More and more people are joining this Discord, and we want to know who you are, if like us you enjoy spending too much time on Google Sheets and most importantly: How are you playing the mod ? You can answer the last question in this very handy poll:
I have a problem. After Installing the mod the names, cards and icons do change but none of the stats change. Also from what I remember from the previous iterations of this mod 1991 some units are missing or at least not where they should be.

The Gulf War of 1991 heralded a new type of warfare that was characterised by astonishing speed and high technology with remarkably low numbers of casualties amongst the coalition forces. Just under a million coalition personnel were deployed to the Gulf region to face a variety of threats from extreme temperatures to weapons of mass destruction (biological, chemical and suspected nuclear) and a formidable Iraqi occupation force. This book assesses the defensive Operation Desert Shield (the build up of coalition forces) and the offensive Operation Desert Storm (the liberation of Kuwait) as well as the key personalities on both sides.
WrestleWar '91 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on February 24, 1991 from the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona in the United States. This was the first PPV not produced under the National Wrestling Alliance banner. In 2014, WrestleWar '91 was made available for streaming on the WWE Network.
The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[2]
The opening bout was a tag team match putting Eddy Guerrero and Ultraman against Huichol and Rudy Boy, with Guerrero and Ultraman winning. This was a dark match which did not air on the pay-per-view broadcast.
The second bout was a six-man tag team match for the WCW World Six-Man Tag Team Championship with Ricky Morton, Tommy Rich and Junkyard Dog defending against Big Cat and The State Patrol (Lt. James Earl Wright and Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker). Morton, Rich, and Junkyard Dog retained their titles when Morton (whom at the time was not the legal wrestler for his team) pinned Parker using a big splash.
After the second bout there was a promo segment where Alexandra York indicated that she wanted to expand the York Foundation. She then stated that the York Foundation computer predicted that fellow member Terry Taylor would win his match before 15 minutes and 20 seconds had elapsed during the match.
Following the fifth bout, a skit aired in which Missy Hyatt entered the male locker room to carry out interviews, only to be chased out by Stan Hansen (a reference to an incident in the New England Patriots' locker room involving Lisa Olson that took place in September 1990).
The sixth bout was a tag team match pitting The Royal Family (Jack Victory and Rip Morgan) against The Young Pistols (Steve Armstrong and Tracy Smothers). The match ended when The Royal Family attempted to give Smothers a double suplex, only for Armstrong to dropkick them resulting in Smothers landing atop Morgan and pinning him. The power to the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum went out during the match.[3]
Following the seventh bout, Paul E. Dangerously (dressed as a matador) interviewed the Argentinean wrestler El Gigante. After Dangerously repeatedly insulted Latin Americans, El Gigante gave him a body slam.
The ninth bout saw WCW United States Heavyweight Champion Lex Luger defend his title against Dan Spivey. Luger pinned Spivey using a cradle to retain his title. Following the match, supposedly retired wrestler Nikita Koloff and Grizzly Smith, came to the ring to present Luger with a new United States championship, only for Koloff to attack Luger.[1][4][5][6]
The tenth bout saw WCW World Tag Team Champions Doom (Butch Reed and Ron Simmons) defend their titles against The Freebirds (Jimmy Garvin and Michael Hayes). The Freebirds won the titles after Reed accidentally struck Simmons with a foreign object, enabling Garvin to pin him. After the match Reed and manager Teddy Long turned on their longtime partner Ron Simmons, ending Doom as a team and allowing Ron Simmons to become a "face" in the eyes of the fans.[1][4][5][6] Due to WCW's television taping schedule the Fabulous Freebirds had already wrestled a match against The Steiner Brothers where they lost the championship six days prior to the PPV, but the match had not yet aired on TV.[7]
The main event was a War Games match pitting Sting, Brian Pillman, and The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) against The Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Sid Vicious) and Larry Zbyszko) (Zbyszko was not a member of the Horsemen but brought in as a replacement for Arn Anderson who was injured at the time.)[4] The match ended after Sid Vicious repeatedly powerbombed Brian Pillman, including at least one powerbomb where Pillman's head legitimately hit the roof of the cage. Unable to continue El Gigante came to the ring and surrendered the match on Pillman's behalf.[1][4][5][6]
Dave Meltzer wrote in the March 4, 1991 issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the show was the best he'd seen live since 1989's The Great American Bash.[3] Meltzer referred to the War Games match as one of the best he'd ever seen live. A fan vote in the same issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter had 221 out of 227 fans give the show a thumbs up. The other six votes were thumbs down. Meltzer noted at that point that the 97.3% thumbs up rate was the third best in the history of the poll, only behind 100% for 1989's WrestleWar and 99.8% for 1989's Clash of the Champions IX. An updated count in the March 11 issue had 522 thumbs up votes, 33 thumbs down votes, and 2 in between votes.[8]
In a March 11 poll, the War Games match received the majority of votes for the show's best match, with 428. The match for the WCW World Six-Man Tag Team Championship received the most votes for the worst match of the night with 153; the tag match between The Young Pistols and The Royal Family received 129 votes for the night's worst match.[8]
Soon after helping defeat Fascist tyranny in World War II, American sailors faced a new global threat to the United States and the values for which their nation had long been a standard bearer; democracy, basic human rights, and freedom. The USSR, under a murderous dictator, Joseph Stalin, acted to solidify the wartime conquests of the Soviet Red Army and advance the cause worldwide of Marxism Leninism, an ideology that subverted the very ideals most Americans then held sacred.
Working with local Communist leaders and movements in the years after the war, Stalin eliminated the political and economic independence of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and other nations in Eastern Europe. He put diplomatic and military pressure on Turkey and Iran in the Middle East and supplied war material to Communists fighting to overthrow the government of Greece. In 1948, the Soviets sparked a confrontation with the United States and its European allies over control of Berlin, the occupied and divided capital of the defeated German nation.
In the Far East, regional Communist movements took the lead, but received military assistance from Moscow in efforts to eliminate opposing movements and governments. Ho Chi Minh led Vietnamese Communists and other nationalists against the French colonial government in Indochina. Kim Il Sung and his Korean Communist supporters engaged in a vicious struggle for political control of the Korean people with Syngman Rhee and his anti-Communist adherents. In 1949, Mao Tse-tung and his Chinese Communist armies pushed the forces of the Chiang Kai-shek government off the mainland of Asia and established the People's Republic of China.
The United States, under the leadership of President Harry S. Truman, had already taken economic, political, and military steps to deal with the new threat posed by the Soviet Union and its allies. American taxpayers provided billions of dollars to restore the war-ravaged economies of Western Europe, under the Marshall Plan, and the similarly devastated Japanese economy. The U.S. government strengthened political ties with many like-minded anti-Communist governments around the globe. Finally, the Truman administration adopted a broad "Containment Strategy," in simplest terms a major effort to build a wall around the Communist world that would be defended by the armed might of the United States and its allies.
The United States Navy, its warships and aircraft--and above all its sailors-- guarded the ramparts of the containment wall from the beginning of the so-called "Cold War" to its victorious end. Soon after Stalin pressed Turkey and Iran for territorial and other concessions in 1946, Truman dispatched battleshipMissouri (BB-63), an unmistakable symbol of American military power, to the Eastern Mediterranean. He wanted to make clear his determination that the United States would oppose aggressive Soviet actions. With establishment of the U.S. Sixth Task Fleet (later simply the U.S. Sixth Fleet) and creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1949, it became clear to most observers that the United States meant to stand by its friends in the region.
President Truman moved decisively to defend American and allied interests in the Far East when Kim Il Sung's North Korean armed forces, equipped with Soviet tanks, artillery, and combat aircraft, invaded the Republic of (South) Korea on 25 June 1950. The commander in chief ordered U.S. air, ground, and naval forces to help South Korean and other United Nations forces resist the Communist attack. He also directed the U.S. Seventh Fleet based at Subic Bay in the Philippines to prevent the war from spreading to the waters and islands off China, where Chiang Kai-skek continued his fight against the Communist mainland government. Aircraft carrier Valley Forge (CV-45), the heavy cruiser Rochester (CA-124), and eight destroyers sortied from Subic Bay in the Philippines and made a show of force along the China coast. The presence of these Seventh Fleet forces off China deterred the Communists from launching a long-planned amphibious assault on Chiang's stronghold on the island of Taiwan. Truman's bold actions can also be credited with influencing Stalin to take back an earlier pledge to Mao of Soviet air support in Korea. For the rest of the Korean War, Seventh Fleet submarines, land-based patrol aircraft, and carrier task forces kept watch on the seas around Asia to discourage the USSR and the People's Republic of China from intervening in Korea with their naval forces.
