I'd been wanting to work on a new mission last week, but had no time. I spent a good while backing up my files ahead of a format and install of Windows 7 this week. All my Arma2 mission building files are backed up on three separate external media.

Tonight I will see about running one or two of our armor missions, along with whatever else hasn't been played much lately.

See you there!

Stupid question but I couldn't find the answer quickly: When do you start?

Hi, 8pm eastern both Monday and Thursday.

Thanks adlabs6!

I should be there.

What super gameplay! Good job on the comms, and the leadership/teamwork was excellent too.

Thanks guys!

I agree! The second mission in particular, "SHQ MEU Raid 02 (24)", in which Fatty was Squad Leader was, for me, one of the best ArmA II experiences I've had so far! I was spectator during the first mission while waiting for the player count to equalize, and I had advised Adlabs to go over comms discipline for the number of new players that joined us tonight, and everything went as smooth as you could expect from that point on! Comms were tight and Fatty did an excellent job assigning mission orders for the duration of the mission w/ minimal casualties! Almost all of my screenshots from tonight are from the second mission, which lasted for 1h, 15 min.

I'll post my screenshots as soon as I'm done goin' through 'em!

Thanks guys, I had a lot of fun leading it, everyone - not just the team leaders - did great. I wish we could have gotten through it more quickly but considering I think we only stayed still for a few minutes at a time, we did pretty well and kept up the momentum.

Yep, we were never really stalled. The ambient combat module fed us nearly perfectly timed contacts leading between the objectives.

This type of info really needs to be stickied.

Just put that info in the existing sticky.

Magnum will have to make that edit.

Yep, that was a great all-around mission! Lots to do - that ambient module worked out pretty good.

Have to remember next time to save ammo as much as possible...
Since I think all the HummVees ran out before we completed everything.

I was actually swaping weapons with a dead insurgent when the mission ended...cause I was dry!

great gameplay guys! I had a bad night and kept getting killed due to poor decisions but had a lot of fun.
During the long mission (with the humvees) i grabbed a pickup after respawing and cruised around looking for the team (not shown on map) and eventually found everyone right at the end.

Had a lot of fun as alpha on the quickie rescue mission... thanks for the great teamwork.

After trying out operation Flashpoint 2 I really appreciate what an awesome game ARMA 2 is... just the design of the controls,the mind-boggling hugeness of the map and the overall immersion makes it a truly great game that really raises the bar.

thanks for the great night.

Hey guys, sorry I could only stay for a short while. Until my untimely demise on the only Mission I played in with HUMVEES into town and beyond, I thought that was most enjoyable, well commanded and controlled and pretty disciplined. good radio procedures...good stuff, only goes to enhance the experience. Should be around Thursday, and the 8pm Eastern makes it a bit more civilised over the pond :-) (till daylight savings kicks in I guess)

I gotta say, for as many new players we had on Military Monday, we only needed to go over radio discipline once. That just goes to show you the type of players SimHQ tends to attract!
