This template adds military POIs (SAM, EWR, Bases, HQs and more) to the German Cold War (CW) map. The mod is designed for players who want to create realistic scenarios or campaigns.
Mission designers can use the included scripts to automate complex operations with MIST, MOOSE, Skynet IADS, CTLD and Splash Damage. The IPs in the Mission Editor also provide detailed information on the regiments and assets used.

** Currently only East Germany, will be expanded to cover West Germany until end of May. **

-----------INSTALLATION-------------
Import the .miz file in your saved games directory (C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\DCS\Missions)

-------------DESCRIPTION-------------
Welcome to the height of the Cold War in a divided Germany.

This template offers a glimpse into the military setup of Germany in the mid to late 1980s. Airbases have been set to BluFor/RedFor and have dynamic spawn on.
Following scripts are already included in the mission:
* MIST https://github.com/mrSkortch/MissionScriptingTools
* MOOSE https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE
* Skynet IADS https://github.com/walder/Skynet-IADS
* CTLD https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CTLD
* Splash Damage https://github.com/spencershepard/DCS-Scripts/blob/master/Splash_Damage_2_0.lua

In the mission editor you will find useful information on regiments/brigades and their assets for all military sites in Germany. There is also a traced border around East Germany and around West Berlin via the Draw Tool (Author level) and also via two planes (hidden neutral) with waypoints for further integration with MOOSE.

Close to 1000 units have been placed at the following sites: (all "Hidden on Planner" and "Hidden on MFD")

EAST GERMANY
* ~20 AAA sites (S-60 and ZSU-23/4)
* ~70 SAM sites with advanced waypoint actions *Alarm State*=RED, *Engage Air Weapons*=ON, *Evasion of Arm*=ON and *ROE*=WEAPON FREE (SA2, SA3, SA5, SA6, SA8)
* ~60 Military POIs such as Ports, Bases, Training Ranges, HQs (some statics to flesh out the scenery)
* ~30x Airbases (5-10 statics per airfield) (have been set to BluFor/RedFor respectively)

WEST GERMANY
* tbd

I recommend deleting statics and units not used in your specific scenario to reduce stress on the server/own PC!!!
