If there's a free space it would be awesome for you to join!

May I ask how late would you come?

Does the map have respawns enabled? If not then the chance of there being a slot available very low. Unless we do not fire and do not get found until we go loud and even then we would need to be very lucky and uber medics. Then again if you do not try, you do not succeed. Why am I talking to myself again? ::rolleyes::

PLEASE CAN I DO THIS. MUCH LOVE <3 OXXOXOX

was fun killing that 4man patrol and those 4 guys at the camp fire though - sneaky sneaky

dropped ccrc and it damaged the blackhawk... m(

Cheers guys for coming along I quite enjoyed it , unfortunate about the accidents! In future guys please update ahead of time we started a little late!

Was fun BUT

Please can we have a mission where we all get to have a little fun as Orford said ins would be good, And could we just have the INF no CAS or Armour maybe a CROW at a push

What Vig said. It was fun, and ArmA is good for sneaky missions, but when we've got a group of 15+ that's perfect for some Inf/CAS scenarios. Even Insurgency. I didn't fire my rifle once throughout both of the big ArmA games so far!

There must be some decent regular military missions that are worth playing?

Good work organising and planning though guys, you're doing a great job, and this is just some (hopefully) constructive feedback

Just a though as well, it might be an idea to assign radio channels in the spreadsheet beforehand and everyone should read through the briefing docs, as there was a bit of confusion.

Usually updates go alot smoother than that! I turned up at 7 and it still took me 40 minutes

'Big' arma games are the monthly event, you only attended the second one . The first 'big' arma game was the Fallujah domination round in which everyone got to fire their rifle including myself. It seems apparent that a weekly domination/insurgency would satisfy a lot of people! I think events need some better classification as to not confuse people as to what to expect.

This event was setup as I saw a map I wanted to try run through as this was more of a scenario/story map. Most missions that are based on scenarios/stories for our numbers suffer from a lack of enemies, but these are based on realistic scenarios.

I'll organize an insurgency event for next week! My eyes are set also set on organizing a TvT thing, but there's a fair bit to be sorted out.

I understood that it would be stealthy, and I didn't expect to fire my gun, but I don't think that is the kind of mission the majority want to do (I could be wrong). If I had the time I'd try and put some missions together but I just don't these days.

Ooooh TvT should be priority! Get one of your Arma minions to sort out insurgency

There are different missions that people wish to do this group has potentially 30-40 people to attend any event at present. Though everyone likes different things , I believe it is true that the majority would love to shoot more true and I reckon some insurgency/domination canl take care of that!

TvT is indeed something we'd like try is a 15v15

Can you set upcoming missions on either sunday or midweek..?? Friday and saturday aint good for me..

Problem is that if we do a big mission on sunday, we have to cut it short because loads of people need to get to uni/work early monday morning. Right now it's summer holiday for a lot of people, but that's about to change Same goes for weekdays, of course..

dang it.. Im working at nights usually on friday and saturday... Sucks.. well I guess we'll just have to hope for the best..

Start it earlier, or make it an afternoon event? You may not get the turn out true, but if its planned far enough in advance and its something people really want to do I'm sure they can make an effort

No CAS are you joking. In all the missions so far we have fired a total of 4 hel-fire missiles that have caused damage and taken out a target that inf had many chances to do.

Also if you don't have acces to the command and control channel of the comms you wouldn't know that A LOT of intel comes from the CAS team.

I've spent nearly as much time flying insert and over watch and have never fired a shot. Just getting into position of over watch and providing intel. My gunner gets to blow stuff up. While you all are moving about having fun but not firing your gun, have a though for the CAS the iron horse in the sky that has to hover for hours watching you all shoot tanks, moving around enemy etc etc.

I wouldn't change a thing, love the radio comms like knowing we can help if needed, like picking you all up and dropping you at the next LZ. Listening to your war story's as we RTB. Dropping supplies.

CAS may never be used, on insurgency with the AI on default and .50cal techs roaming around you'll be glad of some CAS 2km away zoomed in and watching your six. You'll wont know we are there until that techy that's about to rape your section goes boom!

Looking forward to it.
