Fixed timing issues at mission start that was causing Kilpyavr to go into a captured state. Cleaned up logging functions. Fixed capture zone unit counting error. Other cool stuff. :)

+# Dual Coalition Zone Capture - Full Analysis & Changes
+
+## Summary
+The script has been refactored to provide **complete parity between RED and BLUE coalitions**. Both sides now have equal access to all features, information, and victory conditions.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Changes Made for Full Dual-Coalition Support
+
+### 1. **Tactical Markers** (Lines ~390-440)
+**BEFORE:** Only BLUE coalition received tactical markers
+**AFTER:** Both RED and BLUE receive separate tactical markers
+- Each coalition sees enemy unit positions (when ≤10 units)
+- Markers are coalition-specific and read-only
+- Uses `TacticalMarkerID_BLUE` and `TacticalMarkerID_RED` for tracking
+
+### 2. **Victory Conditions** (Lines ~490-600)
+**BEFORE:** Only checked for BLUE victory
+**AFTER:** Both coalitions can win
+- BLUE Victory: All zones captured → "BLUE_VICTORY" flag set
+- RED Victory: All zones captured → "RED_VICTORY" flag set
+- Each side gets appropriate celebration effects (smoke colors, flares)
+- Proper victory/defeat messages for both sides
+
+### 3. **Zone Status Reports** (Lines ~710-740)
+**BEFORE:** Only BLUE received status broadcasts
+**AFTER:** Both coalitions receive status reports
+- Each coalition sees their specific victory progress percentage
+- Same zone ownership data, customized messaging per coalition
+
+### 4. **Victory Progress Monitoring** (Lines ~745-780)
+**BEFORE:** Only warned BLUE when approaching victory
+**AFTER:** Both sides get symmetric warnings
+- BLUE approaching victory (80%+) → BLUE gets encouragement, RED gets warning
+- RED approaching victory (80%+) → RED gets encouragement, BLUE gets warning
+
+### 5. **F10 Radio Menu Commands** (Lines ~840-900)
+**BEFORE:** Only BLUE had F10 menu access
+**AFTER:** Both coalitions have identical F10 menus
+- "Get Zone Status Report" - Shows current zone ownership
+- "Check Victory Progress" - Shows their specific progress percentage
+- "Refresh Zone Colors" - Forces zone border redraw
+
+### 6. **Zone Color Refresh Messages** (Line ~835)
+**BEFORE:** Only BLUE notified when colors refreshed
+**AFTER:** Both coalitions receive confirmation message
+
+### 7. **Mission Definitions** (Lines 52-88)
+**BEFORE:** Only BLUE mission defined
+**AFTER:** Both coalitions have missions
+- BLUE: "Capture the Airfields" (offensive mission)
+- RED: "Defend the Motherland" (defensive mission)
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Features Now Available to BOTH Coalitions
+
+| Feature | BLUE | RED |
+|---------|------|-----|
+| Mission Objectives | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Tactical Markers (enemy positions) | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Zone Status Reports | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Victory Progress Tracking | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Victory Conditions | ✅ | ✅ |
+| F10 Menu Commands | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Zone Color Indicators | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Capture/Attack/Guard Messages | ✅ | ✅ |
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+Mission makers can now set up asymmetric scenarios by configuring the `ZONE_CONFIG` table:
+
+```lua
+local ZONE_CONFIG = {
+  RED = {
+    "Kilpyavr",
+    "Severomorsk-1",
+    -- ... more zones
+  },
+  
+  BLUE = {
+    "Banak",  -- Example: BLUE starting zone
+    "Kirkenes"
+  },
+  
+  NEUTRAL = {
+    "Contested Valley"  -- Starts empty
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎮 Gameplay Impact
+
+### Balanced Competition
+- Both sides can now win by capturing all zones
+- Victory celebrations are coalition-specific (blue/red smoke & flares)
+- Mission end triggers coalition-specific flags
+
+### Equal Information Access
+- Both coalitions see enemy positions in contested zones
+- Both receive periodic status updates
+- Both have access to F10 menu commands
+
+### Symmetric Design
+- All event handlers work equally for both sides
+- Messages are dynamically generated based on zone ownership
+- No hardcoded coalition bias anywhere in the code
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Technical Notes
+
+### Global Variables Used
+- `US_CC` - BLUE coalition command center
+- `RU_CC` - RED coalition command center
+- Both must be defined before loading this script
+
+### User Flags Set on Victory
+- `BLUE_VICTORY` = 1 when BLUE wins
+- `RED_VICTORY` = 1 when RED wins
+
+### Storage Structure
+- `zoneCaptureObjects[]` - Array of zone capture objects
+- `zoneNames[]` - Array of zone names
+- `zoneMetadata{}` - Dictionary with coalition info
+- All zones accessible via table iteration (no global zone variables)
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Migration from Old Script
+
+If migrating from `Moose_CaptureZones.lua`:
+
+1. **Update zone configuration** - Move zone names to `ZONE_CONFIG` table
+2. **Remove manual zone creation** - The loop handles it now
+3. **No code changes needed** for existing trigger zones in mission editor
+4. **F10 menus now available** to RED players automatically
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Benefits of Refactoring
+
+1. **Easy to configure** - Simple table instead of repetitive code
+2. **Coalition agnostic** - Works equally for RED/BLUE/NEUTRAL
+3. **Maintainable** - Zone logic centralized in loops
+4. **Extensible** - Easy to add new features for both sides
+5. **Balanced** - True dual-coalition gameplay
+
+---
+
+*Last Updated: Analysis completed with full dual-coalition parity*
