Afghan Wars: 1988-2003
Soviet war in Afghanistan (1979–1989) – Soviet's Vietnam
Afghan Civil War (1989–1992) – Government collapse
Afghan Civil War (1992–1996) – Anarchy
Afghan Civil War (1996–2001) – Taliban period
War in Afghanistan (2001–present) – ISAF/NATO involvement ​

Full-function scenario of the wars in Afghanistan 1988 - 2003 with other possible outcomes to certain events. Also included is the Vietnam War 6 scenario (vietnam was updated with cold war units) and an ahistorical Indian War involving India, Burma, North Vietnam, Thailand, Afghanistan and Pakistan to showcase the 2 modified counties (Fun Scenario!). A total of 3 scenarios packaged together with a new map!

Start out in 1988 and proceed though the Soviet withdrawl from Afghanistan, PDPA collapse, tribal warloards anarchy, Taliban period events and September 11th attacks to past the 2003 USA invation of Iraq. Includes all 3 Iraq wars, conflicts in Chechnya, Kurdistan, Somalia, Kashmir and Yemen. Economic markets are enhanced.

Playable countries: Afghanistan, USSR, PDPA, USA, UK, Saudi Arabia, Pashtun mujahiddin, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Hezbe, Jamiet and Al Qaeda. NATO troops are represented.

Also included are Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia, China, India, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Yemen, Oman, Kawait, Kashmir, Kurdistan, Somalia and Sudan.

The PDPA (Peoples Democratic Party of Afghan) later becomes the Northern Alliance and the Pashtun mujahiddin later becomes the Taliban in 1994. This way, you can play the whole scenario as one of these countries.

Major map files change: A total of 60 textured new territories added. The Caspian Sea is now navagatable with ports in Iran and the Soviet Union.

25 New Units: Cold-war and post cold-war units including infantry, marine, mountain, HQ, militia, garrison, tanks, aircraft, gunships, subs, drones, missiles, advanced transports and sea mines.

Also 25 units included from the Vietnam Sceanario: Green Beret, AH-1 Cobra, Advanced Supersonic Fighter, Nuclear Sub, M41 Light-Tank, Titan ICBM, ABM, Paladin, Missile Launcher, Attack Helicopters, Advanced Air Cavalry. A grand total of 50 new units!

Technolgies: stealth, night vision, super semiconductors and computers, modern land doctrine, satellites and lazer. Basic tech tree perfect for post WW2 scenarios.

Brigades: modern artillery, elite engineers, M42 Duster, M113, rocket launcher, escort fighters and land mines.

Optional Sprites: M-41 complete sprite, Helicopter movement sprite and other basic 'stand' sprites for Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam and USA. (Helicopter cavalry sprite not appropriate for WW2)

Optional Music: 85 MB, Awesome optional sound track from the Vietnam era ...rated PG! :eek:

There are changes or additions to some config, db, minister, leader and tech files. New graphics were added for new units, ministers, leaders and events. A few counters, flags and shields were added. New AI files for all countries involved were added. Mountain and jungle warfare is enhanced. Best played with agressive AI settings.

Made vanilla friendly for Armageddon v1.1 but will work for all with the correct patch. Unzip files to Armaggedon or Doomsday top-level directory. Use DD_patch for Doomsday (No patch needed for Armageddon). Lastly, apply the no_time limit patch. Thanks to Jamie for his Map Maker, Digoo for his TNW ideas and BeBro, Hilsdorf and Strits1945 for their contributions!

Requirements: see install instructions here Not compatable with previous VN versions or HOI2.
Vietnam6.zip is required, 26MB. Version 6.3 is the latest.
VN6MAP.zip is required, 34 MB (60 additional provinces). Version 6.0 is the latest.

Download here: all files in .zip format, scanned for viruses. Enjoy!: :rolleyes:

Full download, 1 zip with main files, map and sprites (soundtrack optional and will still need a NTL patch).

It is that way by design just to showcase the 2 modified countries Vietnam and Afghanistan. But if India doesn't go early, since they have twice the ic, they could overtake everyone eventually. However, it has been improved some in version 1.1, I even won as Maylasia.

At some point, MP costs for new divisions and reinforcing are skyrocketing.
And there's a lot of time where practically nothing happens.

But it's a great mod, the new map is awesome.
 
Version Update: Vietnam 6 with Afghan 1.1

Updated Vietnam 6 with Afghan Wars 1.1 from suggestions and minor fixes:

1. Indian Scenario
2. Chechnya revolt
3. elite tank
4. drone and missile units
4. a few missing graphics
5. a few model adjustments
6. North can now annex vietcong.
7. more manpower, spys and revolt risk
8. more structured land doctine items researched
9. Kurdish revolt
10. manpower costs

Depending on what country you control, it may seem not much is going on as far as events, but with 30 or so countires over a 15 year period all details of every country will not be included. For now, in this early version, only major events in recent history will be the scenario's guideline.

Right now, there is always something going on with some country that affects others while they try to impove their country, economy and build armies. The main purpose of this scenario is to show, and be involved in, the war history in and around Afghanistan during this time period and maybe destroy OBL if you are in opposition and keep a close eye on Iran and Pakistan in the future.

Thanks for all the suggestions, they and donations are always welcome!

Next you should do a new cuba map that includes the Cuban Revolution, Bay of Pigs and the Missile Crisis. Iam sure playing a freedom fighting Che or Fidel would be better then Bin Laden or those second-rate guerillas! I love your Nam but frankly I think even the being the FARC or Hezbollah would be better then playing in Afghistan. But still your Afghistan is some of the best fun Ive had playing a slighty modded HOI2 game in a while.

Yugoslavia during World war 2 would also be fun.
 
Great mod, some little things I came across though:

1. Maybe it's just the fact it's an early version, but there are many forced events that take some fun out of the mod, like when you play as the USSR you can't say no to withdrawing from Afghanistan or establishing the soviet puppets. I say - add a choice for the player and make the computer always go for the historical decisions.

2. More of a question: When I was playing the Pashtuns, I had all of Afghanistan to myself + Kabul and Quella in Pakistan were Taliban's. I was a member of "The Axis", with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, but when the US came for us, my country automatically left the axis and joined the allies. Why did that happen? Is that intentional?
 
That one provicne in iraq musyt be in iran, and Azbekistan, Georgia and other small countries are missing.


Greath mod.

Good idea on item 1, I was planing to have more options in the next version.

I'm stunned on item 2. Taliban and Pashtun shouldn't be on at the same time. Either you, Afghan or Pakistan liberated Taliban before 1994? I fixed the problem and can't happen again.

How did you wind up in the Axis? I bet it was interesting play that way, maybe that's why you were able to take most of Afghanistan. Yes in a way it was intentional with the US, but then again Pashtun shouldn't be there in the first place. Did the Allies win?

I don't know what province you are talking about. They are correct I believe.

Azbekistan, Georgia and the others are liberated in 1991.

Good idea on Cuba, maybe some day, or you could do it.

The game is really more about those second-rate guerillas, it is more current and involves many other countries and situations, including the Soviet breakup which I am refining now. An alternative option may be The August Coup suceeds. There would be no Russian Federation or Chechnya and the Soviets might take back the block and more!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and Nam too!

I dunno, I played as the Pashtun faction. almost all of Afghanistan was mine, Al-Qaeda let me in the axis. I got the "Taliban Coup" event, but the Taliban emerged as a separate faction from me. This resulted in a triple axis of me, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. So I prepared my country for the upcoming war with the allies - but when the USA came my Pashtun Afghanistan automatically switched sides.
I was actually happy - because this allowed me to become the unchallenged
ruler of Afghanistan :)
I annexed the Taliban, chased Al-Qaeda out of my land and fought them on Pakistani land. It was indeed an interesting play. here's a screen shot from the pre-war afghanistan:


BTW, I noticed that the Taliban has a suprisingly low manpower growth (less than 0.3). Maybe you should change that. Other than that - wonderful mod! If you plan on adding Israel to this scenario - I'll be happy to give you any info you need.
