Caucasus, 16 July 1976
BLUFOR has launched Operation Barbagrigia to restore Georgia sovreignity.
Their offensive is currently blocked on the Inguri river in three bridges codenamed Alfa, Beta and Gamma.
Map features:
- fluid front that reacts to events (ground units request CAS or CAP when attacked and also AI units can respond)
- custom BLUFOR AFAC player interaction will identify threats, report them and mark with WP rockets
- dynamic strategic ground targets that have an effect on the ground war
- open world, you decide what to do, when and how, no need to kill a specific unit to trigger mission events
- CAS and CAP flights are randomly genrated from templates, there will be a variety of AI F-5, F-4, MiG-21, MiG-23, Su.17, Su-17, MiG-27, L-39 with different skill levels and armament
- CSAR supported on BLUFOR, be careful for enemy troops nearby the downed pilot

*** HOW TO FLY IT ***
Read briefing carefully. RTFM is your friend :)
No units are marked on the map with the exception of specific map marks indicating known SA-2/SA-3/HAWK/Rapier SAMs.
Additionally, both coalitions have valuable strategic targets marked on the map.
A2A Operations
BLUE coalition has an E-2D Hawekeye, RED coalition has ground GCI, see your standing orders for detailed information.
A2G Operations
Check F10 menu "Capture Zone Status" to get a general idea of the hotspots.
In alternative you can check the F10 map, enable user marks and check the CZ status.
When in doubt, DON'T FIRE.
Additionally, groups under attack that are suffering losses will shoot flares as well so you know wh ere the action is.
*** F10 MAP MARKS ***
The F10 map contains marks for the CZ status, relevant strategic targets and SAM defences.
Be sure to enable "F10 User Map Marks" in DCS options.
*** ADDING PLAYER UNITS ***
To add player units simply respect the naming convention "BLUE PLAYER MY_UNIT_NAME" / "RED PLAYER MY_UNIT_NAME" and the script will automatically recognize the unit.
*** ADDING AI CAP/CAS UNITS ***
This is a bit more tricky and involves a bit of LUA scripting.
You will need to open the .miz file (7zip will open it) and add the required unit to the respective squadron in the respective .SetQuadron lines.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
To make the scoring system work login as spectator and wait for all scripts to be loaded (you will see the notification messages). After successful loading you can login with your desired coalition/slot.
