and not Somalia, but still, this has a huge potential for various scenariis.
A Yemeni rogue state, Somalia on the rise, invasion of Djibouti, protection of civilian ships, the ideas are just flowing !
With carrier based aircraft, that would be even more awesome. Hayab, if you hear us, your Rafale would be nice in there ! Or the future 4.33 F-18, for the nephews of uncle Sam
Plus, it would be a nice campaign idea to have not “full war on” strikes/AA missions, but rather some “air police” work. Ever felt like shooting your M61A1 for warning shots in front of a pirate skiff ? That’s the place to do it ! Although an “intimidated” state of mind for targets would be hard to implement, I guess.

Yes I am still interested and wow this looks great! However i can understand if you can’t do it by yourself only.
The campaign suggestions i sent to chuckles and he sent those to you perhaps. If you can share it still or save it somewhere it would be great you have done soo much work already.
At least we have somewhere we can start from! The campaign is centered at Bab el Mandeb and this could be hot area with French Mirage 2000s, Somali Air Force and Yemeni, Ethiopian and even USN F-18s. This could be a great map!
I have lots of information and can help anyone interested in this campaign with information. -
I had a campaign scenario a while back when I was working on Somalia that I could work and be easy to implement. It would be a modern version, say circa 2010, of the North Yemeni civil war with a twist. In the campaign, Egyptian backed rebels will have occupied most of Somalia except for a sliver of the northeast horn in the Puntland Province. Free Somalia forces, using F-16s, would fly combat missions out of airbases in Bosaso. A USN carrier would be based off the Yemani coast, while USAF fighters would fly combat missions from the Yemen Mainland. Egyptian flagged forces forces would control most of Ethiopia and Somalia.
Winning conditions for Somalia/Yemen/US coalition forces would be capture of Mogadishu and the Ethiopian capital of Djibouti. Of course a massive tank battle in the middle of the Ogaden Desert would be a must. Small, Red side boats would patrol the straight and harass the dug in defenders at the horn while fighters would be tasked with search and destroy duties. Just a thought on my part

My idea for Somalia Theater was simple. Well made terrain without satellite photos, properly performed PAK files, BIN (paths, areas) and all that is necessary.
No skins, no extra cockpits, aircraft, air bases, etc … Just Korea default DB.
Simple theater but with properly working campaign - This is what I would like to see in Somalia.Ok, I give you what is done.
It’s simple terrain, about 500 tiles (enough IMHO).
I will not say this is WIP because I stopped working on it. Build theater from scratch is job for team not for one person… so I’m not crazy …Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/v2s2eqc5f22yd20/Add-On+Somalia.7z

A lot of things in my hands atm, but maye an option to work on in the future… downloading anyway.
Thanks for your work, and thanks for the link

Chuckles thanks for this haha its amazing who has become allies and foes. I remember i sent you actual battles that happened in the Horn of Africa. However This is also explosive scenario you have proposed not bad at all infact a good one!

EGHIEghi thank you very much even this work is a great start! I agree this work is more suitable for a team of developers than individual!
