Accurate Korean War

As a historian, collector, and reenactor of the Korean War I have always been a bit disappointed with the lack of an accurate Korean War mod for Arma. I am by no means a modder and this is my first attempt at creating anything myself, just using existing assets from other mods. All credit goes to the creators of the listed mods, I simply perused them to find and compile the most accurate elements according to my prior research.

Over the course of the war, uniforms and gear evolved continuously according to the changing weather and availability of new equipment. I have simplified this by largely sorting units into 'Early' and 'Late', corresponding roughly to the period 1950-51 and 1952-53 respectively.

As this is just a passion project and relies on spending a lot of time looking and experimenting with other mods and assets, I plan to add one faction at a time and update the mod as shown below, in whatever order I'm able to complete them. I have also tried to balance accuracy with accessibility, maximizing available content while minimizing mod and DLC requirements (no more 50GB worth of prerequisites for a simple faction mod).

To make changes to units, you must have ALiVE mod installed, then in unit attributes select box titled "Override ALiVE ORBAT Loadout". Then feel free to change units to your heart's content.

I only made a small selection of the possible uniform and gear possibilities, but I highly recommend playing around with the other assets provided with the required mods to customize it according to your will. If you own them, you can probably find some assets from either SOG and/or Liberation to supplement this. At a later date I may utilize SOG for the Opfor factions, but for now there is no DLC requirement.

**VERY IMPORTANT: to use Commonwealth units, you MUST install JM's Second Assault from Nexus Mods (https://www.nexusmods.com/arma3/mods/41)!!! It is not on Workshop and thus can't be listed as a requirement! You can use other factions without the mod but Commonwealth (British/Canadian/Australian/etc) units require JMSA to work!
