Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Hello, guys and gals! Today I come to you with a poll about something that has been my wish for a long time. In this post I will explain what our idea is, how we will execute it and how you can also give a helping hand if you're available and like what you see. We want to spend more time playing the ArmA 3 game and in themes that have more diversity than just modern day combat - we would like to take the path less travelled in this unit and play a campaign, weekly, with the Second World War as a theme. The campaigns are supposed to last less than eight weeks but more than three so the players can get a sense of accomplishment without getting easily bored. We are also considering running a persistant 1944 liberation for the more hardcore players that would like to take arms more than one day per week and that might evolve to where we have enough active people to make it a biweekly event. We have a setup mod collection on Steam that is around18Gb (mods we already use in the 3rd ID) while still containing a lot of wiggle room for our intentions. A server will be hosted by SPC E.Piispanen until we, hopefully, develop something more permanent, but we feel that it has the necessary capability to host a weekly event (server was tested by running Antistasi). UPDATED 30NOV18: The collection is available in steam workshop if you want to give it a look: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1371358073 The missions wil,l of course, count with the help of Zeus (looking at you, people that love to be the master in Zeus) and we're always looking for experienced people to help us with that. Mission making, in general, is also one of the areas we will need help, although with our knowledge of WW2 and content available the initial missions shouldn't be to hard for us to pump out. Thanks for reading and I hope to fight alongside you in France; on the oceans and seas, in the air, on the beaches, on the landing grounds, on the fields, in the streets and on the hills!

Posted December 12, 2018 Sounds like fun, but if it requires all those mods that we don't regularly run, it won't be hosted on our server. (However, I suppose if you got a large enough following of members to agree to attend we could bend that rule) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2018 Wasn't that the original point of the RR server? Its what SGT Fransson had suggested and had approved. Signature Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 12, 2018 The original purpose of the R&R server was to host missions, not mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2018 Tbh, if this becomes a weekly thing, it'd be cool to see it hosted on our server... so far, the server is mostly shut down because nobody is using it.... But, if this will happen, I guess adding a few mods to the R&R server couldn't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 14, 2018 Firstly, let me apologize for the late reply as I had to spend the week in a neighboring unit of mine and the days were pretty filled with work. Secondly, as I've conversated with CPT Cantu before, this is in an embrio stage and I don't want to rush this, some testing on both member attendance and mission dynamics need to be done before commiting a unit asset. Nevertheless, I thank everyone's support, specially that of command staff and COE, for your suggestions and availability of the necessary resources that will definetily be used in the future after we're done with the issues on point 2.

Posted January 9, 2019 Any status on this, @CPL N.Moreira? I'd love to play some WW2 missions ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2019 I'd love to give you a timetable for this to start as much as you'd love playing it. However, as os visible on my service Record, I am LOA until February and cannot work on this any further before I return. Thanks for the interest shown and feel free to make any suggestions.

Posted March 18, 2019 Can we revive this? This seems like an amazing idea. I'm down to host a couple of missions, see how it goes for the unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 27, 2019 Update on this make sure whoever is over this little event to plan accordingly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2019 20 hours ago, CPT Q.Simmons said: Update on this make sure whoever is over this little event to plan accordingly I was planning to have this hosted 3-4 hours prior to squad drills so that it would maximize the possibility of attendance for both EU & NA people.
