Site restructuring and rules

So the remake of the site is almost finished... It looks as if nothing's happening with the OPNEM development, but it does!
Parallell with the work on the website the rules - both the operational and the tactical - have received some attention.


Now, we can read about the upcoming NATO module which is good news indeed - it also means that I'll have to put even more effort into this project - since the ambition from the start has been to have it ready by the time the NATO module got released!


The ruleset dealing with the SVPs is close to a "beta" -release. As I mentioned in my previous blog entry there will be some more info on that section as soon as the new site is ready.

One of the things that hasn't been easy with the site restructuring have been to find a way to let the OPCOs edit the HQ webpages and present info to their teams -as they see fit. I have to admit - I haven't figured out a way to get that working just yet... Good news though is that there will be a pwd protected team HQ.


Participating BLUFOR countries
The news on the NATO module brings up the question of which countries will be represented in the blue ORBAT.
As of now I'm planning on including US (army, navy, af,usmc, sf), UK (army,navy,af, sf), Germany (army,af), Canada (army,af), Netherlands (army, navy?, af), Denmark - using NL units to simulate (army,af), Italy (af), Spain (af), Australia (af, sf) - using US infantry to simulate AU special forces.


Other countries that might find their way into the ORBAT are; NZ (using Canadian LAV?), Poland (using syr sf?) and Bulgaria (using syr sf and mech units? - the picture shows a Bulgarian para)
These countries would participate with small contingents of course, but it would be interesting to have them included in the blue ORBAT - some of them use a mix of red and blue equipment
, which would offer some challenging "red vs red" scenarios...
