UK Army Mod, 
For use with Steel Panthers: MBT V3.01

Why?:
At first I didn't agree with SP cammo's interpretation of the UK infanry's organisation. then I got used to creating more units. So once I had done all this, it had changed the OOB drasticly.
Basis for my reserch is my own limited personal experince of the UK army, Conversations with Veterans or serving soldiers, and infomation taken from the web.

Yes I've spent some time on this (about 5 months), I hope you think it's worth it.

To use:

Place the OOB07.OBF file inside the main SPMBT Directory, this will over write the current File. I would urge you to back up the orignal, incase you wish to play a senario desgined for the existing OOB, Or if you don't agree with my changes.
Place the Icon0090.shp file in the SHP folder, again this will be overwriting a file, but shouldn't be changeing anything in the file. For saftey I would prompt you to back up.

Changes:
New Units:
Sheilder (Armourd Mine Laying Vehicle)
Euromux (Radio Van, really used for senarios)
Triffid (Same as Euromux)

New Icons for esisitng units:
Panther FCLV
FMRAV
ATMP
WAH-64 (and a new Standard weapons load out)
I've also assinged the correct Desert Icons to most vehicles already exsisting in the OOB.

Infantry:
Here's where I've made the most of the changes.
The bigest change is the introdruction of the Combat Arms SA80, In the UK army there are two SA80's, one with iron sights, this is the exsisting SPMBT weapon. The Combat arms version has a SUSAT sight on it and is ratted accurate out to 800 meters. So I've increased the Weapon Range and the accuracy.

I've Downgraded the Pioneer's to their correct level, and included a new Unit the Royal Engnieers.

New Infantry platoon organisation (Comand section, 3x Rifle section and support section) I've also lowed the amount of LAW weapons in the squad, and increased the number of LSW/SAW.

Comando 21,  between 2000 and 2003 the Royal marine comandos have been resturctured in a program called Comando 21. The "Close contact Troop's" are the equivlent of platoons. 

Note on heavy wepaons: due to an insuficent number of unit slots in each formation I've had to double up some HMG's and Some ATGM's. So look carefully at carry cost.

FIST (Future Infantry Soldiers Technolgy)
A program due to ocme into service in 2015-2020. Equping the UK soldier with a Thermal/daylight gun sight that can be routed to a helmet mounted screen, Comunications and data links provivded by BOWMAN, New NBC gear and Invisablity to Thermal Vision, IR Veiwing devices And GSR. (Size 0, Vision 40, Fire control 5 and Range finder 14)

Other changes:

I've played around with the weight and carry values of some units to make them Airmobile, as they should be.

After combat reports from Iraq shows the Warrior to be almost invunrable to RPG rounds if hit in some area's. In response to this I've increased the HEAT armour value of the Warrior on those locations.

BGTI (Battle group thermal imageing) A program to upgrade warrior and CVR(T) Scimitar to TI. So the service life of the Scimitar has been increased and has been given TI.

New weapons:
(CA) SA80 (Combat arms SA80)

"Bunker Buster" (A LAW style weapon desgined to destroy bunkers and clear buildings. Currently in development. It's either a Multicharge warhead with the first one pentrating the bunker or building and the second one being a fragmentation round. Or a Fuel air explosive.)

HEFG (High-Explosive Fragmentation Greande, another LAW style weapon, in development as part as the FIST program)

UGL (Under-slung Grenade Launcher. A weapon like the M203. attatched to the bottom of a SA80.)
