The mission for this Team vs Team night will be Operation Whirlwind, a new mission set on the Proving Grounds map of CUP Terrains.  It is a sector control mission.
 
SIGN UP HERE
 
BLUFOR is US Marines, OPFOR is Russian Spetsnaz.  Both teams have access to basic vehicles and one armored vehicle: for BLUFOR it's a LAV-25, for OPFOR it's a BTR-70.
 
Each team has 100 tickets.  There are four sectors to control.  Each time a player dies, their team loses a ticket.  Taking a sector restores 10 tickets.  The teams begin locked in their base; they have two minutes to prepare a plan, after which point barricades are removed, and they have 30 minutes to win the mission.
 
If all four sectors are taken by one side, the mission is over; if either side loses all its tickets, the mission is over; if the timer reaches 0, the mission is over.

So long overdue its here, the PTC-2(Public Test Candidate)
 
 
 
 
 
What's this?
 
Its a test to iron out and find any bugs in the current codebase of Valiant. Its testing of how it flows from mission start untill we have boots on ground and have captured the first airfield that starts the missions.
 
Caching of enemies, pre-init preloaded role specific VA to cut down on loading times ingame etc.
 
What this isn't
 
A finished product, as the name implies its a test candidate and it should be expected that stuff might break or no be as complete as you want it to be but I hope you see past that and play withing the constraints that are in the current form of the mission(Whining and general idiocy will be met with a shutdown of the server for the rest of the night.)
 
When is it ? 
 
I am aiming for 2000 GMT @ 9th April 
 
What do I need?
 
Standard EU3 modset and optional beer(Im bringing alot)
 
What does this acomplish?
 
Helps me get feedback on the current mission flow and evaluate if it is working as intended and in the long run help me give YOU a smooth (criminal?) mission to play on.
As if this test is non-eventful I hope to shift my attention to the feature side of things in the mission 
 
 
But I cant make it but want to watch?
 
Fear not, for as I need to run monitoring of stuff(s) in the background and generally whizz around in freecam and\or zeus ill be live streaming it. I will update here with the stream link(YT gaming) so that you can watch on anyone of the devices you own(or steal you friends tablet).

 
 
Afterwords
 
There will be no signup however treat this as a fully fledged gamenight with added strictness on fucking about as that steals a lot of time and will slow down the testing considerably. 
So I hope for a good turnup and hopefully everything will go smooth =) 

Purposed Saturday Night Gamenight!
 
Operation: Gauntlet v 0.42D
Map: Zargabad  Altis
Time of operation start: 7:00 PM GMT
Time of preparation: 6:30 PM GMT
 
Hello all, we will be playing the most upto version of Gauntlet for this gamenight. This Gamenight will sevre two purposes 1 to get people onto EU3 at a designed time so we can have a large force in play and 2 to allow new people to EU3 to squad up with experienced members and learn.
 
So if you've been wanting to try out EU3, or just have any questions, this gamenigt will hopefully allow you to have them answered.
There is the question of do you want training on the sign up form, if you select this then you will be put with experienced members of EU3 in order for you to be able to learn well playing.
 
Click here to sign up!
 
The roles are either leadership or for vehicles, if I've forgot something crucial please comment with the role you would prefer.
 
Arsenal will be allowed, along with join in progress. Sign up is key for those who want to take charge. Respawning is allowed, however units can only be deployed to the area of operation in waves, subject to commands approval. This is to simulate a re-enforcement system/to get rid of vortex transporting one guy.
 
Normal game night rules apply, if you can’t cope with waiting to get back into the area of operations or planning please to not join.

Where's the dislike button?

So I am guessing from stuff I have glanced on at the forums that there is a small(large?) need for info about Valiant.
Ill give a quick update about where its at now, what has happened since it was first started and where im currently at.
 
 
Since the first init of the codebase of valiant I have done :
 
60 commits during 106 days
Added: 20k lines of code( DAC and the way FSM is regarded in git subtracted roughly).
Removed: around 5k lines of code( DAC and the way FSM is regarded in git subtracted roughly).
 
Made some alterations in the way the FSMs act, fixed countless stray variables.
Added logging to all relevant states in the states off all mission currently in the framework to ease debugging.
 
There is currently 4 main missions and 2 side missions, more will be added but mission generating is on hold until my current 
feature is completed and tested in a AW TC (coming soon). 
 
Honestly a lot more work that I cant remember cause I probably suppressed cause headaches.
 
 
What im currently doing work in is a rewrite of the missions(completed) and other aspects of the mission to accompany 
diffrent modsets(ref units etc) so that when it goes public outside of AW. Users\communities have a mission param to 
select what modset they use. In the start this will be limited to RHS,CUP and Vanilla as those are the most mainstream IMO.
 
 
 
A Test Candidate will probably be tested on EU#3 in either this weekend or the next one. Ill see how much time I have to work on it tomorrow.
 
 
For now here are two pictures of the threats other than ambient you will face.
 
Positioning will be fixed.
