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
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!

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

Cheers,
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!

When I get further along (completed) with my many present projects, I am going to return to Somalia. I’ll needs lots of help though and the timing will be in 3 to 4 Falcon weeks.

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.
