Thanks for the heads up, Dec. I just tried it out. It's a lovely island.

You can always trust the ADO to release great maps. They design them with online playing in mind, and try to make them light but still full of tactically interesting features to meet their online gaming requirements. Sbrodj is a good example. I played a couple of games with them on their maps in ArmA, they work a lot like the SimHQ team and so it's really no surprise you folks seem to like their maps so much

I'm also looking forward to the 'Isla Duala' WIP map, which looks like it could be fun as well. It's going to be more of an Africa-themed map which is always very fun to play in.

Cheers

Beautiful map.

December, mind posting where you got the Desert Marines and Guerillas from? That's a neat complete set for that map to have fun with.

Edit: I found Schnapsdrosels Desert USMC reskins, but these are only for Men, not any vehicles. Are that the units in your screenshot? Still looking for some Ts...

You can dl them at Armaholic

desert units
There are a few desert units that could be used, I just picked these guys at random.

There are also Arab civilians that will work with the island.

Thanks, appreciate it. This should be good for a bunch of small unit engagements or SpecOps stuff.

Appears the desert USMC are only infantry. So our vehicles would remain green, which is silly.

As well, if there is ever a good desert replacement pack for default infantry and vehicles, and a mission contains only addon desert infantry, they won't be reskinned, right?

the desert USMC is only local it replaces the camo on the units it doesn't make new class of unit.
Yes you would need the armor on both sides to change to desert. There is a replacement pack for west.

Now with a decent desert map there may be some desert camo units or reskins being made.

I would add that this map would be best played as RSColonel suggested "small unit engagements or SpecOps stuff". There would be no need for opfor. Terrorist units would be best. There is a terrorist mounted vehicle pack to complement the terrorist pack.

Isla Duala

Will be released soon, it has a savannah like landscape and twice as big as KIbrul
