Laos Forces - Secret War, Laos

NOTE: THIS FACTION REPLACES MY EARLIER 'Royal Lao Army - Laotian Civil War (OBSOLETE)' FACTION. IT INCLUDED US FORCES AND I WANTED TO SPLIT THEM INTO DIFFERENT MODS. DO NOT USE TOGETHER AS THEY SHARE THE SAME CLASSNAMES. USE THIS ONE INSTEAD

This is a small infantry faction made using SOG Prairie Fire, US General Equipment & Accessories, Laffing Lizard in the Bush and S&S assets. I really wanted to utilise the excellent lizard camouflage from Laffing Lizard to depict the Royal Lao Army and guerilla units affiliated to them. I have tried to base the faction addon on research but in the end went a bit off piste making all kinds of guerilla units to depict the wider war in Laos. Where the units are based on research i have used several Osprey Miltary books depicting Lao infantry. However i have added certain 'fantasy' elements to make use of some of the cool S&S and US General Equipment & Accessories and Laffing Lizard uniforms!

I have given the Lao units Chinese voices to allow for better immersion when in firefights.

I used ALIVE's ORBAT creator to make the factions so you cannot override the units' loadouts unlesss you have ALIVE loaded. I don't know how to get around this i'm afraid. You can still add items and change gear once the mission starts through Arsenal/boxes etc.

You'll find the following groups in the mod under 'Laos Forces - Secret War Laos':
