Ota Vrťátko informed us about the release of Arma Tactics, a turn-based close-combat strategy game.
Quote : Arma Tactics THD takes the best from the popular strategy genre... and goes mobile. The finest assets used in the critically acclaimed Arma™ series on PC now come to life on the Android mobile platform, in one of the best looking mobile games to date.
Arma Tactics THD is a turn-based close-combat strategy game, where the player takes control of a four-member Special Forces team. There are no given strategies, rails to move on, or paths to follow; it‘s up to the player to decide how he will play through both the story-driven missions and generated missions with randomized objectives. Whether using stealth or a more direct approach, players will need to use their strategic thinking and use both basic and advanced weaponry while facing many different opponents - ranging from unorganized local militia to smart and skilled mercenaries.

Slatts released his British Armed Forces combat shotgun addon, the L128A1, on the BI forums.
Quote Slatts : Presenting Version 1 of the L128A1, British Armed Forces combat shotgun.
After getting the necessary BIS models to create it I slapped it together quickly with help from da12thmonkey for the LLM-01 model to add a flashlight and Vilas for his MLOD's allowing me to use the correct foregrip.
For this release there isn't a ammo box or soldier carrying it, the class name is SLTS_L128A1 if you wish to add it to your soldier. With a bit of luck I might be adding it to a bigger pack soon. Credits and Thanks in the readme. Contains work of BIS and fall under their rules regarding usage. Hope to model the correct hand guard for the next release.
Mikie boy released chapter 2 of his Fockers Arma3 Scripting Guide on the BI forums.
The archive we are hosting contains both released chapters 1 and 2!
Quote Mikie boy : This is a tutorial for all those who have no idea how to start scripting. Anyone with half the knowledge of Arma scripting will not require this, it was written as a complete beginners guide and nothing more. The tutorial leads you through a very simple process of making small scripts to carryout certain actions. I've done my best to make this as simplistic as possible and not to confuse anyone. A few people have seen it and have found it very useful, so i thought id finish the first chapter and post it here. Plan is to move on to show how to make a MP game. This is purely something to give back to the community, which over the last 5-6 years I have thoroughly enjoyed.
The second chapter covers the basics of:
Part 1:
- Basic Arrays
- Selecting elements
- Subtracting
- Addition
- forEach command

Quote : During the period called "Arab Revolution", a people that of Takistan seeks of democracy. This country is ruled with a rod of iron by General Ahmadine, and his military junta. It's a bloodthirsty man who does not hesitate to kill, to keep his power. Following the crisis in the Arab countries, and overwhelming circumstances, men gathered in the HOURIA network, a network for freedom, take up weapons. Fortunately, France, heard their cries and supports them in their struggle. Through Hamza, a leading member of Houria, or Sergeant Lopez, a member of the Mountain Commando Group, of the 27th Alpine Brigade, you pass through this revolution, and Inch Allah, will lead the country to freedom... Get ready, the takistanese army and militia not allow you to break !
Good luck...
