What's the scoop?Reminder: If you don't already know how to configure and use TeamSpeak 3's Channel Commander feature, please re/re-read the Getting started with TeamSpeak 3 (for ArmA2) thread before the event, even if you do not plan on taking a leadership role. Thank you.
We have invited our comrades from LDDK and CiA to come over and help us shoot people.
What are LDDK and CiA?
The illustrious LDD Kyllikki (LDDK) is an OFP/ArmAx group that has been around for a very long time indeed. Over 10 years, in fact! The folks at CiA have been running sessions for almost as long.
What are the people from LDDK and CiA like?
Lovely. We've had many joint sessions with them in the past, and greatly enjoyed shooting each other in the face. Here are some AAR threads from the more recent joint sessions:
- [Sun] 04 December 2011 (with LDDK and CiA)
- [Sun] 27 November 2011 (with CiA)
- [Sun] 30 October 2011 (with CiA)
- [Sun] 25 September 2011 (Joint Joint: LDDK)
19:00 UK (20:00 CET) on Sunday 08 January 2012.
Does this replace the regular Folk session?
Yes. Everyone from Folk and ARPS is invited. Please note the earlier start time.
Which OA server will we use?
The Folk ArmA2: Combined Operations server:
- Address: server.herosquad.org
- Port: 2402
- Password: freedom
Folk/ARPS/CiA guests, please use the Folk TS3 server:
- Address: server.herosquad.org:9988 (note: the domain and port go together)
- Password: freedom
Are any addons allowed, or just vanilla ArmA 2: Combined Operations?
Just vanilla ArmA 2: Combined Operations. You may run client-side addons (STHUD etc.) but not those that might give you a competitive advantage against humans (e.g. mods that allow you to control your view distance). Please, please do NOT connect with such mods. Connecting with ACE2 or ACRE loaded may cause the server to crash - please do not be the one to delay 50+ other players.
What kind of missions will we be playing?
We plan to play a modified version of Housemaster's Zargabaddies mission (which we have never completed), expanded for 70 players.
What's the ORBAT?
Here's an abbreviated ORBAT of available slots for the mission:

No - slotting will be run as normal. COY and PLT CO slots are reserved and will be agreed before the session; for now all you need to know is that:
- 1 PLT will be populated by LDDK guests
- 2 PLT will be populated by Folk/ARPS/CiA guests
Just come along and enjoy the evening, comrade! If you know you're coming along, posting in this thread would be great - it's not obligatory, but it will help us plan things and is greatly appreciated by the hosts.
What if I can't make it until the usual Folk session start time, at 19:30 UK (20:30 CET)?
If all goes to plan there will be a lot of players on the server, so please understand if we don't wait for guests that arrive late in the slotting phase. There may not be a second mission, so it's up to you to be on time / early if you want to participate in this event.
Are we expected to survive?
Why do people always ask this question?
