Bundeswehr Mod

Description:
BWMOD
The Bundeswehr Mod (BWMod) is an Operation Flashpoint, Armed Assault and ArmA II modification creating realistic and high quality German Bundeswehr addons.
Founded in early 2001 by Peiper, the mod has an eventful past.
After a few very successful releases for Operation Flashpoint the mod was closed in 2003 due to internal disputes. However, part of the original team combined forces again and joined M.M.P. (Military Mod Project) to continue working on addons for Operation Flashpoint.
Though M.M.P. was meant to focus on creating addons for various armys all over the world the fanbase of the original BWMod put a lot of pressure on the remainder of the team to create and release German addons and eventually succeeded. After another batch of Bundeswehr addon releases the M.M.P. team realised it should refocus on their roots. This led to the closure of M.M.P. and the refounding of the Bundeswehr Mod in 2005.
The following years were the most successful years for the BWMod and it's team, releasing more than 30 addons and becoming one of the most famous and most anticipated mods for Operation Flashpoint.
Due to Armed Assault beeing a disapointment the team went into depression and only released a few very basic beta versions of some of their addons.
But today the BWMod is still kicking and continues to develope addons for the successor to Armed Assault, ArmA II, even though there's just a handfull of members left.
ADDONS
All our addons are made with the best effort to be as realistic as possible and free of bugs.
However, nobody is perfect and there are still a lot of engine limitations so bear with us if something is wrong.
The current release includes German infantry as well as numerous wheeled and tracked vehicles, including but not limited to the TPz Fuchs 1A6 and the Leopard 2A6.
MISSIONS
The current release features 4 BWMod coop missions by DirtyHarry[TPC].
All missions can be played in single player, too; just open up your own LAN server and select a mission.
Feel free to post your own BWMod missions on our forums.
Installation:
Right-click the rar file and select Extract files from the context menu.
Navigate to your ArmA II installation folder or type the Destination path and hit OK.
Make sure to overwrite any of our previous addons with those included in this release.
SETTING UP A SHORTCUT
Once all files are extracted you have to create a custom shortcut.
Navigate to your ArmA II installation folder, right click arma2.exe and select Create Shortcut from the context menu. Right click the shortcut and hit Properties.
Add -mod=BWMod to the target box, it should look somewhat like
Code:
''D:\ArmA II\arma2.exe'' -mod=BWMod
Close Properties and double click the shortcut to start.
ON MODFOLDERS
Please make sure not to change the name of the mod folder (default: BWMod)!
Upcoming versions will include config files allowing users to customize a few of BWMod's features but require the modfolder's name to be ''BWMod''.
