I was looking through the datafiles and I was surprised by how many ancient and simply old units are present there but almost never used. Thus, I decided to fill that gap (though some changes were needed) and started working on a 1968 campaign "Eternal Spring"

Soviet reaction to the so called Prague Spring was pretty aggressive: after several days of planning, troops from USSR, GDR and other Warsaw Pact countries left their garrisons and in one day occupied all crucial Czechoslovakian regions. The speed and execution of the operation surprised NATO, and they decided that they must respond to such an action and after almost a week of preparations, they attacked the weakened Eastern Bloc, using neutralised CzSSR as their bridgehead deeper, aiming for the Soviet territory itself.

Your task is simple: you must repel the enemy, who is charging along the southern flank of the GSFG with you taking in command the most southern unit of it: 29th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment and 68th Separate Reconnaissance Battalion, forming "Cherenkov's Operative Group".

Here I made and uploaded for playtesting the first scenario of the campaign as well as modified data files and the new map itself.

Thanks for sharing. There are a number of older platforms in the data if they were available in the 80s. Just need to be careful going back that far that things like ERA, Laser warning systems, Thermals, etc, are not on the platforms. Also would need some of the first generation ATGMs.

Yep, I made several entries, for instance, adding BRDM-1 as a recon vehicle, BRDM-1 with AT-2 as the first SP ATGM platform USSR got, allowed F-4Ds to be available in late 60s and made an AH-1G with guns + rockets. Also, made T-55s and T-62s as actual early version, as they intended to be (LRF and other high-tech stuff was added only in later "lettered" versions), I think that's all the most important changes I've made in TOE.
