CSLA (Czechoslovak People's Army) is a faction that features ground and air forces of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (CSSR) from the 1980s. CSLA's role was to be the shield of Warsaw Pact armed forces which was a result of its geographic location, with NATO/AFMC forces stationed in Germany to the west. The main objective was to defend the CSSR and the whole Eastern Bloc from western aggression. Ground forces consist of a number of foot and motorized divisions, para and reconnaissance units. All units are equipped with vz.58 assault rifles, vz.59 machine guns and other personal czechoslovak and eastern bloc made weapons. For transport, deployment and combat, the famous Tatra cargo trucks are used, along with OT-64 SKOT, OT-65, BVP-1 and BVP-2 armoured personnel carriers. The main strike force consists of T-72 main battle tanks. Skies over the "red" territory were guarded by Mi-24 Hind and Mi-8 helicopters, Su-25, L-39 ground support jets and Mig-29 air superiority fighters. CSLA is on the OPFOR side for historical reasons.
AFMC (Armed Forces of the Midland Coalition) is a fictional BLUFOR opponent representing western bloc armed forces. Their main task was to stabilize the region and assure security for the civil population. Equipment of the AFMC army is a mixture of western weapons like FN FAL and M16 assault rifles, FN MAG machine guns and vehicles like 5t trucks, Land Rovers, M113 APCs. The older M60A3 and M1A1 main battle tanks are used for front-line combat. Air transport of AFMC troops is ensured by MH-60, AH-6 transport helicopters and close air support for ground forces is provided by AH-1T helicopters and A-10 attack jets.
FIA is an independent guerilla force fighting against both, the west and east regime. Their unexpected ambushes are able to corrupt usual enemy transport but also to inflict higher casualties during attacks on lightly guarded opponent bases. They try to gain control of local terriroty, moving in small groups on light vehicles such as BTR-40, armed Datsun and mostly armed with captured AK-47 rifles, PK machine guns and RPGs.

NodUnit has posted several new wip screens of his upcoming Ah-64d Apache addon on the BI-Forums.
Just a small update thist ime..more of a concept though some things may be used on the damage model later depending on how it all looks and works once the black boxes are finished. Otherwise what do you all think about having base props of a tied down, and in maintinence version?
Ignore the pylon weaponry..that's not supposed to be there
More will be opened up later such as parts of the tail, possibly the horizontal stabilizer removed along with the tailwheel armor plate, engines will be added though I need to plan those out so they aren't too costly if they get ingame and the storage compartments might be opened.
Christian.1987 has released his Cigarette Addon as final version for ArmA2:Combined Operations on the BI-Forums. This addon needs ArmA2 and Operation Arrowhead.
So Guy´s, i have found free time for a Updating the *Funny* Cigarett AddOn for ArmA2:OA,CO. (This work has grown out of boredom)
Michal Harangozó from Bohemia Intractive has informed us about a short delay in ArmA2 : Private Military Company release. The new relase date is scheduled for 30th November 2010 (= 6 days, original release date had been scheduled on 24th November).
Prague, Czech Republic 18th November - Bohemia Interactive, the award winning Czech independent development studio, announces a new release date for its addon,
Arma 2: Private Military Company - Tuesday 30th November 2010.
ARMEX, the Multi-Player Armory - a new, unique feature, introduced last week in a developer's video update - will be also available for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and Arma 2: British Armed Forces.
The original Armory mode - an interactive library featuring all in-game models - was first introduced in Arma 2. Building upon this unique game mode, the Multiplayer Armory enables players to try out all weapons and every single vehicle model from Arma 2 in dynamically generated missions with up to eight friends online or over LAN!
"The new Multi-Player Armory feature is so exciting and promising, that we decided to implement it to Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and British Armed Forces as well" said Marek Spanel, Bohemia´s CEO. He continued: "unfortunately, implementation over two games - particularly where these are already released - is a difficult process, and requires extra care. The gameplay gets a new, fresh stimulation and we're sure it's worth it".

Facility OKB-754 was the central hub of Takistan's nuclear weapons programme, which reached it's zennith in late 1999 with the detonation of a 5-10 kton device, before being forcibly abandoned due to sanctions from the international community. The test site was devastated by an underground detonation, which exceeded the expected yield and breached the surface of the ground, distributing a small quantity of radiation around the immediate area; forcing any local activity out of the region.
Operation Black Gauntlet follows a new recruit hired by ION, Inc., the PMC group tasked with providing security for a UN investigation team persuing information pertaining to Takistan's
