Description
MAPS AND DATABASE MOD + SCENARIO PACK
current version: 0.60 beta (originally 3 August 2019, added to workshop 1 November 2019)

This contains all the parts of the mod package released so far. This mod depicts combat during the Chechen Conflict, fought in the Russian-dominated region of the North Caucasus - currently focusing mainly on the Chechen Civil War (1994) and the First Chechen War (1994-1996), with a more limited ability to represent the Second Chechen War (1999-200x) as well.

Mod features:
-Two completed, 15.36 x 15.36 km maps (Grozny and Kalinovakaya), with further additions planned
-A standalone database of historical units and weapons from the era designed mainly for asymmetric, urban combat - represented in three factions (Russian Federation, Chechen Republic, and Chechen Opposition)
-(new) Ten unique scenarios designed for the mod and Grozny map - focusing specifically on actions of Group North on December 31st 1994 and January 1st 1995 (2 large scenarios, 8 small ones; 6 for the Russian side and 4 for the separatists).

NOTE: To use the units and play scenarios designed for this mod, you must ACTIVATE THE DATABASE using the settings menu from the game launcher, before launching the game itself.
It is possible to use the maps without activating the database, however - meaning you can play on the Grozny and Kalinovskaya maps with the default Armored Brigade units and forces if you want.
