Re: Georgian OOB?
 

Using the Red OOB as a Russian opponent should be OK for this - as that is what it was designed for. See Game Guide, Historical design Notes linky, paragraph 2 beginning "The RED OOB, prior to the break-up of the USSR..".

You should get "Former USSR" as the locations, which will do fine for this purpose.

As to what to do to make it choose "your" type of troops, if the AI pick is not what you like, and/or troops types differ too much from any intel you have.

1) Make a sub directory to the OOB folder, call it "\Georgia" perhaps, and copy the existing Red OOB there as a holder (for now).

2) Edit the Red troop types to what you think they should be, in the Red OOB you have just copied from. e.g. - if you think the Georgians should only have T5XX then eliminate any unneeded other ones. You could also play around with formation moving, as usual in OOB hacking. Don't play with the AI pick list files, unless you want to do this in a completely separate install of the game as it will mess with the normal Red one, should you swap it back!.

3) Once happy with the results, copy to your sub-folder and overwrite the place holder. You can now use the OOB Swapper to change between your custom Georgian Red OOB, and the normal default Red which is in the backup OOB folder, as needed. (But not if you played with the AI pick list files, which is why you should make a completely separate game install for any hack that hacks those).

Re: Georgian OOB?
 

Thanks about tips Mobhack. If I only find better info about Georgian army structure somewhere (tank/inf/air force)... Have anyone better info/url which has it?

Re: Georgian OOB?
 

Btw, why tank company in Red oob includes only 2 mbt's and 9 light tanks? And tank platoon has only light tanks (PT-76, BRM-1 and 2) but no mbt's (T-72 etc.) at all...

Bug or made by purpose?

Re: Georgian OOB?
 

The ones in my Red OOB have MBT - but an obvious error, in that there are 2 at company HQ.

Check your version number - mine is "East Europe & Central Asia Version April/2008(C)2008 Camo Workshop" - AFAIR that was the latest one released to the public.

Do you mean game version number or what? I have latest version 4.0 installed.

What else tanks/apc/etc. they have?

Georgia RED Orbat file
 

This is a quick Georgian RED OOB. Put it in a sub-folder of the orbats called \Georgia or whatever, and use the OOB swapper utility to change with RED backup when required. It does not change the AI pick list - just uses one "AI only" formation for the light mech company with pick-up trucks or Otokar Cobras.

It's based on info gleaned from Tanknet forums. If there is anything you disagree with, feel free to use the thing as a basis for your own edits, as that one will not be maintained - it's not "official".

Notes:
T72 SIM-1 is a version sourced from Ukraine apparently. Its main change is that it has TI. A rarer AI pick than the standard T72. Seems to be about 1/4 of the G T72 fleet. All T72 are later models, with the 98 model gun. Added a KMT model to the engineer tanks, and a BMR engineer vehicle too. Georgian Army is a T72 based one, but some T55 later variants will appear. Added a CS tank type for those who need more HE.

What used to be REDs militia are now titled "National Guards" which seems to be the name for the Georgian territorials. The reserve infantry are less well trained, and are not used by the AI. Use for emergency new conscripts etc.

SP Arty seems mainly 152mm based - no evidence of SAU-122. G has bought DANAs and RM-70 MRL. Some off map batteries based on these are provided. I remained with the 4 piece arty battery organisation that the RED orbat uses as I cannot confirm if G uses 6 piece btys. The arty formation with "1 only" means just that - buy it and you have bought all the msta SPA G has - 3 pieces :). G has 57mm AAA, 18 pieces, so added as well. G has bought GROM MANPADS from Poland as well.

G has bought a fair few Otakar Cobras. These seem to be used as APC as well as for scouting. Added a motor rifle coy type with these as the base (smaller section size), and also as I have seen a fair few utes seemingly used in the APC role, these have been added as a possibility for this motor rifle coy type too.

Air - about 50/50 of SU-25 and L-39s, a dozen total or so of each. 4 only SU-24. 18-24 or so later model Hinds, and some MI-8s and Hueys. only 2-3 light spotter helos. Have used RPV, so added to the spotter light plane type.

Cheers

Wow thanks Andy! I must check this immediately...

Re: Georgian OOB?
 

I am just tosssing it here for brainstorming purposes. Given the way the Chechenya issue played out and the type of forces represented perhaps their OOB could be turned into something more generic? Something that could include others forces in the area maybe, with a picklist to deal with the different possibilities?

Re: Georgian OOB?
 

You mean something like "Generic former USSR insurgents", with Red being Generic FUSSR govt forces?
