Hi, guys. Can someone explain me a reason, why russians were replaced by brits at some maps? I mean, russians vs chechens - logically and real, but brits vs chechens, hmm, that's strange.

The "Chechens" have been replaced/renamed to the Militia now, to give a more broad spectrum of scenarios, like it was before .85.

Fools road was originally a Brit map but was given to russians as they had no maps iirc. Now the russians have maps and seeing how brits lost a fair few seems only fair to give it them back.
(correct if info is wrong)

imho i think that the new layout sucks. although i love our british comrades... come on, they have a lot of maps. i liked the chechen vs russia scenario. im kinda sad that archer went to the canadians... but i guess they deserve a desert map as well.

Archer was made for the Canadians, USMC was just a placeholder army until the faction was done

It was the mappers decision. Fools Road, Dragon Fly and Siege at Ocamachira are meant to be a full series of IronTaxi's "Brit v Militia" campaign.

It was just obvious the more factions we have the more the battle over the maps evolve.
But it´s fine with me as long as every faction has an equal part of the maps.

thx for explaining XD. idk, i still dont like the new layout. and as far as the ARF is goin, we're making our own maps so this really shouldn't be a problem for us. And as a mapper, i understand if the mapper wants the map to go to another faction, its just that im sad to see the entire scenario go away

Thanks for explanations.
But i must tell that Fools Road and Dragon Fly looks like a pieces of "mother Russia" , all this soviet-like antourage, buildings, nature etc, so, for me it looks strange, that brits fighting some abstract militia forces in russian environment

There used to be flavour text at the start of every map. Removing this was a little silly imo because it opens up questions like these.
The original theme was a multinational, UK led force deployed to (from memory) the black sea area (or the balklans, honestly don't remember) in order to stomp all over a militia who was supplying arms willy nilly, causing tonnes of problems and get their leader who was causing it.
Operation Dragonfly was a go!
Bring back the flavour text plox ^_^.

Just PRETEND. Well, not in England's case... But in Russia vs. Militia. They could be Chechen, Dagestani, whatever's your pleasure.
