The 256 km2 Gabreta Terrain

This map depicts the southwestern border area of 1980s Czechoslovakia and West Germany. The vast border area divides the map into two different worlds.
This contribution of Czechoslovakia to the Iron Curtain stretches through a diverse terrain of rivers, valleys and mountains. Meeting your enemy on the field of battle will make you fight for both urban and country areas while operating from field camps, military bases and airfields.
If you get tired of fighting your enemies, you can just wander into the woods along tourist trails and visit various landmarks including a large castle, a dam, caverns, mines and other interesting places.

22 Scenarios

Experience the full potential of both armies' inventory. Battle Czechoslovak armored columns in your trusty Abrams tank. Lead a team of Special Forces on a combat patrol in enemy territory. Get together with a group of fellow players and liberate vast territories from the hands of other human players or AI.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS

The Arma 3 Creator DLC: CSLA Iron Curtain was created by CSLA Studio – originally founded in early 2001, the CSLA Studio team focused on the history of the Cold War era in Czechoslovakia from the very beginning. Putting thousands of hours into making community modifications as early as the first Arma game (Arma: Cold War Assault), the team earned the respect of the Arma community. Expanding and improving upon their experience, the team is now enriching Arma 3 with their Creator DLC.
