Basic Mission idea is as follows Simultaneous Amphib and Airborne invasion of a hostile Island/Coast line. just need some help finding a map and how I should delegate assets, also a zeus willing to take this mission on would be sweet. I am modeling this mission after Operation Overlord, the Invasion of Normandy by Allied Forces in WW2 but of course with modern equipment and smaller scale. My idea is to have the paratroop units (2 squad max) jump in well before the sea invasion and secure a variety of objectives that will make the Amphibious easier or harder depending on success. then soon after (maybe 20 to 30 minutes at most) the invasion will launch, maybe starting with a medium shelling of the landing zone. The final objective of the Invasion will be the securing of a large town and if things go decently well both the Airborne and Amphib force should be able to attack the town at the same time from different directions. Any feedback? If you guys could help me find a map and take an image of the map that would help in drawing up a plan. Also I may put a strawpoll up to name the mission.

untilAfter talking with numerous individuals who took place in the first main mission today (18-3-2018) i am now, more than ever, convinced that Airborne Instruction is needed. As such i will be doing twice monthly training sessions for Airborne (Parachute) insertion This will take place ON SERVER 2 and can run along side MILBASE if it's active NOTE: THIS IS *****UNOFFICIAL***** TRAINING AND IS DESIGNED TO HELP INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD LIKE HELP WITH THE PARACHUTING MECHANICS OF ARMA I also strongly doubt this will last 2.5 hours, I am making it time was that much as, depending on time zones, individuals who want to attend will be able to without fear if missing it due to timezones or jobs.
