Country Name: Hungary
Allegiance:

1. Allies
2. Soviet

1. The Allied hungary:

When Allied nations were very close to victory against the soviets in the 1st great war, the people of Hungary made a daring move.
They formed a liberation movement, and secretly contacted Germany, to ask for support, but the Allies refused stating that their forces are too exhausted to liberate another country, but were more than happy to supply the people with some weapons. After weeks of preparation, every man and woman, who were capable to fight, rallied in the streets, carrying stolen armaments and the ones received from the allies, started to openly revolt against their opressors. With the soviet army in disarray, and with lack of support,
their remaining units stationed in the coutry were unable to mount a defense against the freedom fighters, and were utterly destroyed, captured, or retreated to Ukraine.
Though Hungary had little to offer in resources, it had an advantege: close proximity to some, still soviet countries which the allies were unable to liberate.
The Allies recognised this and made a proposal: Hungary will become a member of the allied nations, and will build up a line of defense which can delay an incoming soviet assault, and serve as an early warrning system.
In return the country will receive additional resources, and the technical specs to build and maintain allied equipment.
If they don't accept, well... Hungary will be considered as a neutral nation open for another soviet occupation.

Country specific unit: Anti Tank Sniper
A sniper unit that carries a Gepard Anti MAteriel rifle, and deals tremendous damage not only to infantry, but light vehicles as well(half track, IFV, gattling tank), and moderately good against tanks.
Specs: only able to use AM rifle when deployed, and has a bit shorter range then the sniper, or virus(we don't want a super unit do we?).

Country speciality: Defense structures build faster, or veteran defense structures.

2. The soviet Hungary

Though the Allies were winning the 1st war, their forces were too exausted to liberate every country, and left Hungary in soviet hands. The newly formed Hungarian liberation movement secretly contacted Germany, but they refused to help in any way.
Nevertheless, people of the country rallied in the streets, carrying only makeshift and stolen armaments, and the fire in their hearts, started to openly revolt against their opressors in hope of getting rid of them. They attacked everything that had the red star painted on, but the remaining soviet forces in the country gathered their strength and crushed the rebellion in a rather bloody way.
The freedom fighters were either killed on sight, captured and sent in to gulags, or judged and sentenced to death in a fabricated lawsuit.
The soviet-friendly leadership tried to broke the spirit of the people, and made sure the people never make contact with any allied nation, so every foreigner from western countries were banned from the country, and the Hungarian people were probhibited to travel outside their country. Every radio and TV stations coming from the west was banned as well.
While Hungary had little to offer in resources, the Russians understood it's importance because it's close proximity to some allied nations, and sent some of their top researchers to hungary not only to hide from the allies, but to help them create advanced defence structures which will form the first line of defense in the next war.

Country specific unit: Fortified battle bunker
Specs: it has more health, more room for infantry, and a small flak cannon on the top.
Replaces the original battle bunker.

Country speciality: again, defense structures build faster, or veteran defense structures

Yes i know, and i'm glad that you abandon that buggy [censored].
I hope Ares will contain less bugs than Npatch.
Too bad we don't have chronospheres and time travel in our reality. Or mass cloning.
Imagine that! You don't need to do anything, just send out your own clone who follows your every command, like: go to work, pay bills(with counterfeit money), etc.
Or travel forth in time, and play MO 3.0.
**sigh** but there are no clones, no time travel, so i need to go to work, and wait for 3.0.

Yeah, sorry for the double posting.
I'll be more careful next time.
About the mission: i just loaded a save from the previous mission(MO02 spring), completed it(again), and started white scars from the beginning.
It works now.
Seems that this mod has it's own will, and only works when it wants to.
OMG! It's self aware! Speeder created SkyNet! Run for yer lives!
Or it's just that stupid NPATCH again.

Good to hear.
Oh, and i finally completed that last mission.
Took me a few restarts, and loads, but i got it.

A question about the third Epsilon mission called white scars.
I gather the 5000 credits, after that i receive an MCV, and 2 miners.
I build every building i can while countering tank rushes, but i never get the psy dominator build option(or icon).
Is this a bug, or i should wait for a scripted event?
A few times encountered the same problem in one of the original RA2 missions though.
It was the mission when you had to construct a chronosphere in cuba and deal with the nukes, but sometimes the chronosphere build option never appeared.

edit: also, when i quit & restart the game, and load any Epsilon campaign, my control panel changes to the soviet one.
Loading it again fixes it.

Found some bugs in Allied mission 08-Devoted.
The chinese soldiers i encounter seems to be immune to the prism tank's beam, and the abrams's laser. They can only be killed by machine guns, or rockets.
Also, the Enforcers which i get as a reinforcement, fail to do any damage on structures and units. After loading the mission a few times though this problem dissapeared, but those chinese soldiers were still imune to my Prism tanks.
Using PSI patch 2.
