Arma 3 Mission - Blocking Position SPEAR

I have just uploaded a new mission at the Arma 3 Steam Workshop.

Graviteam Tactics Mius Front - How to Tow AT Guns

War gamers tend to consider AT guns as static weapons, mostly a system that is deployed at the start of an scenario and never to move too much.

On the move.

Combat Mission Battle for Normandy Battle Pack 1

And yes, Battlefront continues to occupy an special place in hour war-gaming diet, this time with an scenario pack (link here).

The quality of the maps is one of the selling points of this battle pack. It takes a lot of talent to make those locations to appear realistic.

These are some screenshots of the upcoming Graviteam Tactics Mius Front.

The wait is almost over and the 3D tactical war game will be out next Friday via Steam.

ARMA 3 - Eden 3D Editor

A great update for Arma 3 has come out a few days ago and the centerpiece was a new 3D Editor that makes things very easy for mission creators.

Placing a character, rotating it, giving it a certain height. All at the scenario creator's fingertips in a very well thought interface.

Arma 3 - Special Forces Short on Demo Charges Need Only a Radio - AAR

Running this scenario (a modded version with stuff from SimHQ.com and Red Hammer Studios), I used artillery with guided munition.

Continued from this blog entry.

Tanks forward, infantry following. The immense firepower of the Abrams opens up an opportunity for the infantry to gain a foothold in the village.

This is a continuation of this previous blog entry.

After a non-so auspicious start (see initial losses in the first blog entry), the US detachment starts to delivery covering fire for one Bradley IFV that will ford the creek.

Saving Basra - Steel Armor Blaze of War

December 1985. After years of war, the Iranians are feeling the pinch of social unrest. Determined to finish Saddam Hussein and his Army, chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani made it clear that the only way to finish the war would be an attack on Basra. The first phase of the operation would be crossing the the Shatt al-Arab river, south of Basra (Operation Karbala 4) and to turn the Iraqi defensive positions centered on Basra.

The lead tank of an Iraqi T-62 platoon moves west to be debriefed at the tactical command post.

The Iraqis understood the importance of defeating the Iranian offensive right at the onset of the operation. Iraqi General Maher Rashid led a successful clearing of the Iranian bridgehead. This blog entry shows how that fighting may have looked like from the Iraqi side.
