A fan for Real life Military equipment ? then this is your mod ! it is a Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge mod that basically imports a lot of RL military hardware from the cold war era in the 60's to the late 2000's while maintaining a lot RA2 aspects like prism, tesla tech and etc. Also, It expands on the original RA2 armor system thanks to ARES in which it creates more roles to create numerous units effectively expanding the complexity of handling an army making it necessary to use mixed arms to counter the various unit types. Also, do note that each country will have some twists in their military equipment that will be more or less similar to their respective RL counterparts. In short: it is a relative to reality fun mod but "a fun mod" is conservative statement.

A general information of Sigma's Armed Forces sub factions.

In Red Counter-Strike, Yuri is no longer referred to the faction and leader at the same time. To avoid the discrepancy; the name Yuri is only referred to the leader and the side that that is composed of various sub faction or more precisely the armed forces that is dispersed into various military sub branches that Yuri command is called Sigma. To which "Yuri-Side" is now called Sigma's Armed Forces (SAF) or just Sigma for short. Sigma's sub-branches or sub-factions are the following:

I do not intend to make larger images of the insignias since their will not use for them. I had just added rank names since I largely missed out on those.

Sigma’s Cobra Corps is sounds like a Yuri equivalent of the Cult of Pleasure from Total Warhammer 2 combined with Black Hand from Kane's Wrath

The Lunar Command is basically Iron Sky meets Galactic Empire from Star Wars (funny enough Udo Kier, Yuri's actor was in Iron Sky)

Experimental Combat Group 635 - Wolfenstein, get it?

Sigma’s Iron Vanguard - Basically the Wehrmacht from COH up to 11

Sigma's Field Army is GLA, duh.
