New faction: Canada

I put together a Canadian faction mod. It surely is not super accurate but I think it is a nice placeholder until an official Canadian faction might be introduced.

A demo scenario based on the tutorial scenario is included.

Uploaded a new version. Changelog (2017-01-25):

Added Corps support assets: SPAA Battery, SPSAM Battery
Added small arms and mechanized infantry units using them: C9 LMG, C7 Rifle
Added TANK unit: Centurion Mk11
Added wheeled APCs/TANK Grizzly/Cougar
Added mechanized infantry battalion formation to utilize the Grizzly APCW
Added CF-188 strike aircraft

Nicely done.
There's quite a bit of equipment missing though - our AVGP fleet, CF-18s, and ADATS to name a few. I think our Centurions were still in service until the early 80's as well. Eitherway, I'll play around with it a bit later. [:)]

The American support assets are a nice touch - we also would have been provided with I-HAWK, Vulcan, and Chaparral support to bolster our air defense.

Hi Stimpak,
thank you for the feedback. You are right about the missing equipment. Owing to a combination of some (deliberate) ignorance and being eager to make the data file available here to get initial feedback and gauge interest in the mod, I did not consider the additional equipment you mentioned. Some of it should be easy to include (Vulcan, Chaparral, I-Hawk, Centurions) since it is available in original data files already, the rest not entirely difficult to add either but with more guessing on certain values maybe.
