Waxbutter has informed us about the release of WX_WW2 addon Mod on the BI Forums. This totally unexpected addons pack made to run alongside with 31stWWA2 mod features a lot of nice addons from the Sten to the BMW R75.
This addon-Mod is to be used together with 31stWWA2 mod. The Vehicles use the 31stWWA2 Drivers, Gunners, Commanders and Pilots.

You can drop your weapon on the ground, and it will display the weapon model with the correct ammo models, no pouches.
Its work in progress so the textures are far from finished, some models dont even have good UV-maps, tho its still very playable. Please use this mod in a save manner so you can have lotsa fun with it.
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!
Icewindo has released a Sahrani Civilians 1.0 addon ported from ArmA on the BI Forums. Contains Sahrani Civilians from ArmA1 converted to ArmA2 Changes from the ArmA1 models: -darkened blood textures to match ArmA2 blood textures -replaced the original rvmats with ArmA2 rvmat setups, they look a bit more crispy graphics wise this way -edited uv layout for the shorts-models as BIS removed the leg texture from the face textures -replaced old heads with ArmA2 heads, likewise replaced geo, fire, etc. LOD Note: The "weighted" civilians ("...tulstoch.p3d") couldn't be included as BIS didn't create a "weighted" face for ArmA2.

Massi has informed us about the release of an updated Italian Special Forces v1.082 addon on our Forums as well as a SOF AB412 chopper pack.
v1.082 date 10/Mar/2010
-Fixed "multicam" light recon units textures. -Fixed "vegetata" textures. -Crews now come in "desert" and "vegetata" uniforms. -Added an ACE2 optional config file (to be used only with ACEX). -Added another replacement file for "desert" environment islands.
And this is just a small Extra for all the Italian SOF users… They’re 4 models ingame, one standard and one with Medical abilities for both the 2 camos. They require Italian SOF v.1.082 (look just above for them), and once installed you’ll find them in the editor under: Bluefor - Italian SOF - Italian Army aviation So now our Italian Spec Ops don’t need to go always around on foot !!!
IceBreakr informed the community that he has released his Afrenian Army addon for Arma 2's Isla Duala island on the BI Forums.
With the help of LoBo and GIR Team Afrenian Army got its first unleased vehicle for army & police operations: Pinzgauer 710M 4x4! zGuba, Panda, NZDF Crash, wld427 & Randy put extra effort in the project and I would like to thank them for all their work, help and support. You guys are great.
Known issues: - Vehicle floats at the back if both wheels get blown off - Cabin windows don't break properly yet - Rpgs can rip through the back soft cover (feature? heh) - "Polisie" written backwards on the right side (texture optimization, unable to fix)
Guys, be extra careful offroading with pinz. New 2.7-litre engine can produce severe torque and vehicle can be very fragile when hitting solid objects (tnx Cpt. Obvious!).
LJF has informed the community about the release of his Pазорения island on the BI Forums.
Разоренный which is Razoreniya, "ruin", a Soviet settled island near Madagascar, the name means ruin.
Description: 5.12 x 5.12 km
I wanted to go for the tropical[ish] Africa, so there's some near-jungle around as well as the typical savanna-type places.
There isn't a lot of settlement, though there is a ruined Soviet city in the west and scattered farms other small constructions about the place. This is partly due to taste and partly because I want mission makers to have plenty of room and not be locked into a set plan.
Rip31st has informed us about the release of a patch .99a for the 31st Normandy mod.
Version .99a Notes: Fixed players respawning in single player missions with modern weapons, added US 60mm mortar classes to each parent class of US infantry. Code provided in this readme addresses multiplayer issue of spawning/respawning without weapons.
Contains Units for ArmA2 converted from the PC game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl" of GSC Gameworld with their permission (see credits).
Changes to the models were done in the following: -Created named selections for animating the units -Added blood textures -Added Several LODs -added models with ArmA2 heads
The units will animate in general ok, but as they're completely different models than stock ArmA2 and as a limit of my skills,the units will look funny from the side when kneeling and have stretching issues in some death positions. So, consider this a WIP release.
Marseille77 released a new updated version v1.2 of his Officers Pack on the BI Forums.
This addon contains 3 different Officers of the West German Army from the 1970's to the 2000's, 2 Policeman version of the GDR, 2 olympic Sportswoman (clothes style of Summer Olympic Games 1988 in Seoul), Makarov and West German Policeman.
We try to bring out all ideas about Swedish stuff that are possible in ArmA2. Soldiers, weapons and combat-vehicles, but also more random stuff like buildings, bunkers, camouflaged-nets, civilan stuff, and static objects that can be of interest for serious mission-editors. The only two demands we have on our content is that it should somehow be connected to Swedish military scenarios, and be of a certain quality to match the game.
This also means that we actually dont have any detailed plans of how the mod will end up and what it will contain. We will always be open for new and more ideas. In other words, there will always be something to work on!
-Modern graphic quality of the content-
Sure, good looking graphics isnt everything in a game, but it damn sure adds a massive touch of atmosphere and realism that we all want in our favourite games! All the content of SAM will be of good quality that matches the graphics of ArmA 2 (Some place-holders might occur though). This means that we will avoid porting stuff straight from OPF and ArmA1.
Instead we look for people who are willing to contribute with new or updated content, no matter if it's a simple retex of an ammo-box, or a whole new setup of soldier-models. All work and contributions are appreciated, encouraged and noted!
-Begin small, end epic-
Even if we're happy to recieve just about anything that is connected to Swedish stuff, we of course still have priorities. Right now at the beginning our focus is mainly to build up a complete and useful set of infantry with any gear they might use. As these things get finished, and we get more people working on the project, we will move focus to transports and simpler vehicles, and then heavy armored vehicles and air. Basicly it's all about finishing what you started, to avoid ending up with a mod that just contains a lot of unfinished stuff.
-Full support for ACE2-
One of the major reasons to why we started this project is because we wanted our Swedish units to use as much of the awesomeness of ACE2 as possible. In other words, ACE2 will be required to run SAM as it's intended to. We will do our best to keep SAM updated with the latest functionality of ACE2, and make sure they run smoothly together.
-Open development-
We will have as active communication with the community as possible on several different forums, and always seek feedback on the contents of SAM. Praise or hate us, just come with something informative so we can either improve or explain ourselves.
Experienced "war-junkies" with special requests or faults to point out are especially welcome to come with detailed feedback. Since ArmA2 is a "simulator", we want our stuff to be as realistic as possible to match the gameplay. We will show and inform about our latest work as often as possible, and what's being planned in the nearest future. Questions are answered and we will try to be as accurate as possible with future release-dates.
The Swedish ArmA2-clan SSG will however work as our main base for testing and discussions. If you dont speak swedish, then this is our international official thread for any related discussions. We will update both places with just about the same information.
Features in Beta1:
-Retextured SF soldiers with Swedish M90 and M90K camo -Retextured Sniper ghillie in green and desert camo -Retextured Pilot
-Brand new AK5C (Ironsight, Aimpoint, ACOG and M203) -AK4 -KSP90 -KSP90B -KSP58 -Weapons and Ammo boxes -Retextured C130J Hercules -Swedish flag
Alright, gentlemen. Today we, Red Hammer Studios, would like to make our very first (and definitely not the last) release in ArmA2. Meet the vehicle, that some of you were waiting for some time already. Yes, It's the BMD-2, made by common efforts of the following RHS members: Soul_Assassin, topas and ist. It features not only the excellently crafted model with more than dozen of varients and extremely detailed and crisp textures, but also a bunch of special features, which allow you to use this IFV effectively in combat and customize it's visual look for your own taste. No need to further praise it to the skies - just grab it and see everything yourself!
Some of the features of this addon:
- A completely new and accurate model and textures - Custom animations for crew and cargo - Custom special effects such as muzzle flash and cartridge ejection - An advanced marking system in the form of rhs_decals - Variable clearance - Over 15 different versions with 10 camo patterns
