Echo that, it was pretty good fun, makes a huge difference playing deployment with guys you already know. I can see this taking off the adrenaline rush is something else. There's no reason why we couldn't organize regular events for PR or BMS for that matter. I'm currently schooling up on SEAD missions but we could have rookie missions for those wanting to get into it. The footage is great @=VG= SemlerPDXbe good to have a camera man for both sides of the battle those panoramic views are cool!

Yeah pretty easy to use the camera, hit SHIFT + P when you're in the game and away ya go. https://squad.gamepedia.com/Server_Administration#Spectator_Camera

i'm happy to step down from the SL position on the day to let others have a go at leading, building assets, HABs etc. The sign up list is just a good way to build interest in the event.

Agreed, I also think we should start a new thread to discuss what goes into those rules, my only suggestion is that we shouldn't stray too far from the Squad Developer's Guidelines if we are hoping to become a licensed server some ways down the track. Somehow we'll need to incorporate official Squad guidelines and principles into our "Official =VG= Squad Server Rules". http://forums.joinsquad.com/topic/7849-game-server-administration-guidelines/ The Squad wiki for server admins: https://squad.gamepedia.com/Server_Administration

No need @ranger_12 see you at the next one!

Awesome event that was a huge amount of fun, no wonder us insurgents had so much trouble with the Brits rofl! Footage is absolutely the "ducks guts" Sem! If you missed this event it was a biggie no doubt we will all get better at this with time. Still fighting with controls, deploying HABs and all that technical stuff but we just gotta keep doing this on a regular basis. Its a lot better when we've got full squads on both sides, and pretty intensive, gets the blood pumping! Thanks everyone for turning up and best of all having fun!!

Done

The problem with no mic is that Squad does not have the commo rose equivalent AFAIK that we have in PR but it does have text chat so it is possible I guess to run a squad without a mic, not ideal though.

Yes this Skirmish layer could be a good way to start off, very simple and probably fairer for both factions.

If you're new to squad it might be useful to complete the Pre-Deployment Training tutorial before the event. I see both sides have armored vehicles, technicals, APCs, Tanks, although the Brits seem a bit too OP.

If you have admin access please feel free to edit the post and add yourselves to a squad.

Sorry for the confusion that was Aussie date format, fixed. Welcome BLuDKLot.

No problem pick a squad and role soldier!

True but a nicely aimed RPG through a window can be effective lol.

That's great Golden but can you be more specific? Do you want to lead a squad, if so which one? If not please state what role you wish to be in and which particular squad. All admins I assume can edit the post and add themselves to an appropriate position. The roles I've put up are my best guess of a what will be available based on the kit restriction tables above but obviously once we all log in it will depend on what each squad leader requires on the day. The squad composition is only a suggestion, some of us are flying blind with SQUAD but that's cool, as I've implied many of us have very little experience in squad so its going to be a potential mess for the first event I suspect. We are ALL noobies!!!! ROFL!

I have used FRAPs but it produces massive AVI files that need to be converted so now I just use the XBox Game Bar App which is part of Windows 10, its very easy to use and you can just hit WIN + ALT + R to record while in game and WIN + ALT + M to turn the mic on or off. The video quality is pretty good, file size quite reasonable, format .mp4 https://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-game-bar

Created an event page for this weekend here, feel free to edit this page Binary.

OPERATION CHAOS (SQUAD) Saturday, April 11, 2020 20:00:00 ZULU (GMT/UTC/PRT) Password: vgsquad Max 40 Players On Event! EVENT BRIEF: KIT RESTRICTIONS: The following tables show the kit restrictions for player numbers in each squad INSURGENTS: OBJECTIVE: This event is the first (dis)organized event on our new =VG= SQUAD server. No doubt it will be a complete shambles as some of us find out how to play this game for the first time. While many of you will be as competitive as hell, it is also a time to evaluate what the new rules should be for this server which is a player vs player environment. Have fun and get to know the SQUAD gaming platform. ASSETS AVAILABLE - Logistics Trucks, Motorbikes, Technicals, AAV, APCs, Tanks, guns, guns, guns! Please meet in TS prior to start of event. To login to the =VG= server launch Squad and select CUSTOM BROWSER, SET Filters > Show Empty Servers, Show Full Servers. Mission Brief The first mission will be a Skirmish map on Al Basrah ver 1- British Army vs Insurgents, this has no armor, just Logistic Trucks and Technicals, light vehicles which will allow us to set up HAB (FOBS), assets and emplacements. Gives us a chance to get used to radio comms, and squad maneuvers & close quarter combat. Second Mission will include armor on Al Basrah Territory Control or we could do AAS, we can choose whatever map you want.

Great idea Binary, post up an event style page like Sausage did for his Arma 3 event. That one happened on a Saturday at 20:00 ZULU and was well populated, we could have a sign up registration to get some sort of commitment. Do it bud!

Brilliant!

I was in there yesterday and it was excellent, no lag whatsoever for me which is good considering I'm in Oz. Better performance than I got playing on an Aussie server actually. Maybe that will change once we get more players and assets on the server but for now it looks good. Like Binary said you need to check "Show empty servers" to see it on the Custom Server list and add to your favorites, piece of cake! Can we organize a zulu time to meet up in the weekend to do some squad training, perhaps? Imagine 40 VG players showing up and going at it 20 vs 20, that's bad ass!
