I think China would offer all sorts of possibilities. One idea that I toyed with at one point was a British LRRP operating out of Hong Kong and gathering intel in the areas surrounding the Colony, e.g. Shenzen and Guangzhou / Canton, which I figured would give the option for British, Gurkha, and Chinese characters.

You’ve got the possibility of local warlords, free cities, rogue military units that have turned marauder, stray Russians that really shouldn’t be there (traders, Spetznaz, shot down pilots), macguffins that need to be recovered, etc, etc. It would also work well with a Free Company type unit that could be working for as mercenaries for one or other of the warlords / merchants.

The India / Pakistan War. Could have something set up in Kashmir (my CEO is an ex Indian Army officer and he has some interesting tales to tell).

Then there’s Africa. In V1 I believe it’s pretty much a blank canvas. What happens in South Africa for example? Does Nelson Mandela get released and we see the transition to democracy that occurred IRL or does a continued Cold War mean the status quo continues? I’m inclined to think that the former is the more likely but what if the transition is less peaceful and the end result is some sort of Vortex style War involving multiple participants? And what happens in North Africa, e.g. Egypt, Libya 9I know Libya has a brief mention in Med Cruise)?

Plus everything that Heffe said about SE Asia.
