Here is a new map of an out of the way region. It is of the Straight of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. Area covered is Iran/Persia (as it was called in WWII) and the northern part of the Arab Emirates.
There is no specific conflict as such depicted, though British and Soviet both occupied parts of Persian during WWII. There was no (or little) opposition to the occupation so in the main this would be map for creating fictitious or alternate history missions, with for instance a more vigorous defense by Persian forces, or perhaps a clash between British and Soviet forces in the more northern map area or perhaps even a German/Italian incursion into the region. Your imagination is the limit.
The map covers a vast and mainly empty region filled with desolate mountains and plateaus. Even so, to give the impression of habitation, even if only on a modest scale, the map has been populated with a large number of objects. Nowhere will there be a large concentration of objects, except in the harbor city of Bandar e Abbas and to a far lesser degree in the other harbor towns. Loading time, may take longer than with other maps and should be somewhat similar to that of the Slovakia map.
You will need to install object packs. All links for these, as well as install instructions are included in the readme/install.txt.
There are also a few Persian skins, all historical this time, for anyone wishing to fly this side in a mission.
