Installations and Facilities on the OPMAP

On the OPMAP there are several different facilities that influences campaign play. The military installations on the OPMAP are Air bases, Army Bases and Fortified Areas. Other installations that influence game play are ports and bridges.

Air Bases are military installation with one or several airstrips capable of supporting fixed wing air units as well as rotary wing air units. An Air base has a maximum number of air unit TOEPs that may be based at that hex. This limitation only goes for air units – ground units follow the same rule for stacking as in other hexes.

An air base may be totally or partially destroy as a result of Combat Actions. Any damage to the installation will decrease the maximum number of TOEPs that can be based.





In the screenshot above can be seen several Air Bases/Air Fields, Army Bases and a SSM Base. Right clicking on the icon of an installation will bring up a factsheet in the lower rigth corner of the CaT. In this case we can see the factsheet for Afis helidrome outside Idlib. The factsheet displays the properties of the installation; how many TOEPs it can serve/accomodate and what effects on OPLEVEL the installation has.

Army bases are military installations that offer storage facilities, very often ordnance and weapons are stored at the army bases, which will affect the supply levels and available weaponry of nearby units. An Army base may work as training facility to raise reserve or militia units for REDFOR. An Army Base may also serve as a base for up to 30 TOEPs of rotary wing air units.





Some, but not all, of the installations also render SVPs when controlled at the end of the campaign. SVP locations on the OPMAP are marked by a triangle at the bottom of the SVP hex - in the case above all SVP locations are currently controlled by the NBM/REDFOR. The factsheet will display any SVPs associated with the installation. As you can see in this screen, control of Damascus International Airport will render 95 SVPs at the end of the camapaign.

Finally, some screens of custom made mods for OPNEM; Polish desert camou (there will be a Polish BG) and Hezbollah fighters.
