RubixRaptor wants us to know that the Vietnam War experience of Arma 3 Creator DLC: S.O.G. Prairie Fire is one of agonizing pain. We beg to differ, because his video featuring brutal gameplay from one-life multiplayer scenarios looks to be an incredibly fun time for all involved!
"Speed and Brute Force" is the title of DarkLiberatorZone's YouTube video featuring exciting Operation TREBUCHET: First Contact gameplay.
COM-STREAM
On June 8th, Arma Community Manager LeClair attended a mega-op designed by DigbyTW for another Community Play Session Live Stream. This mega-op was based on the Utah Beach landings to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the beginning of the Normandy campaign.

Only July 13th, Arma Community Manager LeClair attended another Second World War special event - this time one based on the Battle of Britain. Designed and hosted by MrJayDarlington, this was the fourth iteration of his annual multiplayer event. Pilots took to the skies in Hurricanes and Spitfires to intercept German aircraft raiding the coast of England, while the ground crews serviced their aircraft between sorties. An operations room would interpret information relayed by radar and observation stations, and determine where and when to scramble fighters to.
