CS ME DLC what comes out when, and with what ?

[Hoplite1963]

I have been really impressed with the CSME upgrade and enjoying playing with it. At various times there has been discussion of what is planned for it by way of purchasable download content (DLC) with much of the recent discussion being around adding Iranians to cover the Iran/Iraq war in the reasonably near future.

However reference had also been made earlier to DLC covering the Indo/Pakistan Wars and cold war conflicts in Africa, Chad, Angola, Namibia and the horn of Africa etc.(I also notice that a lot of the formations for the later conflicts are already present in the databases for the generic pro east and pro west factions)

Is it planned that these latter conflicts and the content for them will form part of the same PDLC as the Iranians or will they form separate DLC sets coming out at a later point?

Many thanks
Ian

I can't answer the DLC question(s), but... you, like me, are interested it seems into those 'nasty little wars'/colonial struggles in Africa I take it?

And yes, the 60s, in particular the Congo operations, would be quite a thing. A Mike Hore commandos DLC, incl. Kongo Müller?

Those conflicts would not be covered in a CS Middle East DLC. Rather, they would be core content, or perhaps a DLC, of an entirely separate game, CS Cold War. Which is a few years away.

Hi Berto
Thanks for the quick reply on this.

The first DLC for Middle East will cover the Iran-Iraq War.

Iran-Iraq War

That link provides some information.

The second DLC for Middle East hasn't been determined yet, but part of the African Bush Wars seems like an interesting subject.

India/Pakistan and Soviet/China DLC's would be suited for the future Campaign Series Cold War game.

So Vietnam is a separate game and closest to completion? Don't know how I missed that. All good, just keep the content coming!

[Jason Petho]

Yes, Vietnam is a separate game and is planned to be out in the summer.

All going extremely well, of course.
