Seconded. Along with my own hope that the Swedish bases in Scania are snuck in as well.

Attacking through Fulda made sense, I guess, because it's the closest point to the Rhine. Getting there would have cut the FRG in two. As others have pointed out there is much better tank country in the north, so surely an attack would have been launched there too. Plus, probably, another attack through neutral Austria to get at Bavaria. Jim Storr's book Battlegroup! is very interesting when it comes to what might have been.

Don't forget that Finland also flew Draken, so plenty of scope for them to see use on Kola. Personally I'd be happy to see the AI only version first. Of course, a flyable version would be an insta buy for me. In other words, bump.

Added v 0.5 to the first post. This has had the ships removed (they were very bad for my fps!), and the Soviet SA-2 and SA-3 batteries added, as well as the Finnish EW radars and the Swedish gun forts of the Kallix line (these are in the rough area where they were historically, but the exact locations are not even close to accurate. There also aren't suitable units available, so I've used the German gun bunker from Normandy). Most airports now have static planes present as well to represent the units stationed there. Still missing a few helicopter bases fro the USSR, as well as, annoyingly, the bases fro the SU-27 and SU-15 interceptors.

This is great! Thank you for taking the time to post!

To go back on topic; now that we have the Kola map, any news at all on the Draken would be much appreciated!

Hi talented people. As someone with 0 skinning talent, I'm here to beg anyone with time and talent to create these on a mig 15: Thank you!!

Finland's air defense seems to have been mate up of ZU-23 and SA-7 MANPADS attached to army units in our area. The country purchased SA-2 systems in the 70s, which were designated ITO-79. As far as I can tell, they were all deployed down south. Does anyone know anything about Finnish EWR? I have two locations up north, but no details.

Added the Swedish EW radars to the mission files, along with a few Swedish unit HQs. The file now also has most of the Soviet Navy surface combat vessels available in game placed on the map, together with all Soviet and Swedish EW radars. The Swedish EW radars and some ships use mods. The Swedish deployment is so heavily dependent on mobilization that I find it almost impossible to mark anything worthwhile on the map. The HQ and barracks locations marked should cover most units present in theater though. For details on units I used Wiki pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Norrland_Military_District. I found this to make more sense than the good old NATO OOB 1989 file that's been floating around for ages, at least when it comes to Sweden. It was a very pleasant surprise, though, to find that the barracks in Kiruna are modeled exactly where they should be, and more or less matching the buildings visible on google maps! Most Swedish AA seems to have been 40mm AAA or MANPADS (RBS-70) at this point. Sweden had some I-HAWK, but as far as I can tell, none of those were located this far north.

Apart from the 24th missile regiment those should all be marked on the map in the mission file. I haven't listed them here.

Long press 'A'.

Fantastic stuff! Thank you! Been reading up on stril60 (https://www.fht.nu/Dokument/Flygvapnet/flyg_publ_dok_stril_60_v_2.pdf for any who are interested and can read Swedish) and scratching my head as to how to implement it into DCS. First impressions is to use Skynet functions. Never used it before, but from a quick read it seems possible to set up something similar. Much fun to be had tinkering!

Working on more detail for the Red Fleet. We are missing a lot of ships! Osa I and II, and Sovremenny classes I have found as mods. Kanin Class destroyers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanin-class_destroyer Kirov Class cruisers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirov-class_battlecruiser Kresta II Class cruisers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kresta_II-class_cruiser Udaloy Class destroyers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udaloy-class_destroyer Kiev Class carrier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev-class_aircraft_carrier Kashin Class destroyers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashin-class_destroyer Kresta I Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kresta_I-class_cruiser Kresta II Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kresta_II-class_cruiser Slava Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slava-class_cruiser (To be picky) Krivak I Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krivak-class_frigate (To be picky) Grisha II Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grisha-class_corvette Nanuchka I-V Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanuchka-class_corvette Yurka Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurka-class_minesweeper Riga Class (Also used by Finland!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riga-class_frigate Poti Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poti-class_corvette Sonya Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonya-class_minesweeper Natya Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natya-class_minesweeper T43 Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T43-class_minesweeper Sverdlov Class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverdlov-class_cruiser Plus bunches of landing craft of various sizes. Might update with those when I have more time and energy!

Looking for information on Swedish radar. This site has useful lists of sites: https://www.bergrum.se/sverige/militart/flygvapnet/radar/ps65.php The problem is that most are not listed with an exact location. There is a book: https://www.flygbas.se/bernt-thornell/kalla-krigets-luftforsvar that might have more info. I'm not able to have it delivered to where I live, so it'll have to wait. Does anyone happen to have a copy? If so, can you find the locations of the radar sites that are on our map?

Updated first post with new .miz file. I've added the Norwegian army and EWR sites.
