Flashpoint Latvia Episode 3 - Arma 3- Use of Light Armored Vehicles in a Hybrid Warfare Environment

Intelligence Officer's Comments
The recent hostile actions in eastern Latvia by guerrillas sympathizing with the Russian government have overstretched the Latvian Land Armed Forces. The need of increasing patrolling and shows of force have become evident after several skirmishes between ethnic Russian guerrillas and Latvian National Guard detachments. These skirmishes had consistently resulted in Latvian National Guards casualties. The very nature of the Latvian National Guard -light infantry with no significant heavy weapons support- hampers their ability to deliver effective fires on an elusive and fast moving enemy.

Scourge of War Waterloo: Quatre Bras - Review

A smaller battle than Waterloo, packed with historical quality and nail-biting Napoleonic warfare, Quatre Bras is not only a great wargame but a tour de force on generalship and history.

DCS SA342 Gazelle - The Hovering Command Post

In this mission, I'm piloting a French Gazelle and our mission is to coordinate the establishment of a Georgian Armed Forces outpost near the Batumi Airport. Dismounted opposition is expected: insurgents armed with small arms and RPGs at OBJs Charleroi and Dinant.

After a few final words regarding coordination and other logistics, I am back to the Gazelle with the commanding officer on the copilot seat. In the background, the convoy (2 LAVs, 1 Humvee and 2 trucks transporting infantry) departs from Batumi.

Arma 3 Apex - Preview

Arma 3 Apex was officially released on 11Jul16, but most of the content released was available through the so-called "Dev Branch".



With a new and slick interface, a new map and new armed virtual characters it shows that the developers do care about how the current and future users do and will interact with the game for years to come. The core values that made Arma a success, like the readily available mission edition, modding and the wide open areas of operation were not left behind.

DCS SA342 Gazelle - What if They Gave a War and Nobody Came?

Heads up! the DCS Gazelle module has a new update that you can try in its beta status at DCS World Beta 1.5.4.



Main attractions of this update: new weapons (M621 cannon and SNEB rockets) mounted on the SA342L variant. And noticeable modifications to the flight model/SAS stabilization system.

In this mission, a French Gazelle is sent to investigate reports of insurgent activity in a remote village some 35 miles northwest of the Batumi airport.
