This map is based on Bamyan Province, Afghanistan. This is the New Zealand Defense Forces (NZDF) province. A BLUFOR will be used until the NZDF faction is in Project Reality. You can see the NZDF Faction progress here.
The situation (background story) is that the BLUFOR start at Kiwibase in the North-East and have to either Hunt for caches or establish FB's (game mode dependent) whilst also holding on to their FOB situated a little south of Bamyan Town. Taliban forces will have to set up ambushes on the trails and treacherous roads while also assaulting the FOB to keep BLUFOR at bay.

Name: Bamyan Province
Size: 2km
Region: Afghanistan
Factions: BLUFOR (Placeholder for NZDF) vs Taliban
Focus: Small arms and light vehicle skirmishes.
Minimap as of 18/03/2010
Images:
The blue lines are combat area. Map should be around 2km x 2km. Am considering expanding the original plan to make it a 4km.
Not familiar with Afghanistan or the province personally but i believe kiwibase to be in the top corner (marked by red 1) If any one knows the actual location (if im wrng) then please tell me
Red 2-4 are possible Taliban strongholds.
MORE IMAGES CAN BE FOUND HERE IN THE HIGHLIGHT
General:
This map would be like Operation Archer in the north (terrain wise) and then more like Korengal in the south. I think this would be a great combination allowing for different types of fighting depending on where the player is.
A FOB and an ANPF police station will be placed into the map. They may/may not start off under BLUFOR control. depending on game-mode and final placement i may have the Taliban hold the ANPF police station and the BLUFOR controling a capturable FOB. Still at very beginning stages tho. The famous bombed budha's would be just outside of the combat area to the north of Kiwibase.
BLUFOR mobility will be far superior to that of the taliban. However, this comes at a price because the Heli require a skilled pilot to land in some of the tight spots if they want to stay safe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSURGENCY:
The map would follow an alternative layout.The type of gameplay i am going for with this would be sporadic ground fighting in the clusters of houses whilst searching for the caches. Very little fighting will take place near Kiwibase, BLUFOR will hav to go out and "find" the Taliban. I wish to use the cache system that Dr Rank is putting into Sangin to try and slow down the BLUFOR (due to small map size if more than 1 cache is available Taliban will be too disadvantaged by being out manuevred).

COMMAND AND CONTROL:
Again the map would be alternative layout. This game mode would be far more realistic seeing as the "fight" in Bamyan isn't about exterminating the enemy but rather about maintaing a presence in the area. This would allow for heavy fighting over small areas of territory. To spice up the game a little bit there will be "defender friendly" terrain in quite a few places. BLUFOR will still maintain their high mobility except this time ALL their vehicles will be on spawn timers at the beginning to let the taliban gain a foothold in the main town. BLUFOR will hold the FOB and so this will allow them to mount attacks from a closer position than Kiwibase. For this mode i would like to incorporate a Chinook (to encourage resupply of cut off FB's) even though the NZDF don't have any chinooks they frequent the base and FOB's in Bamyan. If possible i would prefer to use an NH90 though.
