So as we have only one week left in the Vietnam missions, it's probably about time I finally put up this post. The next campaign, starting either the 17th or 24th April will be a PMC style campaign. We will be playing as a small PMC outfit, in a modern setting, operating in contemporary conflict zones, completing various missions for different national and non national bodies. The idea is that using the same modset (save for the map) we can complete operations in different theatres, on different continents using different gear against different enemies. It gives us a large scope for mission design and allows for the more small scale PMC style operations. Needless to say we will not be seeking to engage in pitched battles with the enemy but will favour small unit tactics, emphasis will be on executing the task quickly and extracting before the enemy can fully mobilise against us. First Deployment Setting We will first be starting in Afghanistan using equipment easily available in that area. Equipment will be mainly western in origin, with items from America, Britain, Belgium and others. While not limited to these items, they were the most accessible in this region. Modlist The attached HTML is the current modlist. This is 99% confirmed but is still subject to change based on final testing. Arma 3 Preset PMC OPs.html As always if you have any questions, comments or suggestions let me know, happy to answer. Midnight

Yea, Sorry I didn't think about the time change. I'll look at moving it next week to 17.30UTC so that it is the same local time for most people.

@Schubz That's a really good mission I've about 30 hours in that alone when I was learning to fly

Hey! Welcome. We have plenty of experienced pilots here who are generally happy to help. If you have any questions just ask. One of the members of the community even created a guide for new pilots. You can find it here: https://forums.ahoyworld.net/topic/11950-guide-transport-helicopter-guide/ Hope to see you in game.

Hey All, There will be no Unsung mission this Friday. I have a family engagement to attend so will not be around. Missions will resume next week. We have 3 missions left in Vietnam before we move to our next campaign. I will have details of this for you in the next few days. Later, Midnight

@Lindi "Do as I say, not as I do" haha

I noticed the lucky helmet kept you safe

Thanks @Karate Pyjamas appreciate it.

@Walk'N between you wanting French units and others wanting BAF units I have a lot to include haha @Lindi Good shout, I'll keep that in mind, we can always do a WW2 campaign at a later date.

Hey All, Since we have just 4-5 weeks left in Vietnam, it is time to start looking at what will be our next campaign. I have been looking at several options some of which I have done a bit of work creating templates & campaign ideas. That said I want to know what you guys want to play. Before I give the options in the poll I want to list some obvious exclusions from the options and the reasons for this. 1. Iron Front A3, the WW2 mod. I left this out as we are currently running a historical campaign and I didn't think going straight into another was a great idea 2. Star Wars: Opposition. Mod is not available on steam, the mouse don't play games with copyright, which would require players to source it online or AW to host it, which is just asking for trouble. Obviously neither option is ideal. I will revisit this option if a better solution becomes available. Links to the main mod for each option: HALO: Operation Trebuchet Starship Troopers: Opposition Mass Effect: Opposition Aftermath: The Fallout mod Warhammer 40k: There is Only War For anything I've missed or any comments please leave them below or send to me directly. Thanks, Midnight
