Arma 3: Kent Republican Forces

Description
Full Disclaimer: I do not lay claims to the assets (Weapons, Vehicles, Uniforms etc...) Present in this mod, I merely came up with the idea, generated the config files using Drongo's Config Generator and had it compiled into a .pbo with help.

Arma 3: Kent Republican Forces is a Fictional Force based on a Fictional Hypothetical Scenario in which the United Kingdom faces mass civil unrest which led to the County of Kent to declare itself as a independent nation.

Lore: In 2021, with the Conservative Government becoming more Authoritarian in its handling of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Local Elections led to a surprise majority victory to a Secessionist Party. After winning the Council Seats across the boroughs of Kent, Conservative MPs lose control of the County as the Secessionists take over and declare independence from the United Kingdom. Condemned by Westminster as a illegal act, many supporters of the Party formed local militia groups, siezed Aged British Army Weaponry and Gear from Storage and began organizing into a professional fighting force.

With the UK government wary of seeing a major war on their own soil, Parliament authorized a small British Task Force comprising solely of Infantry and Light Armoured Vehicles to liberate the County of Kent, little did British Intelligence know is that the Kent Republican Forces managed to acquire Many of Britain's Retired Combat Vehicles and Aircraft. With little choice and pressure from the Scottish and Welsh Independence Movements, the UK government declares a State of Emergency and dissolved the Welsh and Scottish Parliaments in a desparation to prevent the country from falling apart. Tyranny has returned to Britain.

Faction: There are 3 Factions of the Kent Republican Forces; representing each branch of their Armed Force:
Kent Republican Army: The Land Army of the Kent Republic, Using Captured British Armoured Vehicles, Helicopters and Old World War Era Tanks found in storage and restored to operational use.
Kent Republican Air Force: The Air Force of the Kent Republic, Using Cold War Era Aircraft like the BAE Hawk and the Sepecat Jaguar.
Kent Maritime Forces: The Naval Force of the Kent Republic, Thanks to Separatist Engineers, they have rebuilt and restored Old Royal Navy Vessels.

What made me want to make this?
I guess this was an idea I had back years ago when I played Arma 2, as well as seeing mods like the Welsh and Scottish Armed Forces, I decided to make a Faction that can be used as a Western World Faction that is not Allied with NATO, plus as much as I liked the idea of the Welsh and Scottish Armed Forces Mods, I felt that the assets they use were not believable (in my opinion) so I wanted to make my own faction of a Breakaway region from the UK that is in my opinion more believable by having a faction that is using aged weaponry.

How do the Kent Republican Forces Perform?
Depending on the Map, number of forces and AI improvement Mods will depend on how this faction will perform, based on my testing of combat scenarios between Kent and British Infantry, in a Equal number of infantry (8v8) of units of similar class, the British Army wins because of better protection and weapons, the Kent Army are not as accurate as the British Army that I tested which to me would make logical sense, in Urban Warfare on the Map provided in Global Mobilization, Full British Infantry Division against a Kent Infantry Force pretty much was a Stalemate with the Kent Forces having some advantage being in a defensive position. I have not tested a full Combat deployment of British and Kent Forces (including Fighter Jets, Helicopters and Tanks) but on the Individual Level, British Armed Forces Have won every engagement with the exception of assaulting a Kent Occupied Town. So in my personal Conclusion, the Kent Republican Forces seems pretty believable in their capabilities but don't take my word for it.

@Dan, last time I recall, there are various militia groups active across the UK, I think there is only one in Kent that advocates for Kent Secession from what I seen on their website.

@Shadow

I'll take a look at it.

Btw there is a mod I know of that may or may not be of use, [PWH] Core Library has a lot of British buildings signs etc which may come in handy! All the best. :D
Shadow 14 Dec, 2023 @ 4:57pm 
That's lot of stuff...I wish you all the best, they sound interesting and it would be nice to see more British themed settings as there aren't many on the workshop! I have looked quite a bit for some. It would awesome to see custom buildings too for extra feels.

[Proposed Terrains]
>Maidstone
>Medway (Entire Unitary Authority)
>North-East Kent (Manston Airport area)
>East Kent (Folkstone, Dover)
>North Kent (Darenth, Dartford, Gravesham, Tilbury)
>East Sussex (Entire County)
Plan to model all the buildings in each region myself to give the maps a unique feel instead of generic Arma assets because there is no assets so far that reflects Kent.

The Full development is a big undertaking for one man, so for the time being, only factions are being made.

[BluFor Factions]
>British Army (Kent Expeditionary Forces)
>British Unionist Forces (Pro-British Militia funded by Westminster)
>East Sussex Army (Pro-British Militia seeking to liberate East Sussex from Kent)

[Indie Factions]
>Jutes PMC (Danish Private Military Company profiteering from the war)
>Kent Confederalist Army (Paramilitary aligned with the Kent Independence Movement)
>White Horse Militia (Pro-Kent Militia group)

[OpFor Factions]
>People's Liberation Army of Kent [KPLA] (Far-Left Communist Group)
>King Aethelbert's Army (Far-Right Kentish Monarchist Group)
>Free Sussex Army (Anti-UK and Anti-Kent Paramilitary seeking Sussex Independence)

So far it's making the factions first, then hopefully in time, with help from other developers, be able to retexture each asset, add in their respected flags, roundels and in time, maps of some areas around Kent and East Sussex.

@Shadow
I am still currently developing this mod, I'm looking at developing additional factions, restructuring and giving new assets (thanks to SOG DLC).
So far the re-work/restructured factions are:
>Kent Secessionist Forces (Secessionist War Period) [Includes Winter Appropriate Units]
>Kent Republican Army (Anglo-Kentish War Period)
>Kent Republican Air Force (Anglo-Kentish War Period)
