Somalia Theatre ?
-
Also, I need to add. If somebody can give instructions how to create a brand new save0.cam file from the existing tac files, please post an answer here or pm me. If I had a blank Save0.cam files with all of the objectives included, I could add units and change the ownership of the existing units and create a very rudimentary campaign.
A.S is you man. For creating a really functional camapaign you have to do many things. A.S worked months on Korean theater.

I mated into Somalia the art files that Revientor and I put together a while back. As you can see, it is making Somalia look a lot better.
I will post a link later in the week with an updated download link. It will contain all of the art files inside of Eghi’s original download. TE builder and campaigns do not work. If you want fly and see Eghi’s amazing scratch built terrain, you will need to use the instant action icon.

I remember these yes chuckles! These are the ones i am talking about…Only the pictures need a bit of an overhaul but other than that its all cool! Thanks for keeping it safe somewhere…

Thanks to a very informative TeamSpeak lesson with Demer928, Somalia now has Campaign files.
The airbase locations need some adjustments. Once the navigation information is corrected to match the real world, I will add units and create rudimentary campaign.

In the screenshot I see that you have an old TE map? -

Use UIResTool, or Monster’s- F4 Res Manager. Just, put your work in the last release: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?11207-Somalia-Theatre&p=294148&viewfull=1#post294148
But it doesn’t matter, this map (big_map_id) is rubbish. They have to be done from scratch. -
Thanks for pointing me toward the right direction Eghi. I have interlaced the new big map into my work.
You are right Eghi, the UI map isn’t the greatest but it will do for now. Perhaps at a later date, i will try to recruit some help and get a new map made. A section chart type, like the kind found in Panama would be nice.

just wanted give folks an update. Thanks to a lot of tutoring from Demer928, the middle scenerio is quickly shaping up. I plan on making it modern scenerio, similar to Korea 2012, where President Vladimir Putin makes a bold attack on western Somalia in an effort to control the shipping lanes into the Red Sea. Winning conditions for Nato will be control of Cerrigaboabo and Burco. Russian conditions for win will be control of strategic port cities of Djibouti Captial and Ased. Here is a screenshot of the new select screen.

Cant see the russians wanting to try to hold Somalia…
-
Somalia Shores are in the middle of the shipping routes between Europe and far East. It’s a strategic position. It’s not totally unrealistic. I’ve seen worse theaters.
-
Not so much about the position as it is about having to hokd it against the somalians… makes little sense in the current political climate as well, but it just seems like russia taking somalia would work almost as well as the US taking Afghanistan.
-
I agree this scenario it is not very likely to happen in real life. Personally, I would like to see something based on Somali Civil War. Two factions: north and south. North supported by Yemeni rebels. South supported by Ethiopian troops plus USAF and maybe FAF operating from Djibouti. With both sides using a Russian-designed equipment and limited AWACS cover it could be quite fun and challenge to fly.
-
I wanted to show folks that despite a long holiday, Somalia is not dead. Infact the campaign is quite alive:
As you can see, in my Save0.cam file I was able to achieve victory in the 2D world. One major hurdle in beta testing has been jumped over.

that map has east at the top and west at the bottom correct?

Yes, the map is a 64 Segment of Somalia’s Northern Horn, Yemen, Ethiopia and Djibouti. The theatre isn’t so much Somalia as the Northern Horn of Africa.
