This mod is still very much WIP, but here's the latest progress report, almost finished these British Light Dragoons so I thought I'd show them off, just some finishing touches required.
NoRailgunner nas informed the community about the release of a new ArmA2 Operation ArrowheadYouTube trailer on the BI Forums. Three years after the conflict in Chernarus, portrayed in the original ARMA 2, a new flashpoint in the Green Sea region heats up and coalition forces led by the US Army are sent to Takistan to quickly restore peace and prevent further civilian casualties in the unstable region.
The first instalment in the series of ingame videos, introduces the factions in ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead, forthcoming standalone expansion pack to ARMA 2. This video introduces Alliance forces lead by the US Army which is sent to Takistan to quickly restore peace and prevent further civilian casualties in this unstable region.
To avoid any misunderstanding - the helicopter without pilot really exists :) it's not a bug - it's one of the UAVs and player will have the possibility to use them in game.

Raunhofer has released his Thirsk Island on the BI Forums. This map release comes with KuiK's Winter Camos addon featuring re-textured original BIS Arma 2 basic units (not inc. Civils and Insurgents) and Thirsk missions, the official pack of 7 coop MP missions.
Winter War ended exactly 70 years ago on this day, 13.3. with the signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty.
With the peace treaty, Finland was forced to cede a tenth of its pre-war territories, including cities like Vyborg, Sortavala and Käkisalmi. Additionally, Hanko had to be rented to the Soviet Union as a naval base for 30 years. 430 000 Karelians lost their homes.
Thirsk is a story from the borders of Finland and the deceased Soviet Union. If you close your eyes and listen carefully, you can still hear the distant grumble of artillery salvos and infantry shouting "Hurraa!" The area has been under Finland's and Soviet's control, which can be seen from the ruined communist villages and statues.
It is time to recall the memories of Thirsk and take up arms for one last time! ... Note: Thirsk Includes two islands!
