21st December, Sunday Op 12:30 GMT

[DoubleD]

Boot camp again; working on the same three competencies to help us identify how FGM like to play ArmA.

Communication
Movement and command
Fire orders

If anyone has a preference to try a different map, shout here I can easily port boot camp somewhere else.

As Septic and I led on the last op, per Ramblers suggestion, we are excluded from leading this weekend. We need a Section/Squad Lead and a Fire Team Lead for this weekend, at least one set. If we have time we can run two missions so we will need a second set on stand by.

Mods set is
@AGM (ver 0.9.4.1)
@Alive (ver 0.9.4)
@AllInArmaTerrainPack (ver 1.3)
@ASDG_JR (ver 0.11)

[Ithikial]

I'm there. Also the start of my Christmas leave so no work in the morning means more ARMA if available.

 

[Nathangun]

I'll be working on Sunday

 

[Rambler]

Should be able to make it. I'll volunteer to lead us to a glorious death.

Some screens from today:

Those sneaky AIs, putting a desk containing secret files on a smokestack:

Heading out to our second mission of the day, destroying a weapons cache:

Double pointing out something incredibly interesting on the chopper floor:

Double on security:

CAS choppers giving us a helping hand with some tough enemies:

Heading home after a drubbing at the hands of the AI. Ithikial saved the day with a Hail Mary crawl, while injured and passing out, to the weapons cache and destroying it.

What was not captured in screens: My 75 ft drop from a helicopter, Septic's attempts to knock out an APC, Vart and Double's close encounter with an enemy and Ithikial's heroics .

Footage of all that will be coming up, sometime in the future. Well, unfortunately I didn't get Ith's heroics on tape but I did record him panicking when enemy arty started to shell a hill about 200-300 meters behind us. That should balance things out.

haha great compilation Vart! You definitely captured us at our finest. I didn't realize the sniper walked up that close to Double. It's almost as if he wanted to chat. I'll be remembering your panicked cries for Double to shoot for a long time .

If you look closely you can actually see the guy just stand and watch us a few meters behind DoubleD, before he decided to run up to us.

Also I spent total of 40 minutes and 2 seconds unconscious.

To be honest; when I first saw him I thought he can't be an AI, being that bold carrying a pistol with a slung 50cal. I assumed it was Ithikial who had gone magpie and picked up a ghillie suit and the sniper rifle. I really struggled with shooting, lol.

If you are the "learning from mistakes"-kinda guy, I'm sure there is a valuable lesson about doing as you're told or something in there...

 

[DoubleD]

Vart you are a smart gentleman. I should follow FT Lead but I still feel bad about shooting Shane in the face the last time he joined us .

I wish everyone at FGM a great Christmas and happy New Year and thank you all for the great times we have shared in 2014. I look forward to 2015, DoubleD
