Description:

Last year I uploaded my first mod, the Royal Marine Commandos. Since then I’ve made a few more mods and learned a lot about balance and gameplay, and as a result I’ve wanted to revisit the Commandos for a little while.

Recently though I played Aklis’ SAS mod, if you’ve not played this then I highly recommend it. Aklis nailed the SAS perfectly in that mod and it gave me an idea…

Now the Special Forces Support Group are now ready to deploy to Nowheraki.

Combining a 4 man SAS team lifted (with permission) from Aklis mod supported by a larger squad of SFSG soldiers.

The SFSG were established early on during the Global War on Terror, selected from the ranks of 1 Para to support the SAS on operations.

This mod aims to represent the SFSG from early to mid GWOT, allowing you to evolve your squad from an infantry section unsuited to special operations to a competent direct action capable unit more able to support the SAS.

The squad are balanced for campaign play, the SAS troopers are elite from the start and as a result will have to hold back when near the SFSG troopers (manifested as a mobility debuff when near their allies), as your squad gain experience you can unlock doctrine nodes that boost interoperability and remove this debuff. You’ll also need to balance your resources carefully, the SAS troopers are elite operators but you only have four of them.

The SFSG troopers early on will feel slow, cumbersome and unsuited for CQB combat. They are however heavily armoured and can access heavy firepower. Over time through experience, equipment unlocks and doctrine upgrades you can turn them into capable operators able to clear rooms almost as well as the SAS.

I owe a huge thank you to Aklis. As above, I think the SAS as portrayed in the SAS mod are perfect so permission was granted to lift them directly out. As a result the SAS mod is a hard dependency.

I also owe a big thank you to Levan, the assets for the SFSG come from the British Infantry Platoon mod (again a hard dependency, I also learned a lot from seeing he has portrayed Infantry units in his mods. A mention also for 20190611 who was the original author of many of the British assets.

A word of thanks to DBoy (and again a nod to Levan) for allowing me to add the G3KA4 to the mod.

Lastly, a big thank you to Visceral who provided excellent feedback through play testing.

• A new British unit combining 4 SAS troopers and 12 SFSG troopers.
• A custom doctrine tree and equipment unlocks enabling the squad to evolve in function and capability.
• Custom appearance for all vests, including different gear for each class.
• Unlocks come in packages, e.g. Virtus vests at 5 BH seems expensive but you’ll get both sets and the helmet in one unlock.
