Task Force 611 Campaign: Feel free to ask any questions or suggestions in the comments below! Prologue: Chapter 1:

Hey all, this is a new campaign that I've been sitting on for a few months now and have been too busy to really start. This post will lay out the initial status of the campaign, and contain updates post each mission for those who missed them to catch up on the developments or failures of each. The campaign will aim to be a little more sandbox in nature, giving choices to leaders about which areas and resources they'd like to capture to help your side in the conflict. Said conflict will be a 4 way battle for the Islands of Fapovo. Story is as follows: "The Islands of Fapovo have splintered. The government has fallen, and many opportunistic and idealist groups have risen up to try and take hold in the power vacuum that followed. Many have already fallen as initial skirmishes have drawn territories and battle lines throughout the region. One such group is that of the Lauramarin, who are the smallest of the 4 remaining major groups. They have found themselves with little to no terrain to speak of, but a lot of wits and heart may just save them yet." The Map Starts as Follows: Each flag roughly indicates the capital of each faction, as well as their primary colour. The coloured areas indicate controlled territory, but are not exact. Unmarked areas are mostly no-mans land, and usually abandoned for a reason. The four sides at the start of the campaign are as follows: 1. The Lauramarin (Players) Idealistic and with a lot to prove, the Lauramarin are easily the underdog in this conflict. With only one unremarkable territory to speak of and very limited equipment with which to wage warfare, they will need to be smart and cautious. 2. The Botana Republic (Former gov forces) On the converse to the Lauramarin, are the Botana Republic. Mostly made up of former government forces, this gives the Botana the advantage of being the best equipped and trained of the forces. Still, corruption and greed still infect this force and may lead to their own eventual collapse. 3. The Sharkovo Nationalists (Numerous Conquerors) Hailing from the largest sub-island in the region, the Sharkovians have long wanted independence. This conflict has been their chance to take it and much more. They have already made significant territory gains, which include roughly a third of the mainland. They have achieved this through usage of their high numbers and clever use of their equipment. 4. The Sossana Separatists (Fierce Defenders) Originating in the more arid part of the main island, the Sossana Separatists are hardy, tough and merciless folk. They claim the North West, as well as the only island airfield, FOB Mermaid, which is a tactical boon they wish to keep. So far they have made few pushes for territory, instead opting to fiercely and brutally defend their territory at all costs. ------ I will likely run the first of these missions as a calendar event, due to the likelihood of wanting to severely restrict equipment due to your side's lack of it in-universe. I also apologise in advance for delays in starting and gaps between each missions, as I will probably be so busy it will be rare that I have energy to run them. But hopefully these posts will serve as a handy catch up before each mission.

Operation Crusader KP Liberation, Lythium - What is Liberation - Liberation is a long term scripted, Dynamic mission made for large communities to play, the military composition of both forces is relatively the same including Air, Artillery, Armored, and Wheeled assets. All are worth a certain amount of resources, and some have to be unlocked through the capture of military bases. The Resources are Supplies, Ammunition, and Fuel. With supplies being the basic building material of everything from AI squads to planes. These can be found randomly through out the map or produced constantly in factories. Factories are randomly assigned a resource at the beginning of the mission which will be that factories starting resource though these can be changed with a small investment. Now away from the complexities of logistics and production, lets discuss the enemy. The enemy is run by a rudimentary commander AI which will try to push the players back and cut them off from resources and assets A.K.A factories and military bases. The commander's awareness or more aptly named 'Readiness' to attack you is based off of a percent. which increase as you gain ground, kill units, also is drastically increased when you killed surrendered units. Readiness will actually dictate what units spawn in and assets the enemy utilizes against you, while secondly how willing he is to retaliate against you after you push him out of an objective. Enemy battle-groups won't just halt after taking one objective from you, they will try to steam roll your lines and continue to take the next closest objective. This leads to a massive Tug-a-war gameplay where players gain ground only to be forced back if they don't successfully defend an objective. You can reduce enemy readiness through secondary objective missions, but these cost you Intel a fourth resource. This can only be gained through capturing enemy soldiers or finding Intel in military bases when you attack them. FOB hunts, and Convoy ambushes are the two missions you can use to reduce enemy readiness. Lastly, the battle-zone is not barren and filled with only enemies and buildings only useful for being destroyed by heavy assets, Civilians are a factor and civilian happiness is a major player in the speed and smoothness of your progression. Buildings in City and village objective zones that are destroyed will impact the population's opinion of you. with the most negative score coming from dead civilians, if unhappiness grows the civilians will plant IEDs and even aid your enemy in defending civilian objectives. Raiding your supply convoys and making a muck of everything. But if they are happy they will provide civilian informants and even show up in battles and attack Opfor. - mission info - The mission file has been edited and mods added that make certain aspects of the game more realistic, VCOM and ASR-AI will give the soldiers more realistic flanking and suppression actions, grenades will be thrown at you, and any building you hide in will be breached and cleared by enemy AI. They are aggressive and will act as Hunter Killer AI, seeking and destroying any players in their defense zone once they are alerted to your existence. ADV Splint and CPR overhauls Ace medical to make medics more important and broken limbs are an easy fix. The CPR mod allows players to use ACE Revive with out PAKs enabled. All players can revive with CPR certain classes though have a higher chance to revive a player. Epie now increases the revive chance. A suppression mod adds a RO2 style suppression system and immersion adds FX and screen effects when firing, or others fire near you, a slew of minor ace modifications are made to give a balanced experience and keep players from instantly being put into a revive state by just being sneezed on. FX and Sound mods are included in the mod-list. Players have US RHS Assets and 3CB assets. with the enemy being Takistani Nation Army from 3CB Factions. - Rules - No Team killing, this goes without saying but it still has to be put up here. Do Not Suicide/Respawn due to broken legs/Revive state just because you don't have a medic 2 feet from you, part of the medic's job is to try to save his teammates not to be mothballed by the Respawn button. Always ask your Squad Lead or Commander if you wish to use an asset, they cost resources and are not one person's but the team's resources and time. Following the last rule, your Squad Lead can ask the commander for an asset, if the commander says NO, it means NO. his goes for Squad Leads and players asking their Leads to make additional requests. Play your role, if you choose to be a medic be a medic. Not a Sniper, MAT, EOD, Medic Thing. We have slots for a reason they are named for a reason and have medic and engineer perms for a reason. An Addendum to the Previous rule, Play roles you know. I want this mission to be a place to learn at the same time I want people to semi know what they are doing, so if you are learning a new role please pair up with a competent player who can teach you. This heavily leans toward Medics, Squad Leads, and Pilots. Explosives being used in civilian areas are frowned upon, ROs/JTACs be very mindful of weaponry you request near civilian objectives, and where it is being dropped. Engineers, Demo charges are not viable building clearing tools in Urban areas. Lastly, Do not use gunfire and explosives as IED removal, defuse kits and engineers are suppose to clear the path for Men and Vics in streets. - Final Notes - Serious Fun is the name of the game here, you can have fun and joke around, laugh at the funny things Arma does, but you have to know how to flip the switch and get your head in the game. The people that will enjoy this will be those who don't care if an assault was a success or a failure but will learn from their mistakes and even move forward to correct themselves before others. In this game mode mistakes follow you and actions have net Positive and Negative outcomes that should be looked at, I want players to think before they act. The Three things I want to see during these game sessions if they ever get big enough to fill out the mission is Teamwork, Maturity, and Integrity. With a Quality over Quantity mindset.

Story The UN has been deploying military personnel for service in peace operations since 1948 when the Security Council authorized the deployment of UN military observers to the Middle East to monitor the Armistice Agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbours. UN military personnel can be called upon to: Protect civilians and UN personnel; Monitor a disputed border; Monitor and observe peace processes in post-conflict areas Provide security across a conflict zone; Assist in-country military personnel with training and support Assist ex-combatants in implementing the peace agreements; they may have signed. One of the biggest changes UN Peacekeeping has seen over the 70 years of its existence has been the increasingly multi-dimensional nature of UN peacekeeping operations. UN military peacekeepers are often deployed in inhospitable, remote and dangerous environments where they face an unprecedented scale of challenges especially when protecting civilians, under asymmetric threats. You will also be tasked to end slave trades, illegal arms trades, and any and all WMD's. Good Hunting Equipment and Assets Because the U.N. peacekeeping force is made up of the volunteers from over 120 countries, it will be chosen at random which one of 20 countries you will be. The equipment and assets vary on the country. The countries and their equipment are as follows: Germany France Canada The United States of America Republic of Korea United Kingdom Spain Uganda Argentina Ireland Ukraine Norway Israel Russia Australia Japan China Italy Brazil Iran Head Gear: -Cap (Blue) -Beret (UN) -PASGT (UN) -SSh-68 UN -Beret UN [BAF] -MNP: UN Boonie -MNP: UN MICH -[PO]Beret UN Vest: -[PO]6B23 UN and it's variants Backpack: -Unrestricted, except for emplacements, unless told otherwise Uniforms (In order of country): GER MNP: Flecktarn Combat Fatigues (Desert variant if in desert) FRA MNP: Lizard CAN MNP: CADPAT (Desert variant if in desert) USA FROG MARPAT -D & -WD ROK MNP: GRANITE-B Fatigues(ROK) UK Combat Uniform DDPM & DPM SPA Rolled Shirt MTP [BAF] UGA Combat Uniform DPM ARG MNP: MARPAT Combat Fatigues IRE MNP: Irish DPM Fatigues & Irish DPM Fatigues (Desert) UKR MNP: Ukrainian TTSkO Uniform NOR MNP: Norwegian Fatigues & Desert Fatigues ISR MNP: Israel Drab Uniform RUS EMR-Desert & EMR-Summer AUS MNP: AMCU Fatigues JAP BDUs, blouse/trousers, woodland CHI MNP: Type 07 Universal & Type 07 Desert ITA MNP: ANCU Uniform BRA FROG MARPAT -WD IRAN MNP: 6-colour Desert Fatigues Weapons (In order of country): GER SMG: MP7, MP5 Rifles: HK416, H&K G36 LMG: H&K MG4, Rheinmetall MG3 Pistol: FNX-45 Tactial Sniper Rifle: AWM, M107 AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin FRA SMG: MP5 Rifles: HK416, M16 LMG: FN Minimi Pistol: Glock 17 Sniper Rifle: H&K 417 AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin CAN SMG: MP5 Rifles: L119A1, L129A1 LMG:FN Minimi Pistol: FNX-45 Tactial Sniper Rifle: L135A1, L115A3 AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin USA SMG: MP5 Rifles: HK416, M4, M16 LMG: M249 Pistol: M9 Beretta Sniper Rifle: M107, Mk14, M2010 ESR AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin ROK SMG: MP5 Rifles: HK416, M4, M16, M14, LMG: M60 Pistol: FNX-45 Tactial Sniper Rifle: AWM AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin UK SMG: L91A1 Rifles: L85A2, L129A1 LMG: L86A2, L7A2, L110A1 Pistol: Glock 17 Sniper Rifle: AWM, L134A1 AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin SPA SMG: MP5 Rifles: HK417, H&K G36 LMG: H&K MG4, Rheinmetall MG3 Pistol: FNX-45 Tactial Sniper Rifle: AWM AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin UGA SMG: PP200 Rifles: AK-74, AS Val, AKM LMG: RPK, PKM, PKP Pistol: PMl Sniper Rifle: T-5000, SVD AT: Igla, RPG-7V2 ARG SMG: MP5 Rifles: FN FAL, M16, Steyr AUG LMG: Rheinmetall MG3 Pistol: Glock 17 Sniper Rifle: M107 AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin IRE SMG: MP5 Rifles: FN FAL, Steyr AUG LMG: FN Minimi Pistol: FNX-45 Tactial Sniper Rifle: AWM AT: M136, Carl Gustav, Javelin UKR SMG: Sa vz. 61 Rifles: AK-74U, AS Val, AKM, AK-74 LMG: RPK, PKM, PKP, RPK-74 Pistol: PM Sniper Rifle: SVD, VSS Vintorez AT: Igla, RPG-7V2 NOR SMG: MP7, MP5 Rifles: HK416, H&K G3 LMG: FN Minimi, Rheinmetall MG3 Pistol: Glock 7 Sniper Rifle: HK417 AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin ISR SMG: Vektor Rifles: TAR-21, M4, M16, AKM, AK-47 LMG: Negev Pistol: Glock 17 Sniper Rifle: M107, M14 AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin RUS SMG: PP2000 Rifles: AKM, Ak-74, AS Val LMG: RPK-74, PKP, PKM Pistol: PM Sniper Rifle: SVD, T-5000, VSS Vintorez AT: Igla, RPG-7V2 AUS SMG: MP5 Rifles: Steyr AUG, M4A1 LMG: FN Minimi Pistol: FNX-45 Tactial Sniper Rifle: HK417, M107, AWM AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin JAP SMG: MP7 Rifles: M4, H&K G36 LMG: FN Minimi Pistol: FNX-45 Tactial Sniper Rifle: HK417 AT: M136, Carl Gustav, Javelin CHI SMG: CPW Rifles: AK-47, QBZ-95 LMG: PKM, PKP Pistol: PM Sniper Rifle: SVD AT: Igla, RPG-7V2 ITA SMG: MP7, MP5 Rifles: Remmington ACR-E 6.8mm LMG: Rheinmetall MG3, FN Minimi Pistol: M9 Baretta Sniper Rifle: AWM AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin BRA SMG: MP5 Rifles: HK416, M16, FN FAL, TAR 21 LMG: Fn Minimi, Rheinmetall MG3 Pistol: M9 Beretta, Colt 1911 Sniper Rifle: M2010 ESR, M107 AT: M136, SMAW, Javelin IRAN SMG: MP5 Rifles: AKM, KH2002, H&K G3, M4 LMG: RPK, PKM, PKP Pistol: Colt 1911 Sniper Rifle: SVD AT: Igla, RPG-7V2 Vehicles: If vehicles are outright destroyed, they will not be available for 5 missions, if they are brought back to base and are damaged it will be repaired, but repairs are determined by how severe the damages are.

If you have any suggestions for how I could edit the loadouts or camo of your nation, please DM me

You originally were tasked to conquer Tanoa together with the 3rd carrier fleet of the NATO forces. However during deployment of the invasion vehicles a storm appeared out of nowhere and got your entire platoon to the neighboring Island instead. Lingor. Lingor and Tanoa are both puppet states of the Syndicate, which was able to steal all kinds of equipment during the fall of the USSR. Since then it was able to maintain a not unsignificant budget by forcing locals to harvest plants used in the creation of drugs and distributing drugs over western countries. Unlike most other organized crime organisations it's believed that a former PMC owner that has gone bankrupt, because of NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan, has recently taken lead over the Syndicate. It is believed that he wants to take revenge on NATO for closing his source of income. Due to his experience in organizing military operations, ties to corrupt officials in Russia and competent staff the Syndicate are expected to be extraordinarily well equipped, including Russian infantry equipment, Anti-Air launchers, Anti-Tank rockets and even Armor/Helicopters/Jets. Eventhough the main force was stationed on Tanoa at the point of invasion, we have no Intel on the remaining forces on Lingor due to heavy troop movements around 72 hours ago. Cut off from any supplies your mission is to either: contact the NATO Fleet via Sat comms escape from Lingor to Tanoa and link up with NATO forces Disrupt the government activities on Lingor, allowing for a better strike position on Lingor In my missions Platoon has to decide what is to be done and what not. You could for instance destroy a bridge, but if it cuts off civilians they might get angry at you, leading to more personell for Syndicate forces, that make your life harder, aswell as shattering any hope of the locals of a Syndicate-free future and maybe even resulting in guerillia warfare against your troops. And it will also draw the attention of the local forces, so be careful and consider every step you take, especially since you won't have reinforcements or ammo resupplies. If you should like the general concept of my Idea, vote for it and I will try to host them on Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Thursdays, starting off next week (13.06.2017). If you do not like it just vote against. Voting will be closed on 12.06.2017 and after that I will decide where it goes. Another thing is that I need a somewhat experienced zeus for the missions, as I have not zeused a live mission before (only editor and basic training from Katla), basically someone that knows how to do more complex stuff like scripts and such.
