[Concord]

I'm in.

 

[Paleolithic Monk]

"Get on the horn to HQ and let them know we've reached the village and there's no sign of the enemy!" -Moments before the last known radio transmission from Lt. @Concord

[Paleolithic Monk]

FGM helo insertion into Indian country!

 

[Josey Wales]

@Paleolithic Monk you've got a real talent for this!

 

[Gnarly]

Tempted. Though I foresee multiple deaths in the foliage from unspotted enemies

 

[Paleolithic Monk]

Unfortunately the jungle will be a dangerous place indeed!

Typical FGM ArmA 3 vehicle movements...

 

[Concord]

@Gnarly you're on point soldier.

 

[Concord]

Now wait just a gall darn minute.
Shouldn't the story be (more realistically) that
"Despite only recently being promoted to SL, Sgt. Concord lead his men so expertly that his squad knew he would get them through even the worst of situations.
Fighting odds of 3 to 1, most of the squad was wounded (especially the gormless new recruit @Paleolithic Monk ), yet Sgt Concord killed all the enemy single handedly and saved everyone."

A cheesy cheese platter. With blue cheese. Which smells like feet.

 

[Vartuoosi]

I'll be there.
@Rambler @Septic Limb
This 'Nam stuff might be more to your liking then the WW2 stuff.
Also everyone remember to download the Unsung-mod in advance it's pretty sizeable.

 

[Josey Wales]

Just been trying out the Da Krong map. If you would like a chopper insertion and extract then I can safely say that you've got a 50/50 chance of survival on the way in and 50/50 on the way out.

And that's without any enemy contact!

 

[Vartuoosi]

Hah, so the AI doesn't handle the little openings in the jungle well?

 

[Josey Wales]

@Vartuoosi no I was piloting myself, I wouldnt give the ai any better odds.

 

[Vartuoosi]

@Vartuoosi no I was piloting myself, I wouldnt give the ai any better odds.

There, there. At least you or the AI will never be as bad as Ith.

A cheesy cheese platter. With blue cheese. Which smells like feet.

I remember the uproar when this came out, gratuitous violence and the body count. That level is just standard action movie stuff now. The villain, what can one say. The campest and totally unthreatening ex-special forces ever seen, what's with the body armour that his grandmother knitted

 

[Nathangun]

I'm in.

 

[Concord]

@Josey Wales Maybe we should @ other players who might be interested? Maybe get our numbers up a bit.

@Nathangun bummer about missing last Sunday's one. I have the "Armed Assault III" forum set to email me anytime there's a new thread posted.

 

[Josey Wales]

@Concord I did use to do that, it didn't really make much difference to the turn out. If people follow me they'll see when I post, at the time of writing 78 people have viewed this thread. At the moment I aim to run a session every Thursday and Sunday until I can get back to working normally which won't be anytime soon.

Forgot to add the Shack Tac User Interface mod to the original post - now rectified;

By all means make some noise in the other forums about this event.
