Afghan Govt Location

[cbreedon]

Not sure if it is purposely done but if you play Afghanistan vs Mujahadeen the location comes up as Syria. I would think it should be Afghanistan. I tried 2017 and 2018 as a timeframe. OOB 26 vs OOB 22

The Mujadeen OOB is depicting Syrian factions later on.

If you dont like the default - you can go into the "view map" function and load another location.

Playing around with a couple of other scenarios. When I pick the UK or Russia to play the Mujahadeen. It takes place in Afghanistan but when I pick the Afghan govt it takes place in Syria. It seems like something is off here with the batlocs.

On the list........

Now corrected. ANA vs Muja now gives Afgan locations again

[cbreedon]

Thanks
Will everyone else be Syria against Muja? Or does it vary OOB to OOB?

[DRG]

it Varies from OOB to OOB.... ANA just got waylaid but I haven't tested "everyone else" either.........Franch Vs Muja gives west Africa, Croatia vs Muja gives Afghanistan, USA vs Muja gives Afghanistan.


This will no doubt change as events continue to evolve anyway and the game already gives you the ability to change location to wherever you want...there is a limit to how far we want to code every possible battle location anyone can think of

From the version 10 release notes:


Turkey VS Mujahadeen , battle locations (batlocs) are in Syria post 2013 and Mujahadeen uses ISIL forces. Also Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Gulf States, Saudi Arabia (generic Middle East) Israel VS Mujahadeen - generic middle east locations, v ISIL post 2013. Mujahadeen v Mujahadeen post 2011, uses Syrian batlocs, post 2013 uses ISIL troops (Syrian civil war)

But there was something wrong with afghan v muj - my error - now fixed

Also, Kenya and Nigeria versus Muj now meet in the appropriate areas for their local terrorists. France post 2013 or thereabouts meets them in West Africa.

Given what is going on now, might want to put the Russians in Syria vs Muja.

Given what is going on now, might want to put the Russians in Syria vs Muja.

Might be an idea - what start date for that would you suggest?

I know it's wiki but... September 2015 was when the airpower got involved. I assume ground troops were fairly close behind. There a picture of Russian sappers in Palmyra as of March 2016.

Russia vs Mujadeen from 11/2015 on will now give Syrian batlocs, as Russia vs Syrian rebels or other anti-Syrian groups.
