Odin has released his Gasbombparticle and Damage Effects script v3 on the OFPEC forums. How to use this script is included in the scripts header as well a description file with the CfgSounds filled out for users to be able to cut & paste into thier own description as well the sounds folder.
Basicaly, Once triggered a Bomb is created using a barrel to simulate the shell with my attempt at a missile trail attached, on impact it will expload causing minimal Damage to Static and Land typ classes (25 meter radius), after which the Gas effects kick in causing damage to Units in and out of vehicles both Randomly and within certain distance to object looped for 20 seconds. While the loop is in action it checks the Damage for units within the Array, if a units damage corrisponds to the check's, a certain playmove or coughing sounds are initiated for that unit including player. If player is within 200 meters of the Object the player will experince white flashes every time they take new damage. After the effect is finished the user is offered an optional Body Removal for all dead within the Array.
stubblehopper has informed us about the latest developments concerning his WW2 Project. He also included 2 more screenshots showing his Opel Blitz and Tank Crew (using an OFP imported Tiger and Vilas's WW2 Weaponspack)
Been working on a few things lately, here's a screen of my Waffen SS Panzer Crew in peadot 44 uniforms and a shot of some Frontline Russian infantry. There's an opel blitz truck ready for release and of course the Panzer crews. However, the armour you see in the shots are straight OFP imports and I can't release them without the original author permissions, all I've done is modify the config.ccp files to get them in game with arma. I've had some cracking ww2 games with them and upgraded the Tiger armour thickness and range. The infantry you see in the shots are modifications of Vilas ww2 pack, and again I can't release them without his permission. I have asked but he has asked me to wait until he upgrades the weapons, so theres a bit of a catch unfortunately.
The only things I could release right now are the panzer crews and the Opel Blitz, which arn't dependant on anyone else, so unfortunately folks until I get some release permissions you'll just have to wait!

icemotoboy has released new pictures showing his USEC Snow Units, and he has told us that he'll postpone the work on Nunivak Island.
After difficulties getting my Nunivak Island I was developing (huge map) with the upgrade to v1.14, I decided to refocus my efforts. Hence I'm now modelling some units for Spirit to use with his awesome Watkins Island mod.
I decided rather than doing unit retextures I wanted to recreate the entire model, so here's where I am at. They're ready for release with the next Watkins Island, but there are still a few bugs (can be seen in photos). I've also started retexturing weapons and am working on modelling snow vehicles.

Finally we have some good news, thanks to ASZ_Pedagne Mod that is helping our team, we have quite ready some FAPLA units (People's Armed Forces for Angola Liberation) that are the Opfor regular angolan units of our mod dedicated to the Border Bush war.
They are dressed in their typical cuban lizard cammo, in two variants, pilot and crew are also included dressed in kaki-brown suit.
Soon we will start with SWAPO/PLAN guerrillas, then SADF Nutria troopies (SADF - 8th SAI).
ObmaR is going on with his large amount of work (Weapons pack, Vehicles, 32 Btn, Teaser island, Impala Mk II etc...).
These unist will carry BWC weapons pack that will include AK47, AKM, RPG7, RPD etc...
Consider that teh work amount is rather big, the team is limited and everyone is busy with real life issues.
