The problem as far I see it is filling the gap between the meltdown of the DRA Army in the spring of 1992 and the birth of the ANA at the beginning of 2003. This becomes an issue especially during the taliban era when you have the taliban and the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (AKA the northern alliance) duking it out. Personally I am inclined to pick the northern alliance and apply some fudge to bridge the 1992-2003 gap. However the country is flying the taliban flag in the game and the picklists pick Al Qaeda and Co.
