Combatintman 598 Posted September 12, 2018 What exactly are you looking for or what is your intent? For instance are you looking for stuff to make a scenario/campaign out of or is this for study purposes or are you looking for general backgrounders to broaden your knowledge. I've always found in my career that the best place to start in any form of research is to ask yourself the question 'What exactly am I looking for?' 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My goal is to design several scenario for CMSF2 taking the historical background of this civil war. Too early for a campaign I am afraid. I prefer to start with something little. I am reading plenty of stuff right now to give me some ideas of interesting things to translate into scenario. I think I have all the necessary equipments (RED tanks / technicals) to do something not too far away from history. Perhaps will miss some NATO air assets like Tiger helicopters but an Apache is not too bad after all. Of course, this will be RED vs RED 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Combatintman 598 Posted September 13, 2018 Daily NATO updates – some are pretty bland but others give locations (city name) of strikes. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/news_71994.htm Mapping the Libyan Conflict – fiddly interface but some good stuff https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/28217294/mapping-the-libyan-conflict-insct-syracuse-university RAND Study on Airpower https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR676.html You might get scenarios out of these three: http://unosat-maps.web.cern.ch/unosat-maps/LY/CE20110220LBY/UNOSAT_LBY_CE2011_Zawiyah-8MAR11_REPORT_v2_HR.pdf http://unosat-maps.web.cern.ch/unosat-maps/LY/CE20110220LBY/UNOSAT_LBY_CE2011_AbuKammash-14MAR11Report_v1_HR.pdf http://unosat-maps.web.cern.ch/unosat-maps/LY/CE20110220LBY/UNOSAT_LBY_CE2011_AbuKammash-5MAR11Report_v1_HR.pdf 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
