Thank you.
I've been hoping for a norwegian faction from the very day i started playing PR.
Though, I'm wondering what you guys actually have in mind?
Because I really hope you will be focusing on the ISAF led Telemarkbataljonen or HJK/FSK vs. Taliban (hopefully insurgency gamemode), in the Meymaneh province or northern Afhanistan in general. Having CAS armed F16s on stand-by, AG3s, Bell 412 helicopters and so on?
Can someone post the mod plan?
I'd really like to be a part of this btw

Well, Rangu, what can you contribute with? We are going for an ISAF/Insurgency-type of mod, at least for the moment.
Basically, the full plan isn't finished yet. I need to have a chat with halvor about what sort of equipment the different kits should have. I'm thinking we should go unconventional with this, not just Rifleman with and without optics, but most classes with Aimpoints, as they're standard-issue in A-stan, and so on. Then I'll get it uploaded.

dont just do insurgency please insurgency is the swarm of vanilla noobs, sad to say it but its not many times I play insurgency its just no fun with us/gb team sitting in there main waiting for tanks choppers to spawn. Also insurgents runinng around like rambo. Also many factions is insurgent based PR dosent have to be a mirror of todays wars we are talking about PR future so can we get for example mec maybe russia in a norway/russia border map not really many buildings up there so it wouldnt be to hard finding statics for some bases.

We will have more than just Insurgency maps. There might be coming another thing in the next release who knows?
Rungu we need maps so if you could post some of your mapping skills onto a thread so we could see what you are good for. By the way we really need experienced mappers we have almost everything else except lack of mappers!

Im mapping myself but i have enough stuff to do for the germans, but i suggest you ask some guys who have maps in work in the community modding forums (several unassigned WIP maps)

I've merged all threads regarding a Norwegian faction into this thread, so please keep this discussion going but try to keep it in this thread. Hopefully we can create a seperate forum for this community faction once it makes enough progress. Although I've not heard of Norwegian Military playing a big part in major conflicts, we do have alot of players from this country so I think its as valid community faction as any. Keep it up

Hugh *** stop this nonsense the reason for a community mod is beacause of the community is working together with each other.They want to contribute for the main mod. Tune up for more updates later on!
By the way the norwegians has made a role in Afganisthan and has also been contributing with special forces!

But why, should it have troops deployed in current conflicts for it to be worth the effort? They could just go with the idea of a fictional Russian incursion or the like (despite the huge improbability of it happening). You would need more statics but it would add a huge amount to the mod, opening a completely new theater of war and such.

Funny thing is that the Norwegian military is larger than both the Canadian and Australian militaries. I think it's all fair game.

Actually, some snow would suffice. Don't need much statics for the northern borders.
And i agree, it would make a much more interesting scenario. If the rest of the west is to fight the Russians in PR, a russian invasion of Scandinavia dont seem that unlikely at all.
