Global Assault
This is a new mod about 'What If' as in what if the Iraq war was different and that the terrorist bombings against the Pentagon had worked, and America had turned into a state of Isolationism and closes its borders and cuts off trade routes with everybody. Terrorism reaching a all time high and the EU becoming weaker and stronger by the day.
I present to you GLOBAL ASSAULT
Draft Story (Subject to changes) :
In 2001 the world was struck by a devastating terrorist attack in America. In that attack alone about 2,819 people died in all the planes and the World Trade Center. The attack that hit the Pentagon killed nearly all the Washington High command, except the Generals and the President and his officals. With that America launched a nuclear war against Iran and Iraq, wiping them both out, with fallout reaching all the neighbouring countries. Those small countries right next to the bombed areas were also wiped out. Millions died in that 24 hours. The president was quickly to blame, and thus had to resign or face war charges. The UN have passed a vote for a containment policy on the US, all their weapons of mass destruction was confisgated and disarmed. Then their air force was disbanded, so was their navy. At least the main threat of terrorism was destroyed. But a danger threat lomed. The more economically stable countries in the world prosphered in the next few years, USA had no powers what so ever anymore. Russia now left in the dark and forgotten blostered every bit of their economy and army, and they had begun their attack on Europe, the United Kingdom as their first taget, destory them then nobody could stop them...
This is where Global Assault begins.
I will update this topic every week, sundays and maybe in the week. The Terrorists will used old and outdated weapons and tanks, but in a few missions they will use the stolen Abrams.
The EU will have today's armies along with a few advanced weapons which will be high tech for them.
Two sides:
EU: Todays weaponry some advanced and made up units. (Good Side)
Infantry: Coming Soon
Vehicles:
FV510 Warrior Tracked Armoured Vehicle,
30 mm L21A1 RARDEN cannon with a L94A1 coaxial 7.62 mm chain gun
7.62 mm machine gun. Good against Infantry but weak against tanks. Light support against buildings and tanks, can hold 5 soldiers.
Véhicule de l'Avant Blindé (Armoured Vanguard Vehicle),
Anit-tank version, amphibious and can hold 7 people. Good against tanks but weak to infantry, unless with units inside. Good combined with the Warrior.
The Leclerc battle tank,
Medium battle tank, 120mm tank gun 40 rounds (1 round ready to fire in the chamber, 22 rounds inside autoloader magazine with additional 18 rounds in the chassis) 12.7mm coaxial M2HB machine gun 1,100 rounds 7.62mm machine gun 3,000 rounds. Good against other tanks and vehicles including buildings, weak against infantry.
Leopard 2A5 battle tank,
Heavy battle tank 1 x 120 mm Rheinmetall L55 smoothbore gun.
42 rounds 2 x 7.62 mm MG3 4,750 rounds. Good against other tanks, stronger then the Leclerc tank. Weak against infantry.
Challenger 2 Heavy battle tank,
L30A1 120 mm rifled with 52 rounds coaxial 7.62 mm L94A1 EX-34 (chain gun), 7.62 mm L37A2 Commander's cupola machine gun. Strong against all tanks, weak against infantry. Strong against buildings.

Infantry: Coming soon
Vehicles:

To be perfectly honest with you, the story sounds REALLY retarded. The US will NEVER become isolated again, after what happened in WWII. The UK would not want to isolate itself from Europe, as the UK wanted the UN in the first place so that it wouldn't be locked out of european affairs. Or so I understand, I really should look more into the purpose of the UN a bit more.
I'm quite confused as to why 2 nations would be turned into civilians, and there would be 2 factions serving the same damn cause for no reason. Russia cannot turn into the superpower it once was due to what the US would try to intervene from fear of being attacked.
Story is whack, TBH, and need works. Make it seem more logical to modern-day policies. And, IMO, a modern day warfare mod won't do well at all. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Only the Terrorists would be abit civilians like I said, and plus this is an alternate world.
Russia is nearly a superpower with out the weapons of mass destruction. Russia wants to be a superpower anyway. Especially since they want to control all the oil, gas and petrol etc.
Also only the terrorists and EU will have mostly today's units, not infantry as they will be new and revamped.
USA-UK will have ADVANCED weaponry. And Russia has gone into the creative side of war. _________________ My name is Shadow... I am Lord of the Shadows! NOD rules!!!!
I still think that without the inclusion of Iraq and Iran, which is what is being the main driving force behind your storyline, it's senseless. You're turning two nations into civilians, from the way you're making it sound.
If anything at all, the mainland EU wouldn't have old weaponry, as Germany and France both have very powerful militaries, and would have advanced weaponry as well. Germany is one of the strongest euro nations nowadays, not in a military but economical situation.
And why the hell would Russia get creative? That's not even remotely feasible. No offense to the Russians, but I've never seen much innovation behind their military. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Well considering the story is a draft I will change it. Russia will not be in the mod. The terrorists will be a fully functional faction. _________________ My name is Shadow... I am Lord of the Shadows! NOD rules!!!!
Why would the UK join the US in being isolationists? They're on the other side of the globe from each other!
Modder666 also makes a good point, why would the EU have old weaponry? And why would allies hide technology from each other? If the EU and the UK/US alliance were really were allies, why would they hind each others technology?
And what about Australia? We're left out of so many mods Probably the most-ignored English-speaking country in the world _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Actually, the UK would join the US as an isolationist state.
Australia is also pretty much isolationist, they might help out with the British but thats about it, they really don't see the point to get involved in wars.
But yes, the story really does need work. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Ok well I have changed it alot, no USA they just became Isolationist. Not making any real upgrades or advancements. Russia have gone. The Terrorists are a large faction. Using coldwar tech and stolen Abrams tanks, they use Guerilla tactics. The UK are still in the UN and EU. And along with France and Germany lead the way. Other countries like Spain, Portugal and Italy are behind. Less known and less armed countries in the EU are getting suicide bombings every month. _________________ My name is Shadow...

Personally, i dont think that even with a more sucessful attack on the USA in 2001 would have made it become isolationist, that just doesnt make sence. The events would be simmilar if not the same as they are today.

Not all mods and games for that matter see Russia as evil. Take gangsters and my mod and the unreleased game World in Conflict for example. Both see Russia as a superpower with logical motives behind what its doing. Theres no such thing as an evil side because the people who are part of the country or the countries army are doing what they think is right for their country, most of the time. But to them they consider their opposition as evil because it works both ways.
And Elerium-155 Australia is no way near being isolationist. We have our best troops in the worlds most dangerous places, plus we are exceptional peace keepers.
no dregan, not all games make russia evil, just all of tom clancy's games!!!
but i think that the story would go more like this. the 9/11 attacks on the US are successful and the pentagon is destroyed. the US then dessimates Iran with nuclear weapons. the fallout also destroys most neighboring nations. most member nations of the UN put a containment policy on the US. the US's power begins to deteriorate, while other powers in europe prosper. (which would even then be unlikely). after russia's economy is back up, they build a massive military force which they plan on using to take over europe, while the US is weak and out of the way. Russia attacks britain being the most powerfull EU nation at the time, and they are left staggering. the british require the aid of other EU powers but through an extended peace time, most their militaries are technologicaly behind that of Russias. All of western europe soon becomes overwhelmed and the US is asked to help out, recieving most of its equipment from other european nations.
there, its really quick but sounds a lot more feasible. QUICK_EDIT
Yes that storyline could work. Sounds better then mine already lol. My Dad is in the Australian army now. _________________ My name is Shadow... I am Lord of the Shadows! NOD rules!!!!
