Shouldn't we fill up squad by squad with SL first? For example if I am able to attend I'd go for SL Alpha and then take Bryan as rifleman and Martin or Carkidd as medics and then etc. I'm sure Double and Kav and Hater will be happy to lead as well and probably others. That way we'd have at minimum SL, medic and rifleman sorted for multiple squads. Or does that not make sense?

Just one question. Silenced weapons would be knife? Or what weapons would we have?

This looks sweet. I would probably go for officer or medic but I am not sure if I will have time on that date. Will let you know closer to the event if there are still spots available.

Call me a n00b but I always heard the cannon that the Americans built a plane around was the most impressive. Granted. It does sound like a bad night after bad curry.

Epic!

Oh man I am so looking forward to this! I can also confirm I will attend. My wife gave me permission after hours of begging. "But honey please... all the other cool guys get to go... and you know your mom doesn't really like me so imagine all the nice talking you can do without me!!!"

Oh man! I really hope I can finally join one of these events. If I can - to be confirmed - I would like to join Carkidd's tank squad.

Whoa! Congrats new =VG= members! You all earned it!

Ha! This is awesome! I always used to say: 'radio silence until further notice' when my squad was blablabla-ing like a bunch of hyperactive teenage girls and I was trying to coordinate with other squads and or commander typically I would always say 'okay boys radio silence is over' but one time I simply forgot and we ran into a firefight and no one says a word until while I am trying to coordinate and this brilliant guy goes: 'can we break radio silence sir, sir!!!' I laughed my ass off and said 'yeah my bad call your fucking targets!!!' Okay I guess it was one of those you should have been there moments...

I actually don't have an issue with it. If you're a squad leader you're going to have to work with what you have and if you're only 10 people on Muttrah you can organize it to defend it and wait for reinforcements to come. I have done this multiple times in the not so recent past with some really great players and we had 'fun' struggling our way defending. And eventually assaulting. That's part of the charm of the game. Fight together. I understand the objections some have but come on. If you have five good people in your squad you should be able to defend effectively no doubt. We once held Muttrah docks for something like 90 minutes with pain truthfully and only about eight players by keep rebuilding our defenses playing smart and having fun while doing it. Then the reinforcements arrived and we finally had air support, trans and other teams to support us and we still won it at the end. Best squad of course. It was pretty awesome. In short don't whine and make the best of it.

Well guys. I'm sorry but I have to cancel. Sorry.

I thought I had applied for a tank gunner position - perhaps with Carkidd? But I think I didn't reply. My bad. So this please and if possible another gunner position other than that happy to do infantry. Thanks!

Oh I see now. Gullible me... It's an ancient unban request. I will leave it there.

I had some massive PC issues (keyboard and mouse failure mostly) and had to give up But was it fun? I'm still pissed off it didn't work out for me but at least tell me you had an awesome time.

He doesn't remember but because of @WCCBadploy and @FastJack I know how to play this game. Things have changed however so we need more active people like you two to teach the noobs.

Obviously admins need to 'feel' the server and just keep it clean and bend the rules when applicable. It's not a Nazi job where you have to enforce the rules at all times. It's about fun. I had previously heard some rumours and adjustments (you must join a squad) that turned out to be false and not the rule of thumb let alone the general rule. So it's good we keep talking . Now as for the APC discussion, I think we all agree that jeeps and trucks are up for grabs to the squad that uses them effectively. My only point is that you can have a full infantry squad cooperating in an APC and thus winning a map. Or you can have a bunch of guys using armoured personnel carriers as tanks. That's it. Personally I have seen little proper usage of APC's by an APC squad and therefore I am a big fan of the IFV (Mechanical Infantry) squad as a rule suggestion. In some maps this should be the rule per definition (imho) and it would be fun for everyone, noobs and veterans. With Operation Marlin for example I think that all infantry squads should be IFV-I, II etc. and get it sorted. But that's just my opinion and like all opinions they're assholes because everyone has one. I just want to throw it out there.

On the calendar mate. The Mrs. has been told to go out with the 'girls' so I am all set. Just curious to know who else is attending and what roles? Myself. I sign up for infantry but happy to be gunner on any asset as well. Hoorah!

But back on track. All in favour of focus on infantry and thus priority is set on utilizing APC's in the most effective way meaning Mechanized Infantry. Say Aye. Those who are opposed say Ney.

That's up to the individual squad leader. Personally I see an 8-man outfit for effective TOW usage as such: One TOW humvee. For tank-destroyer purposes. Driver, gunner and medic. (Medic evacs always on target) One .50 cal. humvee. For anti-infantry support and transport. The rest of the team. Team is: Two medics. One for each vehicle. One heavy AT. Back up for TOW 2nd vehicle. A machine gunner or AR. Second vehicle only for infantry engagement. A combat engineer. Fix the cars. A rifle man. Supplying. A grenadier. Bomb the shit out of infantry. AT units. A squad leader. The moron that is tasked to take charge. Pending on the maps. But typically yeah it is a combination for the win. At least I think so.

Mechanical infantry is fine for this. I never saw APC squads whining that it's their asset. I don't see the issue. Call yourself Mechanical infantry and go for it. On a sidenote. I am no fan of the APC squad gets the assets rule because there's far more 'fun' in a Mech squad and it's more effective. Especially because most people only 'tank' with APC's anyway. I would be in favour of bumping Mech Inf to being the first priority for these assets. But obviously that's just a suggestion

Wow the classics. Old school Jalalabad! Love the back story. Subtle query? Why Iran? What is their game? What about Russia? So many questions... No but seriously awesome!

Works!!!

-edit- It was my bad ass Lenovo

Yeah I am with @Blazer. Thanks @=VG= Melon Muncher. I say rematch on the maps soon.

On a different note. My friendly bots or enemy bots aren't spawning. Is that something in my local settings? I am fairly certain I am doing something wrong here. I had it with one map previous event now in all. No biggie just curious.
