Sorry for the slightly unspecific thread title but I don't want to get slanted for what it is. It is not a "I want" so I try to get issue it is quite an obvious thing that is missing.
It may be intentional, the devs might be aware of it or maybe there is something in the works but who knows?
What is it?
Militia fighting in an urban setting.
It might be much harder for the Militia to fight in an urban scenario (not as much concealment to hide from AIR, less escape routes, civillian population - reprisals and anti militia movements...and so on) but maybe this could be compensated for (giving them more mobility/firepower, time to prepare for attack, natural defenses, man-made defenses, more arty - or less or none for convetional army in fear of killing civil population).
It has been done though.
Grozny would probably be the most famous example. Hell, give the conventional army tonnes of tanks and just arm the militia with additional AT equipment - Kornet, AT4, RPG 29, More RPG7 and so on
I'm also thinking of some fighting in the balkans as well.
Just planting a seed until I see a DEV statement on the issue.

it would be really awesome to see the milita duking it out in a eastern european/caucasus region city map. maybe the russian community mod already has this in the works?

also there arn't many town buildings in PR that match in with the setting where the militia are based.

To be honest, I would rather see more forest maps for Militia then a urban one.

'[R-DEV wrote:IronTaxi']Hey there eveyone.. so the idea here is that I am building a three map series that are all connected geographically.
[...]
The last map in the series will be the middle map.. it will be called "Dragon Fly" and is shaping up to be one hell of an urban combat map.. Im gonna let you guys hang on that map for a while as its still have a way to go...

That is good then. I can't wait to see it. I had a look in the suggested suggestions thread and didn't see anything and checked out the dev journal to no avail. Search should be my friend.

I love the forest maps. They are my favourites. I don't like city or desert maps so much, because the battle becomes to much of a static warfare. But to each his own.

The next person to confuse Balkans with Caucasus is getting stabbed over the Internet.
In all honesty both regions have not been involved in a military conflict for a while, stop living in the 1990s.
