My next OOB project - Poll

[PlasmaKrab]

Both!
I've been thinking about the "Imperial Iran" projet for a while, it's still on my drawing boards for modelling, but as far as OOBs go I'll leave it alone for want of a real use.
I'd say concentrate on Afghanistan, that will be more helpful, though maybe less fun.
Even then, I'd like to see an Imperial Iran OOB, but...

That's where I am heading these days. It is a relatively straightforward job as I can exploit a lot of the work done for the iraqi mod. The only big headache is deciding if Al Qaeda and the Taliban should stay or be reserved for the Mujahidin OOB. The emphasis will be on the regular forces anyway.

Personally I'd put Al Qaeda and the Taliban with the Mujahidin.
As you said, a regular OOB should concentrate on the regular armed forces.

That is, in fact, under discussion ATM. Both the Taliban and Al Qaeda will be handled a bit differently in both the Afghan and Mujahadeen OOB in the next OOB update.

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.
