Mission Summary Every Wednesday, we turn a regular bout of Liberation around to show off what we can do when we put our minds to it. You can expect a solid experience with high emphasis on teamwork and structure, with an established Chain of Command formed before the mission and staff supporting it all. These are the days when we push for harder objectives or complex operations in combined arms, or try things we normally would not.

If we expect the teams to coordinate semi-autonomously, this is basically required. As Alpha TL I found myself wanting to talk to you a lot more, because we could absolutely have streamlined our tasks. But I either couldn't for a lack of transmission time on 30, or didn't want to because I know how it is to have irrelevant chatter on your ear and really felt for Siege and B/D.

Hi! I've come to update the guide. It's nothing like before. Some might argue it's better. I'll argue it consumed about a week of my life scouring the ACE medical PBOs for juicy facts. Please do enjoy. It still needs some good graphics to outline a typical emergency treatment procedure, but for now, please refer to Stan's flowcharts here:

Is this thing still on?

In Stiletto 61, the radio jammer mission is still bugged. On separate occasions, we used satchels, GBUs and MAAWS to destroy the dome, but neither the mission nor the jamming effect ended. I kept forgetting to disable script errors, but beyond a spammy one about the dynamic groups and team leadership nothing related to the mission came up. Executing a line of code that mysteriously vanished from my logs fixes the issue, but the mission has to be aborted.

Are you looking for beauty shots as well? I got plenty of those, too. Album of decidedly hideous things: https://imgur.com/a/Th4hvzi Editor's picks:

Mostly because Arma. The game engine doesn't work with weights in terms of grams or pounds, but units of volume imitating mass. The space occupied determines the weight of the item, but they are inextricably linked, and all that mod devs can do is adjust the formula to follow for a given mass-volume unit of an item. This means a really high-mass, low-volume item like a rocket or mine would have to tend to one end, but neglect realism for the other. It's - again - a balance issue. Edit: RHS even wrote a blog post about it: http://www.rhsmods.org/b/8

I wondered where you'd gone, Jasman! Last I remember we talked in the back of a car with Gandalf on Takistan, feeling the tingly feels as we crested the hill overlooking our beloved mess of an AO. Lots has changed since, and you'd do best to see for yourself because frankly I have not a clue what was the latest chic when you last played. It's a feisty little thing, this AWE. It won't go under so easily. It kicks and squirms and possibly projectile-vomits all sorts of stringy goo over your back when you hug it, but it's here and we love it for all its faults. Come and stay, make it that little bit better that way.

Someone's gone trainspottin'.

Protect your ears: audio on AWE just got that tad bit better. For those who want it. After a successful trial run of both DS & ES, we've decided to keep the keys on the server as entirely client-side mods. This is optional and not a requirement, so if you prefer the default sounds or your machine can't handle the modded ones, nothing will change for you. For now, the installation of Dynasound 2 and Enhanced Soundscape lies entirely in your hands. You can find them on the Steam Workshop here and here. We explicitly do not support these mods. If your FPS tanks, especially when using ES, that's an issue you will have to deal with yourself. Still, feel free to report and troubleshoot for the community's benefit. Enjoy the immersion. Cheers AWE Steering

Please welcome with me our latest addition to the Steering Committee: Hobnob! As of yesterday and after some deliberation, Hobs has joined Steering as a player and our third member. We felt that a regular player's perspective could positively help us steer this ship and directly link to the goings-on of the server. That is all. Steering

So I watched a couple of your videos and just had to look up the game on Steam. Heard of it before, but never really knew what it's about. Turns out I had it set to 'Not interested'. Now it's on my wishlist.

Sounds like as good a time as any to break in the combat boots. Just give me a rifle and a shovel and I promise not to be a kid on the playgrounds.

I share that sentiment. I'm so glad that freelook is bound to LAlt by default, too, as that's probably one of my most used buttons next to movement keys and pressing it has become intuitive. Feels odd, still, to play such a similar game with yet such a vastly different feel to Arma. So far I've missed out on the good stuff that's been going on, but I'm dying to jump in some time.
