Hi All, Saturday is the 1 year anniversary of Mikael's passing. We thought it fitting to go beat up some CSAT in his memory. We will be hosting a series of Zeus mission on EU1 as a way to get together and have a little fun and remember Mikael. Hope to see you there Midnight

Thanks @Walk'N, It may be a little harder to use at it requires a change extra mods but I'm sure we could arrange a gamenight series using this at some stage. Once tested and working I will try plan a way to use it.

Part of the knowledge gained was the location of a senior Military officer in charge of the forces in the South West. More important we have intel on the location of his command and control assets. Destroying these will limit the ability of forces in the area to coordinate and respond to threats.

The Army are using rocket artillery very effectively and dealing casualties to the loyal government forces. Without a functional counterbattery radar it has been hard to locate these batteries but we have located one by backtracking the rockets passing over our HQ. Along with this we have intel on the location of a Insurgent supply cache in the area. We will destroy both of these targets and any other equipment we find along the way.

The next instalment of the CHADS franchise is starting next Friday, 4th November. In the small African nation of Anizay the Military has joined forces with a local insurgency to overthrow the democratic government.

Government forces have managed to hold control over what is being called the "Green Zone" which is the area in the North East. The UN and the African Nations are bogged down in bureaucracy and military aid is slow to be provided. Through back channels our partners have agreed to fund our activities in the region.

@JJ Cakes Some backend changes need to happen for this, just waiting on that to happen before we can test and deploy A change has been made to how garrisoning works which should help The amount of AA during low pop has been tweaked

@itsmemario Given that we are invading the island, having the main airbase under our control immediately didn't seem right, however we have added Striders at base and changed the AO selection process so it should get to Guardian faster. I think the fancy toys are what make Recon special and diluting this make the entire game more bland so, unfortunately this wasn't added The unflip action has been changed to avoid this and will be available on the next version launching this weekend

A implementation of this is currently being tested for the next version which should be on server over the weekend

If you build it, they will come

Hi @Kittenly, After reviewing logs and speaking to players some staff/players present at the time I have determined the following. On the day you had been warned several times by different admins about your behaviour being disruptive and you were subsequently kicked for behaviour in line with this. Following this kick you returned and were deemed to have been advertising by not just speaking of a hobby as you say but by posting a link to your paypal publicly on Side chat on server. Advertising is strictly against our rules and as such, following pervious warnings and a kick you were banned. Given this the ban is deemed appropriate, you may appeal again in 6 months. BAN APPEAL UNSUCCSESSFULL Edit: following repeated attempts to undermine this decision by contacting staff member for a way to "work something out" I have removed the option to appeal again in 6 months

Thanks, Will look into the suggestions and get back to you

Thanks to our local partners we have been able to locate the final Ukrainian serviceman. He is being held at an AAF military hospital. We will free him and deliver him to his homeland. However, we have two hurdles to cross before we can do that. Firstly we must disable the AA net covering the Northern part of the island. Finally, the airfield/aircraft set in place for the extraction has been garrisoned by AAF forces and will need to be cleared out. Assets: Indigenous vehicles and others acquired on site Friendly Forces: Local contacts Enemy Forces: Altis Armed Forces (our group has been marked as militants and will be engaged on sight) Unknown foreign agents with links to Wagner Group Neutral Forces: None Civilians: Civilian presence to be expected, concentrated in built up areas.

While we wait on further intel relating to the surviving serviceman we will continue to investigate the presence of foreign agents an dismantle the AA net which threatens international travel. Through the recovery of an intel pack from the Southern radar position we have discovered several key installations in the high level AA net. We will move to disable these sites and recover any further intel available.
