I will.

I got these from three sources:

- Merc Gazeteer as a first base
- Additional elements from the net
- A lot from a book edited by Salamander : The World's Armies.

Actually this book give starting elements on every world armies (1988-1990) from the largest to the smallest ones. It's not entirely good but provide a good base. It has the type of units and major equipments for every country but, however, it lacks the unit numbers. At time, I'll try to get something out of this for every African countries (after all someone might want to use other countries than the one I chose for myself) and many minor armies but it will take time.

Some elements on Angola

ANGOLA
In addition to regular troops, they were about 50000 Cubans deployed in Angola. Using v1.0 these troops would still be there but in the process of being withdrawn. Using v2.0 they would have been withdrawn but a few might still be left behind. Using T2013, they would be long gone and the given figures for Angola would be largely reduced. Angola is producing oil but this is exploited by US and located in Cabinda. Cabinda would certainly have been nuked by the Russians but with little effect (except for oil supply) on the mainland.

Forca Aerea Popular de Angola
19 = Service Ended Aircraft:
I havent found anything on the orbat but I found elements on the number of aircrafts. Nevertheless, I would consider most if not all of them to be grounded because of lack of fuel and general attrition.

Angolan Navy
Not much is found but in the early 1990s they had seven light patrol boats armed with 20mm guns and MGs:
- Preservador
- Patrulheiro
- Temerario
- Mandume
- Atlantico
- Golfinho
- Polar

Foras Armadas Angolanas
Before T2K these forces were facing the UNITA of Sawimbi (support from US and South Africa until the end of the Cold War) and in T2K this can lead to anything. After a cease fire in 1991 combat stared again in 1992 until Sawimbi's death in 2002. Since 2002 UNITA became a political party that never represented more than 15% of the votes. The Orbat given is that existing after the general reorganization of 1988-89. Of course, the figures given are that preceding T2K and it just seemed to be a working Orbat based on fairly solid elements. In T2K, I would expect the Angolan army to have dissolved but some elements might still be around in fighting order.

Infantry Equipments: PK Machinegun, RPK-74, AK-74, G-3, SVD sniper rifle, Tokarev, Makarov, 82 and 120mm mortars, B-10 82mm RCL, RPG, SA-7 and SA-14.
ADA: SA-8, SA-9, SA-13, S-60 57mm, ZU-23 and ZPU-4.

Usually I consider the Gazeteer to be relatively valid as far as game purpose but that is not the case with Angola. The figures given as Brigade Group in the Gazeteer resemble too much the general organization of the Task Forces. These are highly mobile COIN units (no light infantry) engaged only against the UNITA. It is doubtful that they would be engaged in regular fightings and if you use the Gazeteer it would be better to replace them by regular Brigades.

BENIN
Today, the Gendarmerie seems to have been brought up to 2500 while the Peoples Militia seems not to exist anymore. Nowadays, the army might count an additional 1000 soldiers but that remains uncertain. However, 10 VBL and 16 M113 have been added to its equipment list. The army is also using: ZPU-4, RPG, LRAC and SA-7.

What is there on the air force is incomplete. Today, the air force counts 4 A-109 Agusta and a number of single type aircrafts (1 BAe HS.748, 1 DHC-6, 1 Commander-500B and 1 Alouette III) in addition to what I listed. I consider that the sole patrol ship has been lost.

BOTSWANA
I know from previous thread that some of us know the movie oeGods must be crazy and the action was taking place in Botswana. At that time the countrys army was about 600 with a small police force and that explains why Sam Boga could move around so easiliy. At the time of T2K that situation as changed slightly (essentially because of Sam Boga of all sorts). To remain simple I assumed that all brigades are identical. That might not be exactly the case but there are some good chance that this might be almost true. Unit assets are strictly coming out of my imagination (except for the numbers).

An Unexpected country

GHANA
I didnt count that country but know Im asking myself why. In fact, there is a good chance that Ghana would have survived the war. In addition, that country might well be an ally to HMG (United Kingdom) and that would explain part of the British recovery. The Orbat would work almost for all periods with only some minor differences. With the Twilight war more personnel could have joined the army.

Further Elements on Cameroon

Cameroon - Security Information
Conflict History [1]
The independence years were marked by a revolt of the Bamileke, which was finally suppressed in the early 1970s with the help of French troops. In 1982 Paul Biya took over the presidency from Ahmadou Ahidjo, who resigned due to ill-health, and was re-elected as president in 1984. An unsuccessful attempt by an army faction to overthrow the government in 1984 temporarily destabilised the Biya regime. In the following months, however, he moved quickly to reassert control. He was re-elected as president in 1988, 1992 and again in 1997. During the 1990s pressure for the introduction of a multi-party system increased, and was accompanied by intense unrest and instability. The 1997 legislative and presidential elections were accompanied by widespread violence. In 1998 several people were killed in ethnic clashes in north-western Cameroon.
Security Situation [2]
Relations with neighbouring countries are generally harmonious. The exceptions are a simmering border dispute with Nigeria (the Bakassi Dispute), and with Equatorial Guinea over territorial waters. Both Cameroon and Nigeria are reinforcing their military presence in the Bakassi peninsula. Influxes of Cameroonians into Equatorial Guinea, in the hope of benefiting form its new-found oil wealth, has strained relations. In 1999 the governments of Cameroon, Equitorial Guinea, Nigeria, Sao Tome & Principe, Gabon, Congo Brazzaville, the DRC and Angola established a Gulf of Guinea Commission to help prevent and settle conflicts, especially border disputes, in the Gulf.
Security-Related Budget [3]
The defence budget for 2001 was US$160 million (up from US$155 in 2000). Defence expenditure in 1999 was US$156 million, equal to 1.5 % of GDP.
Political Oversight [4]
President and Commander-in-Chief: Paul Biya
Prime Minister: Peter Mafany Musonge
Minister of State, Delegate at the Presidency in charge of Defence: Amadou Ali
Minister of State in charge of External Relations: Augustin Kontchou Kouemeg
Secretary of State for Defence in charge of Gendarmerie: Remy Ze Meka
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces: Paul Biya
International Treaties/ Protocols/ Alliances [5]
Cameroon is a member of the UN, WTO, the Commonwealth, OAU, ADB, OIC, the Lake Chad Basin Commission and an ACP member of the ACP-EU relationship.
International Community Involvement [6]
Apart from rotating French Legionnaires there appear to be no permanent foreign forces on Cameroon territory.
FORCES DEPLOYED OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY

Cameroon Armed Forces

Senior Personnel

Structure [7]
The army is very much under the personal control of president Paul Biya who takes a day-to-day interest in all matters military. The army (strength 11500) has a military presence in Cameroons eight military regions that correspond to the national administrative areas.
Bases
Army bases are thought to be located in or near major towns and cities as per administrative districts. Air force bases are located at Batouri, Douala, Garouda and Yaounde. Naval bases are located at Douala (HQ), Kribi and Limbe.
Defence Budget
The defence budget for 2001 was US$160 million (up from US$155 in 2000).
Doctrine [8]
Very little accurate information is available. French methods and procedures appear logical.
Strength [9]
Total strength: 22100 (including gendarmerie). Army: 11500; Navy: estimated 1300; Air Force: 300; Gendarmerie: 9000.
Composition [10]
The order of battle is as follows:

Field Army (HQ Yaounde)
1 Presidential Guard battalion
1 guard batallion
1 armoured reconnaissance battalion
1 airborne/commando battalion
1 artillery battalion
5 infantry battalions
1 anti-aircraft battalion
1 engineer battalion
1 armed forces training battalion
Yaounde logistic support base
In addition to the three service wings, there is a gendarmerie of 9000 who appear to be in the army chain of command (and certainly directly responsible to the president). The gendarmerie have large detachments in all the regional administrative areas and are equipped with light weapons and light armoured vehicles.
Training [11]
It is assumed that local training is undertaken with the French, with higher subjects being studied at various military schools in France.
Defence Equipment: 2001 [12]

Latest Procurement [13]
There is broad agreement among military observers that Cameroons regional environment and its disagreements with Nigeria will generate a spate of military procurement and that money will be found to support such purchases. However, the modernisation and enlargement of the Cameroon armed forces will be an ambitious and expensive project. In the meantime, it received four 155 mm pieces of artillery from Israel in 1997 and another four the following year.
Rebel Forces [14]
There are a wide number of potential insurgent threats to Cameroon.
English Speaking Secessionists
Many English speaking Cameroonians feel they have been marginalised by the French speaking majority and wish to exert more control over their own affairs in the west of the country. The call for independence has long been ignored by the mainly French speaking authorities. Armed attacks on the gendarmerie and other targets left 11 dead in 1997, at such places as Jakiri, Kumbo, Bumenda, and other localities in western Cameroon. People suspected of belonging to the Southern Cameroon National Council were arrested in connection with the attacks. Their trial commenced in 1999.
The Bagyeli Pygmies
The Bagyeli pygmies are thought likely to oppose government and World Bank plans to build a 1100 km long pipeline between the Doba oilfields of Chad and the Atlantic coast of Cameroon.

Cameroon - Natural Resources and the Environment
Largely because of highly varied ecology and environment, Cameroon has one of the best-endowed primary commodity economies in sub-Saharan Africa - agricultural conditions are favourable, it has abundant forest reserves and substantial mineral and oil reserves
Mineral resources
Petroleum, bauxite, iron ore
Water resources
Hydropower. Annual internal renewable water resources: 18,711 cu m Per Capita (1998); Sector withdrawals - domestic 46%; Industrial 19%; Agricultural 35%
Land - Refer to table/s
Key Environmental Concerns
Water-borne diseases are prevalent; deforestation; overgrazing; desertification; poaching; over-fishing. Cameroon's tropical forest is the second largest in the world but it is being exploited at a faster rate than is sustainable. Concessions to exploit the forests are awarded through a bidding system, with companies winning by offering high inducements to the officials. There is little monitoring of forest management. As the forests have become more accessible, poachers are shooting antelope, chimpanzees and gorillas, and selling them.
Environmental policy and manifestation
International agreements - Biodiversity, Climate Change, Desertification, Endangered Species, Law of the Sea, Ozone Layer Protection, Tropical Timber 83, Tropical Timber 94
Natural hazards
Recent volcanic activity with release of poisonous gases
Cameroon - Population
Ethnically and linguistically diverse with more than 200 languages, three broad groupings dominate: Fulani, Kirdi and other groups dominate the Muslim north; the Bamilk dominate in the western regions, while in coastal areas the Grand Sawa dominate.

An important religious and social divide lies across the country. While the people of the south and west have been profoundly influenced by Christianity, the people of the north are either Muslim or animist and have largely retained their traditional modes of life. One other major contrast in the social geography of Cameroon is between anglophone north-west and south-west Cameroon, and the much larger, more populous francophone area of former East Cameroon. The contrasting influences of British and French rule remain evident in many spheres of life.

The UN population fund estimated the population at some 15.2m at mid-2001, and the growth rate for the period 1995-2000 at 2.7%. Poverty levels are high - according to a 1996 survey over 50% of the population fell below the poverty line, and almost a quarter lived in extreme poverty. Almost all of these live in the rural areas. The two main centres, Douala the port and commercial centre, and Yaound the capital, each have over a 1m inhabitants.

There has been a significant deterioration in the education and health systems since 1990, a result of the economic crisis of the early 1990s. In an effort to redress the declining standards, the government increased spending on health and education in the 2000/01 fiscal year by 19% and 48% respectively.
Refugees and IDPs
Cameroon is host to close to 44,000 refugees, mainly Chadian refugees. Of the 8,000 urban refugees, some 65% live in the cities of Douala and Yaounde.
Health
Poorly maintained infrastructure and services - a consequence of budget cuts since the early 1990s - have led to sharp increases in infant and child mortality rates and a decline in life expectancy.
HIV/AIDS
UN estimates of infection rates are put at 7%, while unofficial sources estimate the HIV prevalence to be closer to 11%. This rate is one of the highest in Central Africa. In an effort to fight HIV/AIDS the government has negotiated a reduced cost for imported anti-retroviral medicines, and has an extensive public campaign of education and training.
Education
Education was hit hard by the financial constraints faced by the government in the early 1990s. Primary school enrolments, which were nearly 100% in the early 1980s, had dropped to some 62% in 1997. Nevertheless, adult literacy levels at some 75% are high, a reflection of the marked progress made during the 1970s and 1980s

MADAGASCAR
I never saw any reason for that country to collapse but I havent found much on its military either. Nevertheless, as the army as a reputation for neutrality I dont imagine it entering a civil war. Of course, Madagascar would experience a fairly high level of Political unrest but this, in my opinion, would result in a deep reorganization of the country resembling that of the 19th century. The Merina would assume control over the central part of the country and over the North East. This would be achieved with support from the army and with support of the other ethnic group in the region (for exemple: Betsileo). As a result, they would control Antananarivo, the center and the coastal cities of the eastern coastt. I could easily imagine for the leaders of this part of the country to assume the title of oeMpanjakan'i Madagasikara (Sovereign of Madagascar). I can also imagine that they establish a flourishing light industry to support their claims. After all, Madagascar produced its own artillery and muskets during the 19th century (If not for an incompetent Queen: Ranavalona III and for the French.invasion of 1897, Madagascar could have achieved a true industrialisation in the early 20th century).
However, the North West would escape their rule (Sakalava domination) as would the South and the South West (dominated by semi-nomadic people).

Army
I havent found much on the Army except that it counts 12.500 personnels and that it is organized in 2 Battalion groups, 1 Engineer Regiment, 1 Signal Regiment and 1 Service Regiment.

Air Force
In T2K that air force would probably be grounded (lack of fuel) but that might not be the case in T2013 as Madagascar is now exploiting a small amount of off-shore oil.

NAMIBIA
That would be a very interesting country with a large territory and a small fairly wealthy population (by African standards) that just got out of the grip of South Africa. Moreover, it can be self sufficient and might continue to exploit several mines (Diamond, Lead, Zinc, Silver, Tin, Tungsten and Uranium). If its situation would certainly depends on what happen to South Africa, that country might well remain stable as you can expect less hunger and almost no ethnic rivalry among its population. HIV/AIDS would be a problem, however. Two questions, then:
As no one can really invade it, would it be left alone
Would it enter some kind of agreement with one or several of its neighbours (Angola, Botswana or South Africa)

TANZANIA
Im not really sure that I would include that country. Whatever, the army would have lost control over the North West and Zanzibar would be at least autonomous. Zanzibar would then be a perfect place for pirates (Hem! I meant traders

). Numbers are unreliable but can serve as a base of thinking. Personnaly, I consider the country to be in Chaos with Zanzibar being organized as a center of piracy (successful trading center

). The island has been joined by the navy and by some military units.

ZA RE:
I hesitated some times about that country but it has been facing so many unrest, rebellions and massacres that I finally considered that it was entirely facing chaos. All sorts of military forces can be found equipped with weapons ranging from spears and matchets to T-55. However, in T2K the country (Za-re) was still under the rule of Mobutu (something close to an ogre) and the slip into chaos could have been slow and very bloody. At the time, the army was well trained but poorly equipped (some units still had spears in 1978 and that could still be the case) with low morale and often unpaid.

I think the crucial question is whether South Africa follows its real life timeline and is a multi racial democracy by the start of the Twilight War or remains an apartheid state. I seem to recall that this was discussed a while back on the old board.

I understand that one of the catalysts for the apartheid government engaging in talks with Nelson Mandela in the late 80's was the collapse of communism, which never happened in the V1 timeline, so the question is would the Boers still have been in power, in which case I personally think that South Africa would have fallen in to a state of anarchy, with civil war going on between multiple factions, much as described in Larry Bond's Vortex.

A multi party democracy under Mandela, who would have been President during the Twilight War if you follow the real life timeline is much more likely to remain a stable, calming force throughout the region.

As I'm a traditional V1 Twilighter, I personally go for the Civil War option, but that's just my two cents worth...

(Sorry if this is slightly drifting from the thread's topic...)

More questions to Rainbow Six (South Africa OOB)

As I agree with you, here is South Africa. Nevertheless, even if you follow v1.0, South Africa would have granted independence to Namibia.

SOUTH AFRICA
I kept this one for the end as it remain a special case in Africa and as it will be more demanding.

If following T2K (either v1.0 or v2.0), I would expect the government to maintain the Apartheid system in face of the increasing tensions. Of course, during the war, with hunger and sicknesses, that would lead to Civil war. However, ethnic tensions (among blacks) the devastating effect of AIDS and starvation would certainly give the upper hand to the white dominated army. Nevertheless, even if they get support from part of the black population, that will pose tremendous problems as they will have to get more white conscripts. In the Outcome, the country would stabilze toward 2000 with organized regions on the coasts, in the East and around the economical centers. Chaos would predominate elsewhere and the level of population would have dropped significantly despite the fact that the country didnt receive any nukes. With a true industry that would not be that much in bad shape and energy still flooding, the country might have become one of the major power in the world. Some could argue, that South Africa would have joined with the ally but that is doubtful as years of embargo would have left its mark. In T2K that country might retain some nuclear capabilities.

If following T2013, that would evolve very differently. Ethnic tensions would be directed primarily against foreigners but the country would not avoid it and it would lose a fair part of its population because of this. Then, the army would bring its forces together in order to face the various threat that could appear, designing several security zone that would remain organized. These could be more important than in T2K but large zone of chaos would exist, nevertheless. The country would still be able to get electricity but the supply would be more shaky and the industry, also still there, would be less in shape as the government would have been taken in the middle of reform process. Losses in human life could be important as the army would lack sufficient supply and proper organization for a time. For some times, it would remain unable to intervene everywhere and it would let several unrest go extreme.

What is left aside

OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES
With this, Ill try to explain why I leave several countries aside:

- Burundi and Rwanda: the ethnic war between Tutsis and Hutus would have started again and these countries would be at the center of one of the most chaotic region of Africa. Both countries would be at the center of this region of chaos but massacres and turmoil would extend on most of Uganda, on the North West of Tanzania and on Eastern DRC to the rich region of Katanga (Kolwezi). In these areas, villages would be at war with each other and you would witness scenes of barbary almost everywhere: people skinned alive, warrior eating the hearts and brains of their victims (in order to aquire their strength) Moreover, several fighting goups would be using the local sorcerer and a large amount of drugs. That will not make them invincible but as they would not feel pain, as a result of it, they would be able to sustain much more wound level that they normally should. Good luck.

- Cape Verde Islands: Not much to say except that they are islands and might have cut themselves from the world, much like other islands in the Carribean. Its army is composed of 4 infantry company (about 200 each).

- Central Africa: I dont know much about this country and it might well have survived. Its self-sufficient and at the same time on the brink of starvation. Moroever, it ccan be doubtful that the country surviving without UN backing. Finally, the army is so small (about 3500) that I doubt that it can really face any internal threat. Thats a do as you please country.

- Chad: This country would have dissolved under ethinc pressure and it would not retain any kind of armed forces. However, several militias can hold the ground depending on the location.

- Cote dIvoire: Taking into account the event that led to the French intervention in that country I considered that it is in a stage of Civil War. All French troops had been withdrawn and they were sent to Cameroon in order to reinforce the local government and control the resources of that other country.

- Equatorial Guinea: Nothing sufficient to work with. Anyway with something like 1000 troopers, that country would have been swallowed in the general chaos predominating in T2K.

- Ethiopia/Somalia/Sudan: Ethiopia has the largest ground force of sub-saharian Africa (at some point, around 300000 troops with about 30 Infantry Division+several other units) but at the time of T2K it was in turmoil. The last communist dictator had fallen (also you can think of a Russian intervention in support of Mengistu for v1.0) and the army was facing several insurgent groups (including several groups from Eritrea). Moreover, in real life, it was believed that the army could only achieve a 30% level of readiness. With all this, I considered that the country is in Chaos, being in the middle of the second area of pure chaos in Africa (the first one being centered on Burundi and Rwanda). This area would include Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan (everyone knows about the situation in these two countries). However, if Ill consider both Somalia and Sudan to be in anarchy that might not be the case for all of Ethiopia. I easily can imagine areas of stability centered on religious communities. Nevertheless, if you were to travel in this area you could face well equipped rebel groups (by T2Ks standard) with tanks, APCs, artillery and heavy weapons. In this region people are not equipped with matchets as they are in the Burundi/Rwanda region. Nice place to go if you want to have fun. Why go there could you ask I can come up with several idea including the facts that the French retain a base in Djibouti and that US troops are still in Kenya. Else, this is a land of all possible fantasy, one of the oldest country on earth and an ancient Christian Kingdom.
If you want to know more on the Orbat, just take a look at wikipedia, I dont have anything more.
Equipments to be found: T-72, M60, T-62, T-55, M-47, T-34, M41 light tank, Type 62 light tank, AML-90, BRDM-2, Ferret, Saladin, BMP-1, BTR-50, BTR-60, BTR-152, V-150 Commando, M113,ZSU-57-2, ZSU-23-4, M163 Vulcan, BM-21, FH155, FH122, FH105, FH75

- Gambia: That country would have fallen to Senegal or to the rebels operating in the south of Senegal.

- Liberia: I considered that this country was in total chaos at the time of T2K. For a question of ease I plunged it back into it during T2013.

- Malawi: Depending a lot on outside help, I expect that country to have vanished. However, it might be a fairly quiet rural region.

- Mozambique: I think that this country would be facing a full civil war involving troops from the original government and the Renamo. The situation could be slightly better than in the horn of Africa or than around Burundi/Rwanda but it would be chaos, nevertheless.

- Niger: I dont think that this country survived. It would be the theatre and the rear base of Tuareg insurgency.

- Nigeria: For that important country of Africa, youll find a good source in the Merc Gazeteer. Sorry if Im not coming up with anything but thats pure leaziness on my part. That country was among the only one to be nuked in Africa (with Cabinda), it is facing a multiple front civil war and it is simply confusion with a tremendous death rate among the population. One word: Devastated!

- Sierra Leone: Civil War.

- Uganda: Being drawn into the war between Hutus and Tutsis, this country would have collapsed.

I'm done with Africa, feel free to add some
