This is a continuation from my previous post. Let's take a look at the triggers that move my tactical decision aid scenario.

Arma 3 - Faces of War Mod - Keyhole Positions: Be Proactive

It's September and I am feeling a bit for a WWII, British Paras action. In this blog entry, a beleaguered Para has German infantry closing on his position.
