This mod provides you with a batch of colorful, reduced-size counters, devoted to each of the nationalities present during Operation Desert Storm, 1991. Besides having a more attractive map and less confused stacks, you can also find more easily the units you're after. As a rule, the counters with rectangular national flags and brigade/division/corps devices show the ground units, while the counters with roundels concern the air units.
 
Also, I propose here a improved order of battle concerning the ground units only, that I feel closer to the actual strengths and positions of both belligerents' units at the time of the launching of Operation Desert Sabre – even if still imperfect. Active nations of the Joint Muslim Forces, that were absent in the original version, can now take their part of the job on the Allied right wing.
 
The disposition of the strategic nodes has been revised as well to include the added positions of ground troops, and also to re-enact at best the actual swift “left-hook” Allied offensive. On first move, Allied mobile units have opportunities to bypass the Iraqi first lines, and stacked units have several possible axes of attack. Through testing, it seems to work quite efficiently, with a quick collapse of the Iraqi right wing during fixing battles against the tougher, denser and deeper left wing in Kuwait.

Three skins for ThirdWire's original F-4J from SF2V, showing them as they were painted during the SEA Linebacker campaign in 1972. These are:
 
VF-31 Tomcatters
VF-92 Silverkings
VF-114 Aardvarks
 
Original real life Bu. No. from that cruise are included. The MiG Killers among them are:
 
BuNo 7249 NH206, VF-114, crew Robert Hughes and Adolph Cruz
BuNo 7245 NH201, VF-114, crew Kenneth Pettigrew and Michael McCabe
BuNo 7269 NG211, VF-92, crew Curtis Dose and James McDevitt
BuNo 7307 AC106, VF-31, crew Samuel Flynn and William John
 
These skins are heavily based on those Ravenclaw_007 did for WoV, e.g.
 
http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/8226-f-4j-vf-33-tarsiers/
 
which were again based on Sundowner's famous hi-res template, e.g.
 
http://www.column5.us/phantoms.htm
 
Thus big kudos to them!
 
I just took pieces from both, cleaned them up and made my own templates, modified them and added all bits to fit the mapping of the new meshes from SF2V. Made new decals… et voilà.
Textures are 1024*1024 size.

Iceland 02 Full-Scale Terrain v1.0
 
by Baltika
 
***********************************
 
 
Thanks to:-
 
Gepard for his terrain tutorials, which started this adventure off all those years ago. Also for his new WoE runways which are included here.
 
JSFAggie for his Highway runway Mod, which has been altered and modded for use as glacier-based FARPs.
 
Brain32 for sound advice on creating terrain tiles. Cheers mate;-) Your hi-res lava tile has not been used here, but may see the light of day if I ever manage a hi-res set for this little terrain.
 
Wrench, Dave & all the gang at CA for invaluable advice on how to make things work, garnered over the years and hopefully put to good effect here.
 
MajorLee, Deuces, Edward and anyone else who made a terrain mod and posted about how to do it. Thanks!
 
TK for making the whole bag of bolts hang together.
 
 
***********************************
 
 
Installation instructions:-
 
Unzip and drop the "ICELAND02" folder into your Saved GamesThirdwireStrikeFighters2Terrains folder.
 
If there is no terrains folder in your mod folder, create one and drop the ICELAND02 folder into it.
 
That's it! Go fly, and fight for the liberation of Iceland.
 
This terrain has been completed using SF2 June 2010 patch. It is not supported on WoX series or earlier patch levels. But, if you really must try, use the ICELAND02_DATA.INI file included in the "Use_in_WoX" folder for SF1 series. Your mileage may vary.
 
 
***********************************
 
 
This terrain features a completely new Iceland map, scaled up to full size and with a completely new tileset. All mission types are flyable for Red and Blue force. It has taken a number of years and several false starts to get to this point. Like gepard said about his Israel terrain, I feel the journey may never be finished, so if you spot any oddities or bugs, drop me a line at CombatAce and I'll try to fix it.
 
I will post targetisation updates as and when these are completed. For now, kick back, enjoy the Arctic scenery and have a blast.
 
Slainthe!

Simple mod the stock F-4E_78 to make it look like a fictional
fighter plane for the spanish air force.
 
YOU WILL NEED SF2:E AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!
 
 
BACKGROUND
The spanish air force was thinking of replacing their F-4C-Fleet
with F-4E for some considerable reasons:
 
- The lack of a gun in combat would often be a problem once all
missiles are fired or the enemy got to close to use them
- Using a gunpod under the fuselage would reduce either firepower
(due to the lack of one pylon for bombs etc.) or range (same, but
for fuel-tank)
 
Carter's administration took the F-4Cs back, converting them into
QF-4C Drones for weapon testing and delivered two entire squadrons of F-4E. The first squadron, the 121st, received their planes in 1979
displaying the SEA camo. The 122nd received their planes six
months later, in 1980, featuring the two-tone grey camo.
 
The planes received the designation "C-12C", while the "C" stands
for "cañon" - spanish for cannon, referring this way to the chin-mounted gun.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to
overwrite, click yes.
 
 
CREDITS
 
Thanks to Wrench and Dr.Doyo for the two-tone grey camo. And to
Stratos for the inspiration.
 
Big Thanks to Thirdwire for the games and the superb models they
have.
 
 
Kindest regards
