and Germany clearly does not want to go to southern Afghanistan, cause they know they will have to fight then..
i believe in PR the Germans are more than eager to get to southern A'stan..
let's see, actually i might simply change the map's name to some northern afghanistan valley. that's how i picked the name in the first place.
started mapping based on southern a'stan refs, watched ross kemp and decided, yep - that's the environment i want to do. looked up some valley there on google earth - decided lashkar sounds cool + i found some places there wich looked quite similar to my overall layout..
at some point the GF mod guys asked me if they could have the map, sure why not - the GF stuff looks promising.. plus helping the community mods to get their stuff going is a good thing.
... if we really want to go down the 'hardcore-realism' road, we'd have to make the germans do countless patrols, heavily restricted to the ROEs issued, not allowed to take out caches or cap flags..
anyways, within the fictional PR timeline in the not too far distance it actually makes sense.
GB and US forces have pulled out from afghanistan comletely since they have to face the invading chinese and middle east coalition armies wich are appearing at all european coasts, at the same time NATO forces have to make sure to establish beach heads at places like muttrah city, whilst dealing with a good bunch of insurgents and militants all over the middle east and eastern europe. the german forces are ordered to root out the taliban from southern afghanistan again since they grew stronger after US/UK troops are pulling out now to battle the mec and china..
jeez, PR is a hostile world!
