* Frog is a SS Missile unit.  There are 5 SS Missile types including Frog, SCUD, and SS Missile, one of which is MLRS and two of which are FROG (1 SS Missile unit is a FROG unit).  These all may be reclassified except for the MLRS (NATO) unit.
** Can we assume reserve forces have been brought to "active" status for the campaign?  Or does the 'reserve' unit need to remain for the campaign engine?  If it can be removed, this will impact the number of brigades and troop numbers.  The reserve unit slot may then be reclassified.
*** 2 U.S. Hawk Units (1 US, 1 ROK) - these will be combined.


New additions for Theater:

  • Pracka (Slingshot) Air Defense system

  •  

Some countries (such as Bulgaria) are not represented in theater, but may be introduced for expansion of the conflict much in the same way Russia (CIS) is present in the Korean theater.
