Act 1 - Prelude to a Nightmare
Part 3
 
           
           
            The situation is stable for now, but it won't remain that for long. As worrying news reach Altian high command, they realize they must make their move. The insurgent leaders that were captured during recent operation were persuaded to reveal vital information about the strength and plans of the insurgency. None of them were high enough rank to know all the details, but the information will prove valuable in the upcoming operation. Unfortunately the Freedom's liaison couldn't be captured which means our information regarding Freedom's own operations is still very limited. Regardless, we have received some worrying news as well. Freedom is bringing in more and more people and equipment into the archipelago, particularly Altis. It appears they are committed to civil war on Altis, even bringing in some commanders, whose names are well known to the world. Some of them are supposed to already be on the island, with others scheduled to arrive in the near future. One name in particular, the man known as The Templar, is especially worrying. He is one of the best - if not the best - Freedom's commanders and the fact he's coming to Altis can only mean one thing: things are bound to get a lot worse.

            The Altian command made the decision that the time to strike is now, and push back the insurgents from the territories they're terrorizing. Intel provided by captured insurgent leaders indicates that they are preparing for our offensive and that they are aided by Freedom's troops in this effort. While we do not have full information on Freedom's own operations, it appears that a field commander known as The Watcher - a well known figure - is in command of Freedom's forces in the area, where the offensive will take place.

            Additionally, during the operation to capture insurgent leaders our forces found and freed an altian officer captured by the insurgents. He revealed that he was brutally interrogated by both insurgents and Freedom's troops and for whatever reason they seemed to be particularly interested in Altian anti-air installations. It is also clear that insurgents have been busy gathering intel on our moves, bases and supply lines.

            Once more Russia offered help to Altian government, but this time also expressed deep concern about the presence of US troops. In the international waters surrounding Altis destroyer USS Patrick Gallagher narrowly avoided a collision with Russian missile frigate after both ships refused to give way.

            The Altian clock still shows 3 minutes to midnight...

           

 

 
The Assets
Player faction: Altian military
Player slots: 30
- PLATCO - 4 man command element
- 3 Infantry Squads - Alpha, Bravo, Charlie - 8-man each (4-man fireteam, 3-man maneuver team + engineer - effectively two 4-man fireteams)
- Vortex - Pilot and Co-pilot
 
- 1x Mi-24V attack helicopter
- Mi-8 transport helicopters
 
- 1x M113 APC
- Various wheeled transport vehicles
 
The mission
The goal is to push back the insurgents before they have too much time to dig in and bring in support. The primary objective is to capture the nearby field airfield, but there are bound to be other enemy installations or camps in the area. Expect heavy resistance. Insurgents will be supported by Freedom forces and our intel indicates they are under command of a field commander (colonel equivalent in Freedom's structure) known as The Watcher*. During the operation American destroyer USS Patrick Gallagher will be available to provide long range fire support if needed.

Hope to see you there!
 
 
 
 
*Note: This is the first mission where you face a custom enemy commander. Each commander is different and his command style will influence composition and actions of enemy forces. With that said it's not necessarily harder. Some of them are easier to defeat than others, some excel in certain scenarios. More will be explained before the mission.

The first and obvious benefit was increased players numbers. 

As an admin / mod that obviously also means an increased workload. Apart from the obvious trouble makers and the dealing there off I sincerely hope that the new guys trying out Arma 3 also saw that the staff team was working hard to maintain fluent game play. How to measure this is a different matter tho, I'm sure many of the players during the free weekend hopped servers and sampled what Arma 3 has to offer and they might never visit this forum.
 
P.S. I'm obviously not a FW (Free Weekender?) so I opt out of the DLC draw!

This is becoming kind of really addicting. Had a good time on the last missions and looking forward to this and following ones. I enjoyed driving the 'heavy element' MRAP last time and would love some good infantry/vehicle combined ops with the M113 again. 
 
Very good job on that storyline Janxol.

Bumped in to quite a few good players and players that were willing to learn so just provided them with any help and questions I could answer, they also seemed to like the Zeus missions I made. Overall no more trouble than usual when I was on. Hope we get some of the good players sticking around.

This  is a topic for people that played on AW EU1# while the free weekend was live (17.01-20.01)
in order to voice up with ratings, made experiences, feedback and alike.
 
I'm actually curious if all that madness has lasted us any benefit.
I met some nice people, some crazy nubkins and a shitload of reasons to not stop drinking and smoking when playing EU1#.
 
 

Out of all FWs posting here I ll pick one winner and I ll pay him/her a ARMA 3 DLC of his/her choice!!!
(females get 150%bonus on my pick)

Go! Go! Go!

Lets play!

@Lindi yea the balancing will have to change to match the new pacing, as Zeus I'll have to deal with that.
It's not a massive change but still something that I have to be aware of when setting up a mission.
Don't worry though, you will still be scared to go back into the jungle
 

Yea, if you just could join the Dark side..
That'be great!
 

First insertion & RTB and yes, when we RTB'd I did loose sight of Gambit for a sec, gave me some sweaty palms

Nah only when you win... it's the smell of victory

Aren't you supposed to smell it, in the morning?  

Aren't you supposed to smell it, in the morning?  

The Altian guerrilla is in great desideratum of more guerrilla-ish apparel for guerrilla operations on 'em forces on I&A 3.

Consequently, we require more attire such as Syndikat clothes to match our AKs and RPGs to coalesce in with our natural habitat as we storm the AAF, CSAT and civilians with pride for the more preponderant good of Altis' future.
 
thank, peace out.

Dont worry, it probably won't be a night mission. At some point though, definitely.

People wanted this to continue and so this is the beginning of the War for Altis modded campaign.

Act 1 - Prelude to a Nightmare
 
            There are still many who dare not utter the words "civil war", but few words can be better used to describe situation on Altis. The insurgents are clearly more bold, more aggressive than they've been until now. It is clear they feel confident. It is clear they have support from outside. The conflict is very likely to escalate and Altian military must be prepared for anything that the insurgency may have in store.

            The true battle is fought for the hearts and minds of the civilians. The insurgents hoped they could harass the population without impunity. That those who cannot be convinced can be forced to submit. That those who will not submit can be eliminated. However, they have met with strong resistance from the Altian army, determined to protect the people. The Altian army responded to increased insurgent activity with their own operation, and despite difficult terrain, they were successful in driving the insurgents back and saving many civilian lives. Many insurgents were killed and a lot of their equipment was destroyed and it was thought that this victory would greatly reduce insurgent activity in the region. Now it becomes clear that the insurgents and the supplies they receive have been underestimated.

            Altian army secured intel strongly indicating that Freedom is in fact assisting insurgents with weapon shipments, troop training and intel gathering. Now it is up to the higher-ups to convince Epsilon and UN of the gravity of the situation. After preliminary talks it is apparent that while they do not reject this evidence, they are reluctant to act on it. Most likely the reason of their concerns is the situation with Russia and fear of escalating it further. Meanwhile, the supplies from USA and UK start arriving on the island and the first batch of troops is scheduled to arrive soon after.

            Russia luckily took no strong action so far, though their offer of "help" is still on the table and they "insist" that they are allowed to help the Altian people. The Russian forces in the region are on high alert, but they do stay clear of Altian territorial waters, for now at least, coming just close enough that their presence cannot be ignored and just far enough that they abide all international laws.

            While the insurgents and their sponsors are still the real threat, Russia's gaze can be felt across the island, like silence before the storm that threatens to descend upon Altis.

            The Altian clock still shows two minutes to midnight...

The mission
The Insurgents are targeting the infrastructure in the region. We must prevent the destruction of infrastructure and loss of lives of any civilians found in the crossfire. The area should be searched for any camps the insurgents may operate from. We should also be on the lookout for any opportunities of gaining intel, be it in the field or through interrogation of higher-ranking insurgents.

Hope to see you there!

Thank you for your request @gustis40g , and an apology that it has taken this long to get back to you.
 
After reviewing this request with the Public Moderation team, we have decided to implement the Xian at the AAC airfield FOB, in replacement for the pawnee that currently spawns there. WIth this, the Xian will still have some rarity, as the FOB is required, but otherwise it will be much more common, as your requests insists. The xian that will spawn at AAC will be unarmed, in an attempt to mitigate Uncalled CAS.

Very positively surprised by getting friendlies and most helpful! Thank you for your vote!

Hi @lazyboy__gaming
 
Recruiting is strictly forbidden by the rules of AhoyWorld. After reviewing the ban report you tried to recruit pretty much everyone on the server at the time, including admins. 
 
I'm willing to take a look at this again in about 4 months time, you may submit a new ban appeal in April.
 
Until then; BAN APPEAL UNSUCCESSFUL. 

Hi Ahoyworld members, My name is Parker and i played on these servers over a year ago before i took an extensive break, Hopefully now i am back and i will be playing regularly on the EU1 server as a medic, See you all on the Battlefield

Very positively surprised by getting friendlies and most helpful! Thank you for your vote!

Sounds like we are ready for 2020!

(stealth bump!)

Hey All,
 
The EU2 Vietnam Friday missions will be taking a break until the 10th January 2020.
 
This week I am snowed under in work, next week is Christmas and the week after I have an exam on the Saturday, so I really should spend the Friday studying.
 
Following this break, we will return for the final mission of the Air Cavalry deployment and then we will move on to a more conventional infantry force, modelled after the 1st Infantry Division using armoured vehicles and such. This will allow us to do missions which didn't fit right with the Air cavalry ethos. 
 
As always, if you have any questions or suggestions send them to me.
 
Looking forward to seeing you in January, hope everyone enjoys their Christmas now that you don't have to worry about the trees whispering for a while.
