God, imagine that mod in Vietnam.
 

Tactical overview

The remnants of NATO forces (combined US, British and Altian troops) are holding the airfield, but they are surrounded by Russian troops. They have a line of fortifications to the south and west, but they won't be able to hold on their own. There are still non-combat personnel in need of evacuating, their location will be relayed to you so you can prepare their extraction.
Situation is delevoping dynamically and additional information will be provided before you depart the ships.
 
The base is also housing a classified american facility known commonly as The Dome. It is a black site dedicated to conducting illicit operations focused primarily on monitoring or intercepting data relayed by spy sattelites of various countries, or even actively hacking into sattelite networks. The information stored in the data banks of the facility are critical in two ways - firstly, they are a significant asset for our war effort and could be an equally significant asset for the enemy, if captured. Secondly, many of the files are politically sensitive and may or may not involve countries that are neutral or allied - if the operation is revealed to the world, ot could cause us certain diplomatic difficulties.
The emergency procedures involve transferring critical data onto a mobile platform and wiping the local storage in a way that will make it impossible for enemy technicians to recover it. You must delay the fall of the base untill the process is completed. Afterwards, recover the mobile platform from The Dome and evacuate it to USS Gerald R. Ford. You will need to use a heavy helicopter to slingload the package, as such CH53 is mission-critical equipment.
 
After the non-combat personnel and the package are secure, evacuate your forces from Malden.
 
 
Carrier operations
You deploy on two ships: the carrier USS Gerald R. Ford and escorting destroyer USS Patrick Gallagher.
The armoury is located aboard the Patrick Gallagher and this should be considered the priamry infantry spawn at the beginning. However, after your gear is sorted it might be easier to depart from the carrier, depending on your reinsert plan. There are means for easy transfer of personnel between ships available.
Due to limited munitions, the anti-surface weaponry of the destroyer is restricted for self-defense, carrier protection and emergencies, as such you should not expect it to fire in support of the ground forces.
 
Pilots are expected to take necessary precautions during the flight operations, as deck park is in use. There is still more than enough space to conduct launch and recovery operations and taxi without assistance from deck crew.
Locations of servicing pads: 1 on each elevator, 1 on rotorcraft landing pad behind the island and 1 on the landing pad of the destroyer.
Landing strip is angled - when landing line up with the strip and not with the ship itself - this could result in crashing into parked aircraft.
Overlord will provide deck crew assitance with unfolding and moving rotorcraft as necessary.

@WinterMute you've been spoiled by Janxol. 
 
@Lindi im afraid I don't have the Ps skills necessary for that haha

At some point over the weekend the question was asked about how I found the MSO and this thread is the smoking gun, @whoever it was that was asking that question.
 
Not yet willing to "commit" to a persistent slot as my current sense of "how available I am on Arma" is a bit messed up due to The Incident, but Roma's cool.

Tell your mom Karen that I love her anyways. There's no such thing like herd immunity for a (modded) virus that just popped up 4 months ago. Still not sure about you being sarcastic...

Must say I'd voted for both contemporary and WW2 if that were allowed. The rest I would maybe recommend for special events, maybe not an entire campaign?

Sorry for your loss, but of course, there's no way we can know that and it has no bearing in this issue.
 
Arma has received bad press in the past for being used in ways it was not intended:
 
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2937641/ISIS-fighters-distributing-video-game-allows-players-play-role-Islamist-kill-Westerners.html
 
We have obviously been sensitive to that press and in no way wish to be caught up in anything untoward as a result.  If our administration actions result in false positives, this is an unfortunate side effect.  And the proper course of action is to make a ban appeal.

Lovin' this! Should be the last big operation on my current PC, aka Muckduck's old PC. She will be retiring hopefully next week. She's had a good run at an age of nearly 10 years.

January 15th 2019 was my first public server experience in Arma 3. EU1. I was miles out of my depth, but got hooked quickly. I haven't yet felt like I needed to go anywhere else in Arma. So from the perspective of someone who has never been in any of the admin type channels, it has looked like you've run a pretty tight ship with minimal bullshit rolling down to where us mooks would notice. No pressure on the next person!

This goes to @Mark T , @Lindi , @MidnightRunner and to @Norris you where always there when Support was needet. If it was a question or something else you where always there to help. I think this sort of support is the reason why Ahoyworld will have a great 2020 with peoples like you who make the comunity great again

I'm not all that good in the ideas behind a mission but I can help you out with the actual mission file, the loadouts, etc if you want

Fair enough. I think creativity and mission quality would suffer if you're finding it a dreadful chore and/or burning you out. That would make the ops toxic and generally ruin the fun. Do them as and when you feel like it's fresh - the historical turn out seems to indicate that Sunday evening is a good time to have an op and it would be cool if we stick to that as a general time slot for whenever one is run (extenuating circumstances notwithstanding)?
 
Also, I dunno who else is interested in the idea of making a mission - I have dicked around a tiny bit in EDEN and I dunno... are there any guides to mission building that are heartily recommended? It'd be cool to bung a mission up on a Sunday evening some time and with the help of an experienced spartan or 2, make y'all have a good skirmish.

@Tactical You are in a good position, the only way is up! ☝️

Just take a moment to listen and try to apply the stuff that works on our server. You will soon win the hearts of your passengers while providing reliable and continuous transport to the team.

Why are we talking KOTH here at all? I think we all agreed a few posts ago KOTH and I&A is worlds apart?

 

What is the button for naruto running?
 
I'm in, if I can get my PC to stop BSOD'ing during Arma...

Oh, cool, I found my stats from the first time I ever played on EU1. 15th January 2019. Been just over half a year. Flippin nora.

I'm a solid "maybe" for the first event. Future ones are more certain.

I signed up, it'll be interesting to see how movement is different with human enemies...
