South African Defence Force Deck

It was very disappointing that Eugen decided to ultimately not include South Africa in Wargame, and it appears that they won't be working any more on the game as they've moved on to other projects.
As such I have created a SADF deck, utilizing various countries to come as close as possible to the 1980's version.
It should be noted that the deck isn't particularly competitive and isn't designed for serious online play, since the units were chosen to accurately depict the era and not for their combat effectiveness.

This deck can be a lot of fun if you like roleplaying in SP, like I do sometimes, or want to recreate certain scenarios with friends in closed MP battles.

I will be updating it whenever the game updates as the deck code changes every time new units are added.

Hopefully the next WG will be set in Africa, and will include South Africa, Angola and Cuba.

(BUSH WAR) South African Defence Force

Updated
Overview
I attempted to best recreate the SADF of pre-1994 South Africa so as to keep with the Cold War setting of Wargame. I used a combination of British, ANZAC, French and Dutch units.

Some units aren't accurate of equipment used by the South African Military, namely the infantry transports, which I felt authenticity regarding the actual infantry was more important than the transports. Quantities of units aren't great, however I feel that accurately depicts South Africa strategy to warfare, menauverability and superior firepower and training; over sheer numbers.

I am working on a SWAPO/Angola deck to use with this one.

Hopefully Eugen realises the mistake they made not adding the SADF in the near future and fix that.... I'm looking at you MadMat...

Edit: So glad they did realise thier mistake!
