Stagler released his latest mission in the BI forums.

Quote Stagler :
A British fireteam 'Charlie 2' is being tasked with investigating a report of gunfire within the Grishino. Although Chernarus has been at peace for some time, there is still high tension between the ethnic factions within the country. The efforts of NATO and UN peacekeeping contingents from Britain and the US have been increasingly impotent as violent militant groups have come to the fore there is a resurgence of incidents of ethnic violence and fighting. Chernarus, fresh out of a period of prolonged civil war, is still a volatile state with clashing ethnic factions. Friction between these is a force that the military intervention of the US during the civil war did not stop, and it is likely that the conflict within the country will once again come to a head...

Specialist released a new version of his Joint Operations featuring the BAF in our forums.

Quote Specialist :
Set after the Fall of the Takistan National Army, Coalition Forces launch new operations in the region. ISAF Forces under NATO command arrive in Takistan with the intention of re-training the National Army and rebuilding the infrastructure of the country, but in Takistan, things never go to plan. While the new government is desperately trying to restore their war-torn country, NATO's main focus is now on defeating the many insurgent militias that have formed since the fall of Col. Aziz' Army. You will take on the role of Andrew Miller as his section carry out daily duties in Takistan and the neighboring Shapur e-Dalanper region, from village patrols to escorting convoys through the deadly mountainous regions of Takistan.

British Army spokesman Major Tom Middleton recently made this statement regarding their presence in Takistan.
    Major Tom Middleton:
    The British Armed Forces contingent in Takistan comprises of several regiments involved in the counter-insurgency campaign. British paratroopers and the mechanized regiments are supporting the stabilization efforts across the land together with several other allied armies of NATO.

]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 10:52:00 +0000 AAS gamemode : Advance and Secure v1.14 for Operation Arrowhead
As reported on www.advanceandsecure.com Cat Toaster just released Version 1.14 of the official "AAS for Operation Arrowhead Mission-Pack". One of the main reasons for this release are 14 new missions (plus the 16 of V1.13 makes 30 total now!). We also use some of the latest Features of the latest 1.54 OA-Update and BAF-(Lite)Content like Artillery (Drill Bill) and Shapur (Shapur Showdown). Also we finally really removed FLIR from all vehicles with this Release of AAS in an consistent and JIP-Safe state and the Medic Revive ability is brought back to live again without the requirement of using Beta-Patches.

These are the changes in V1.14:
  • Thermal View disabled in AAS on Vehicles that gave Blue an unfair advantage
  • Medic Revive working again
  • Removed M203s from Mk16 GL TWS to balance it a bit more with Reds counterpart AK74 Goshawk that has no GL
  • Removed BetaCMAG 100Rnd Mags from Ammo-Crate to avoid usage with Assault-Rifles
  • Added Nightvision-Sniper-Rifles (Sniper-Class)
  • Changed Vehicle Respawn-Delay from 30s to 60s (Default)
  • Changed Default Friendly-Tag Display-Range from 500m to 1000m
  • Exchanged Binoculars with Target Designator/Rangefinder/Lasermarker-Thingy with FLIR and NV (Recon-Class)
  • Fixed Custom Loadouts (Loading a Custom-Loadout without having one saved before won´t let you end up being naked anymore)
  • 14 new AAS-Missions including Patch 1.54 Shapur and Artillery-Support (Drill Bill)
  • Several Bugfixes
  • Tons of Mission-Fixes

Please note: Only Hosts/Modders/Mission-Designers need to download Releases. No Addons are required, not even Arma2! Operation Arrowhead patched to V1.54 is all you need to run this.

For Feedback and Suggestions please visit the AAS-Project Space at Dev-Heaven or the Advance and Secure-Forums.

Recent problems with OA patch and dedicated server made me think about the sequence of events that preceeds WICT starting, so I checked it again and changed some things. Be sure to check manual for Starting WICT and auto-start.

Suchy_ informed us he updated the Operation Arrowhead version of his Mute player's voice to work with patch 1.54 in the BI forums.

Quote Suchy_ :
This is a simple addon which allows disabling player character's voice. Useful for commanding the team with a speech recognition software, so your character doesn't repeat everything you say to the microphone.
To enable: in main menu go to Player profile and choose "Silent" voice.
It won't work with missions/campaigns overriding player's voice set in the profile.

]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:05:00 +0000 SP mission : Operation BushMaster by Dale
Dale has submitted his latest mission for Operation Arrowhead.

Quote Dale :
This mission is very loosely based on an Afghan War Diary Entry from 2007. This is where a callsign part of Task Force BushMaster are attacked by over 100 insurgents throughout a 3 hour period. C42D (the Callsign) called in air strikes and artillery bombardment but the insurgents still kept coming. You could call this mission the Takistan version of Rourke's Drift, the famous battle where a small Platoon of British Soldiers held out against overwhelming odds. It has been stated that over 4000 Zulus were in Rourke's Drift yet the British Soldiers won the Battle. Finally they were rescued...
