So I've had this mission idea for a while now but I'm not sure i can make it work in a good way so here is a backstory: So there are two forces: Idap and UN, Un forces are backing IDAP when they are clearing out the major towns on the map Chernarus. Mission will probably proceed the following way: UN and IDAP mobilizes their forces to clear Cherno and Elektro so that civvies can be safely returned to their homes, Russians get notified and start immobilizing their forces aswell to stop them from retaking "their" Territory. Please give me more ideas and feedback in the comments, it will help me a lot Here is a pastebin link for the mission SQF: https://pastebin.com/T16y5vdS Thanks

OPERATION FRIDAY REBELLION CONTEXT It has been five years since the Russian Federation landed troops on the Island of Abramia, the words still fresh in your mind from the radio broadcasts issued from Yolandi requesting compliance with the Russians as they occupied the capital "the occupation is temporary" and "to ensure the stability of the region" words which became commonplace in the coming days. citizens deemed a threat to the occupation and "public safety" were rounded up and sent to camps in the North of the Island as the Abramian military demobilized. From that point on the people have taken on a demeanour of subdued compliance with those intending to resist biding their time for the correct moment to strike...until now, the provincial forces have been deployed to the north leaving key munitions depots exposed...with fire and fury you will take back your homes. SITUATION YOUR MISSION HAS 3 STAGES: CAPTURE THE VEHICLES AND MUNITIONS FROM THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENTS DEPOTS, DELIVER CAPTURED EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES TO THE RESISTANCE BASE,HOLD THE RESISTANCE BASE AGAINST RETALIATORY STIKES BY PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT FORCES, WITH THE EQUIPMENT ACQUIRED FROM THE DEPOTS A REBELLION CAN BE FORMED AGAINST THE RUSSIAN BACKED PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT AND A DEFENDABLE BASE FROM WHICH TO LAUNCH A SUSTAINED GEURILLA CAMPAIGN CAN BE ESTABLISHED. OBJECTIVES: SECURE VEHICLES AND MUNITIONS FROM RUSSIAN VDV DEPOTS. DELIVER SECURED VEHICLES AND MUNITIONS TO THE DESIGNATED RESISTANCE BASE(BASE LOCATION WILL BE SELECTED AT BRIEFING). HOLD RESISTANCE BASES AGAINST RETALIATORY STRIKES. FAILURE CONDITIONS: IF MORE THAN HALF OF THE CAPTURED VEHICLES ARE LOST. IF RESISTANCE FORCES ARE UNABLE TO HOLD THEIR BASE AGAINST RUSSIAN FORCES. ENEMY COMPOSITION: RUSSIAN PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT FORCES (VDV) 29TH GUARDS MECHANIZED DIVISION - ASSIGNED TO THE ABRAMIAN PROVISIONAL GOVT. GENERATION 2 EQUIPMENT AND KIT – SUPPLIED BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. APPROX COMPANY STRENGTH IN AO. ENEMY COG: THE ENEMY ARE EVENLY SPREAD ALL OVER THE ISLAND OF ABRAMISA WITH PRIMARY FORCES CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE NORTH FORCES IN THE SOUTH ARE CONCENTRATED WITHIN THEIR BASES INCLUDING THE DEPOTS, ALTHOUGH THE INTERNATIONAL AIR BASE AT YOLANDI IS THE CURRENT CENTRE OF OPERATIONS FOR THE ENEMY. YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID THIS AREA, AS BEING DETECTED WILL RESULT IN YOUR EXPOSURE, AND LIKELY ENCIRCLEMENT AND ANNIHILATION. RECOMMENDED TACT: PICK AND CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTS. AT THIS POINT IN THE REBELLION OPEN CONFLICT WITH PROVISIONAL FORCES CAN AND WILL BE FATAL. FRIENDLY FORCES: ABRAMIAN RESISTANCE FORCES - BLUFOR RADIOS - UNI: GEURILLA COVERALLS (BOKO HARAM/GUE CCE). 1 PLT HQ 4 SECTIONS RESISTANCE INF. 2 BMP-2S Weapon & equipment choices should be Russian platforms, at this stage of the rebellion weapons are scavenged from wherever possible. AREA OF OPERATIONS: MUNITIONS DEPOTS: DEPOT-1 DEPOT-2 MI-24S STATIONED AT YOLANDI INTERNATIONAL: Notes: This mission is a test bed for a concept I have been working on for a campaign.The idea I had in mind is that as missions progress player forces will gain access to more sophisticated and varied equipment with various options for gaining new equipment in future missions EX: A mission could involve meeting with western representatives to secure equipment for the rebellion or as in the case of the mission above raiding enemy installations and stealing equipment. In addition, the choices made in missions will affect the overall direction the campaign takes and by extension the direction and lore of the rebellion.

Task Force 611 Campaign: Feel free to ask any questions or suggestions in the comments below! Prologue: Chapter 1:

Okay, so here's the pitch: Russian Government is putting interest into the island of "Dingor" Situated 500 km east of the Guyana's shore. The isle wealth comes from it's perfect placement when it comes to commerciality from Africa and Europe to South-America. But the geographical aspect doesn't stop there: it's also a strategical point as a FOB to operate in the region. At first, Russians tried to take over with diplomacy and a bit of corruption over the local government, but the economy of the isle is too strong and the Russians influence isn't extended enough. It has been decided that the isle is too valuable, and that it has to be taken. Pretexting to be afraid for it's own economical business in the region, the Russian government achieved to set up a small base on the shore, and thus brought all needed gear using false civilian cargo. 2 days after the arrival of the first troops, everything is ready: The first phase of the plan is to take over the south side of the Island. It consists of 2 main objectives: 1- Take over the radio system of the island in order to have control of all the informations that are sent or received. This objective will be completed once the communication post of the city has been taken. 2- Take control of the main southern city: "Calamar". This objective will be completed when the airport, the harbor and the city hall are all under control. (Pictures are WIP, not definitive look of the area) Of course, everything is protected by military forces: The CSAT. Destroying any of these objectives will result in a fail of the mission, and have repercussions over the rest of the campaign. Expect high resistance from them, as this island weights a lot in their economy. Specifications: Number of enemies: around 150. Civilian presence: Yes. Enemy assets: Mainly small vehicules, but reports says that heavier vehicules are ready if needed. Enemy status: On Alert, will fire on sight. For the players: Gear: Remember that you are playing as Russians, so adapt. (I recommend the AK 105) Assets: Refer to the images Rules of engagement: Platoon Lead decides.

Basically our PMC has to preform a "Hostile Takeover" on a Rival PMC's base in Nogova. Local paramilitary forces along with the mercenary army themselves will be the OPFOR. Cont. of the last PMC Op.

Isla Abramis. Russians have nukes in the mountains poised to attack a US naval base. US Paratroops in snow camo drop into the artic climate to deal with them. Dropping meaning Helicoptered or TP-ed in. Not Paradropped. That'd be hell unless we can find an open plain.

Basic Mission idea is as follows Simultaneous Amphib and Airborne invasion of a hostile Island/Coast line. just need some help finding a map and how I should delegate assets, also a zeus willing to take this mission on would be sweet. I am modeling this mission after Operation Overlord, the Invasion of Normandy by Allied Forces in WW2 but of course with modern equipment and smaller scale. My idea is to have the paratroop units (2 squad max) jump in well before the sea invasion and secure a variety of objectives that will make the Amphibious easier or harder depending on success. then soon after (maybe 20 to 30 minutes at most) the invasion will launch, maybe starting with a medium shelling of the landing zone. The final objective of the Invasion will be the securing of a large town and if things go decently well both the Airborne and Amphib force should be able to attack the town at the same time from different directions. Any feedback? If you guys could help me find a map and take an image of the map that would help in drawing up a plan. Also I may put a strawpoll up to name the mission.

So I had an idea for a mission. I couldn't think of a better name than Black Hawk Down but it is not based on the film or the real life events. Truth be told, it's kind of based on a mission from Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, if anyone played that. Seeing as I can't use the mission editor, or Zeus worth a damn, I thought I'd throw down here and see if anyone wanted to try picking it up. What you'll need: Two Large Towns/Cities (for Objectives Icarus and Gabriel) One Small Town or Military Installation reasonably close to either Gabriel or Icarus (for Objective Sword) Assets (can be modified for balance): 1x Bradley (or similar IFV, must have a minimum carrying capacity of 4, excluding the crew) 1x Force Recon Team (up to 8 infantry with 2 armed Humvees, could also provision sniper cover or DMR, also advise regs and above for this asset. If platoon and Knight crew wish, the Bradley could attach to FR). Potentially allow a UCAV with limited ground attack capability to assist in attacking some of the enemy armour. Advise UCAV pilot that AA is in the area. If this asset is used, and we have a pilot and infantry comfortable with it, and at Admin/Zeus discretion, allow Force Recon use of a laser designator to vector in surgical strikes at enemy positions to soften them up before the main force arrives. Ideally, mission time limit of 1h30m, this time limit will begin when first engagement is made, and end when helo crew is secured. Mission Background: A US UH-60 Blackhawk (or a Ghosthawk if you feel fancy) helicopter, callsign Cipher (or something else tech/nerdy), has been lost while carrying out a test of a top secret, revolutionary new type of radar scrambler within enemy territory. The test was unsuccessful, the helicopter was downed by a shoulder fired SAM within the limits of (insert town/city here). The crew maintained contact after making a crash landing. They reported that all 3 crew members (The 2 pilots and the crew chief) had survived the crash. Radio contact was lost shortly after. Scenario: With such an important piece of technology now lying in a wreck in enemy territory, we've had to call in our nearest assets from the neighbouring country. Satellite imagery has confirmed the helo wreckage is largely intact, and its approximate location is marked as Objective Icarus. We were also able to confirm that the helo crew was taken alive by OPFOR, and are being held captive at Objective Gabriel. We believe OPFOR intend to execute the helicopter crew as propaganda. We also believe they will recover the helo wreckage and use it to reverse-engineer the radar scrambler. We cannot allow this to happen Therefore, we have multiple objectives that need to be completed in a short time frame. We don't have time to wait for a larger force. The helo wreckage should be heavily defended, with some armour elements (BMPs etc.) and a medium-strong infantry presence. Objective Sword, the hostile QRF force, should have a weaker presence, but should still be substantial. A few BMPs, and make the rest up in soft targets. The AA presence in the area has been increased since the helo incursion, so use of air assets is extremely risky. Infantry must move in by ground assets. Platoon to allocate squads and assets based on a 2 phase mission plan. Ideally, these phases should be completed in order. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Phase 1: Objectives Icarus and Sword----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Icarus: This is the approximate location of the downed helo. Seeing as we do not have time to round up the appropriate assets to salvage the wreckage, our only option is to destroy it. Anticipate strong resistance from both infantry and a small number of light armored vehicles. There should be some kind of fortifications surrounding the helo. Advise you send a larger force here. Completion Criteria: The helo wreckage is destroyed. NOTE: The wreckage is only considered "destroyed" when 3 or more demolition charges (or a single 4x demo block) have been placed onto the wreckage and detonated. LAT rockets should not count for the sake of challenge) Failure Criteria: The helo wreckage is not destroyed within the mission time limit. NOTE: Failure of this objective should trigger mission failure Objective Sword: This is the location of the enemy's QRF. As soon as any sort of attack is detected, we believe the enemy will deploy QRF to objective Gabriel in order to expedite the helo crew's removal from the AO, and to reinforce the infantry there. Therefore, a pre-emptive strike would be prudent. It is advised that the attack on the QRF is co-ordinated to begin just before the assault on objective Icarus, so the enemy do not get a chance to fully mobilize. An alternative plan is to potentially set up an ambush along the enemy's path from Sword to Gabriel. This strategy will be at Platoon's discretion. Advise allocating a slightly smaller force to this objective, but send the Bradley along with them for support. Should be moderately well defended but not to Icarus' extent. NOTE: Enemy QRF force should not move before first engagement at either Icarus or Sword itself. In a nutshell, if nobody has started shooting at the enemy yet, QRF stays put. Completion Criteria: Hostile QRF force is either completely destroyed, or immobilized/combat ineffective before it is able to reach Objective Gabriel. Failure Criteria: Enemy QRF reaches Objective Gabriel. NOTE: Failure of Objective Sword does not mean failure of the mission, but it should make Objective Gabriel substantially more difficult. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Phase 2: Objective Gabriel ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allied forces should regroup at a staging area a couple of klicks from the city of Objective Gabriel. Platoon to coordinate attack strategy, all-out frontal, attack from all sides, overwatch etc. Potential for a resupply at staging area as well. Objective here is simple. Find and secure the helo crew. If the Bradley is still functional at this point, it could prove to be extremely useful. The area of Objective Gabriel should be heavily defended, as it is intended to be an OPFOR stronghold. Emplaced machine guns, armour, high amount of infantry etc. Should be a real challenge to get through. The intention here is that you'll be attacking the city with six squads. Resistance should reflect that platoon strength. Helo crew is to be extracted via the Bradley, if it is operational, or via extra humvees provisioned as necessary if the Bradley goes boom. A pre-arranged Extraction Zone should be set 1 or 2 klicks outside of the city. When the crew is safely brought to the EZ, the mission is a success. It may be a good idea to have Force Recon scout the area while the rest of the platoon is regrouping and resupplying. Completion Criteria: 2 or more of the surviving 3 crew members are successfully brought to the EZ. Failure Criteria: 2 or more of the surviving crew are K.I.A., or mission time expires before the crew are located. NOTE: The mission expiry timer should be stopped and disregarded when Zeus/Platoon considers the crew to have been located and secured. I.e. no immediate hostile threat to the crew. Also, no ISIS style executions. The only threat to life the crew should face is potential crossfire as they are moved to the extraction vic . Failure of this objective should trigger mission failure. Treat this as a wireframe. This is just an idea I had, and I'm relatively inexperienced at the game, with no experience of Zeus or Mission Editing. If someone picks this up and wants to change some of the mission parameters, assets etc. be my guest. You probably know better than I do. If anyone wants me to elaborate or put some more detail into this, I'd be more than happy to when I can. My only concerns with this mission idea are finding the right balance in terms of resistance, and also keeping it to an acceptable time.

So I have this mission, it's not nearly ready, but I do believe that with some help from a more experienced member, it can be quite a fun mission! The mission is to hold the line and survive 4 waves of ZEUS spawned Russian forces, getting progressively more and more difficult, once the 4 waves have been completed, you'll be tasked with retreating to the town, where another 4 waves must be completed, until finally being evaced at a nearby radar dish via Chinook. The Mission takes place in the early morning, when the sun is just peering over the hills after a snowstorm that took place the previous night. Here are some screenshots of it:

I've an idea about a Zeus role play mission. Inspired in the movie Red Dawn, it would roll like this Russians are invading US territory. The remain civilians run away during the attack, survivals should use guerrilla tactics to manage their way to some big radio tower to alert the US army about the situation. Players are civilians, Russians don't necessarily attack civilians, only when they are a threat (Zeus must control this) when civilians attack the Russian army then they become blufor. They all have roles but not necessary a gun. (Example: doctor, mechanic, farmer, police officer and military veteran (instantly blufor), shop owner, priest, lazy civilian, engineer, technician, gangster...) They must organize themselves to scavenge for items around the map, find Russian patrols and bases stealing items and vehicles. This campaign can be done as one mission or many. New players can be added during the campaign as prisoners. Prisoners must be released from prison to play. I don't know how to create this mission, but i can work as Zeus and assure the fun during the game. It can last as long as the players enjoy(from 1 up to 4 hours). Missions can have different objectives keep the game interesting. In my time in Arma i did such kind of mission two times. Players enjoy it very much. I think people here may also like it. Would someone please help me creating such campaign?

This thread for posting inspiration for mission design. I have created this thread so people can post real world news war footage and pictures. With this there is a heavy rule set and it will be taken seriously. If not followed correctly can end up with someone being banned. The rules: No gore. No live deaths (someone going from alive to dead in footage). No ISIS footage. Not even in news segments. No liveleak posts. All content must be vetted first by a member of staff before posting. Marked approved by under posting and tag them. These are in place to stop someone being banned. This thread has been approved and can be changed if needed. All footage should be viewed as educational. This footage is not meant to be violent in any way. Sharing this footage for the purposes of news reporting and educating.

I can run these either in main missions or in smaller afternoon missions, depending on demand. They will be zeused rather than scripted, as I have next to zero knowledge when it comes to scripting missions. This is an early concept so all feedback/criticism/tips is highly appreciated! This is a series of missions I'm planning out where you guys will be playing as a group of rebels on the island of United Sahrani, aiming to restore the communist state of the Democratic Republic of Sahrani. You control the Northwestern part of United Sahrani, with the overarching objective over the course of many missions being eventual control over the entire map. Mechanics/Structure NOTE: To begin with, this will be hard. You are less equipped than your enemy, who has better assets and more resources than you do. To begin with, your rebel forces will have limited equipment available to you. Over the course of the campaign, you will be able to secure strategic sites such as weapons and vehicle depots, which will provide access to better gear and assets. Another mechanic that I plan to try out in these missions, and may scrap if it doesn't work well, is popular support. Certain actions will lead to an increase or decrease in support from the civilian population (e.g., excessive civilian deaths will lower it, and securing propaganda stations/freeing political prisoners will increase it). The level of popular support your cause has will affect certain factors in the missions (strength of enemy forces, civilian cooperation, etc). If the level of popular support drops too low, this may trigger certain consequences that will remain a secret for now. I may also include certain "events" that may occur depending on the success or failure of the rebellion. A lot of the missions will be fairly open ended, where I will place down several objectives and the platoon leader can decide to do as many or as few as they wish, depending on what they feel is strategically viable. Others will be set objectives that may have a critical impact on the "story" of the campaign.
