This week we’ll hopefully have a brand-new mission created by yours truly. As we have a lovely shiny new server and now the ability to much more easily upload mods I have a renewed enthusiasm for my own creations. To that end I have completely overhauled the back-end scripting framework which under pins all our home-grown missions and implements some new requested features, such as the ability to go third person when in vehicles. I could bore you with other things but I don’t want you dropping off.
My new mission …. Hopefully all the scripting will work but you know what Arma can be like, I have tested some of it on the server already and it all seems to work. I’m not going to give to much away about the contents but I am really pleased with it and from an atmospheric point of view I think its probably my best ever. Let’s hope the game play matches up too.
So, what’s the mission …..
QuoteSoldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force:
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.
The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.
In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944. Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory.
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory.
Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
6 June 1944
For our small part in this big adventure we’ll be dropping behind enemy lines via Horsa Glider to capture the strategically import bridge over the Merderet river in the centre of Chef-du-Pont. It is being defended by German battle-hardened Wehrmacht Troops. They are sure to put up a stiff resistance and we must capture the bridge intact before they have a chance to destroy it. Once captured, we are to secure and hold the area until reinforcements arrive.

Now that's a bold claim! Hopefully, I will join you on the battlefield!
Top mission. Just like old times. Shame we killed the reinforcements though.
Thanks, all in all i think it played pretty well. As for the reinforcements, it was dark and they did kinda sneak up on us
