Will it be possible to
1/ Make my own map of other parts of the World? Like Northern Europé?
2/ If I want to make a scenario 2013 of Russia attacking northern Norway or Poland is that possible, by adding new weapons and such?

1. Yes. A couple ways to approach doing this that the game can use. The map is just an image with a hex grid overlay of the proper scale. In early testing we used scaled screen captures off google maps.

2. You can, in fact, make your own module with new unit data, art, and sounds. The shipping game currently allows only the FPRS module to load, but we know we need to add a selection interface for other modules (both ours and user created). It is high on our added features list.

The game will have a Modding Guide that should be released at or very shortly after the launch of the game to help people who want to do mods. [8D]

2/ Will I be able to copy the existing db and then add new units since most units are still the same? A BTR-80 is still a BTR-80, at least if not upgraded

The User data files are simple excel spreadsheets. So you would just need to make a new copy and add/remove/modify those items you want from your new data file.
