Altis Parachute Regiment for Global Mobilization

The Altis Parachute Regiment is a new faction for Global Mobilization adding troops from the airborne units (Paratroopers and SAS squadron) of the Altian armed forces during the colonial time and the cold war era (1980’s).

Created during the second world war as part of the British airborne forces in Mediteraneean, the Parachute Regiment and SAS squadron have fought alongside UK armed forces in almost every major British operations in the mediteraneean or Middle east theater, such has the Suez Crisis, the Dhofar Rebellion the Aden Emergency, and the multinational Force in Lebanon. In the 1980’s, a small contingent of Parachute company and SAS sticks was deployed to support the British Expeditionary Forces during the Falklands war.

During the cold war Era, the Altis Parachute Regiment served as a quick reaction force of NATO powers, able to be rapidly deployed on mainland Europe or Persian Gulf in case of invasion of the Warsaw Pact forces.

During the State Scarlet crisis, Several companies of the Altis Parachute Regiment were dropped over Germany to reinforce the elements of the Bundeswehr holding the area of Weferlingen against advance of East German forces.

- To be used at your own risks! I don' take responsibility in case of unexpected damage to your system
- I don't play MP, so if you encounter bug, please report and I'll try to fix it

- Compatibility with ZEUS: Normally yes, but not tested
- No other dependencies than Marksman and GM DLCs

This is not supposed to be ultra-realistic and honestly there could be some anachronisms, but it gives my vision of a fictional unit using available assets. It is limited by my skills and the time I can spend on it, so you could probably find higher quality mods or models - still, I don't think this is redundant with existing materials. I tried however to make as neat and smooth as possible, this is the least of courtesy to the potential users. If there are any bugs to report - please let me know, and I'll try to fix it (it will be an opportunity for me to learn something new).
- The code of the config could probably be optimized - I have not seen any bugs, missing relationship popping up on my system, but it is always, so please let me now
- No Groups yet - to come in subsequent update
- Add an Indepedant side faction (include additional 90's kit?)
- Add British DPM uniforms
- Add summer uniform with the Altis DPM and Brushtroke camo pattern
- Long term - aircrafts?
