Ghana has a small air force and a small navy, the latter featuring some new patrol boats purchased from China.

The country should be added to the country menus in the scenario editor 2. Country-appropriate platforms in the database should be linked to that country, with dates of service, etc. 3. As time allows, country-specific platforms or country-specific variations on existin…

Guatemala only has a small air force and a very small navy (a few patrol boats) but it might be involved in disputes in Central America. (Among other things, as I understand it, they have sometimes claimed that Belize should be part of Guatemala.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Guatemala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_Air_Force 1.

Project 1204 Shmel http://russian-ships.info/eng/borderguard/project_1204.htm Large class of Soviet patrol boat. Some exported to other countries. The three-inch gun gives it a pretty serious punch for such a relatively small boat. Good for pirates, perhaps? ANW HUD-4 v1.11

I came up with a few more ideas that might be helpful for planning out victory conditions, etc. Most of these are simply potential targets, rendezvous points, "things you should not hit by accident," etc., I don't think they need to be planned out very elaborately. I would recommend simply copying the data for existing buildings (suggestions included) but adding a new entry with a changed name.

Another country with a small air force, but big enough that it could be part of an international squabble of one kind or another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Honduras http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honduras_Air_Force 1.
