The Arma 3 Aegis team has released some images previewing the new Takistani Special Forces faction that is coming soon™ in a new update for the Arma 3 Aegis mod. Keep an eye on their socials for further preview images of upcoming content.
jacktheviper has recently released a huge update for their Zeus WARGAME RTS mod! This update brings in a new Fog of War system and new Eden Editor modules to enhance gameplay. Be sure to check out the update by downloading the mod on the Steam Workshop.
The Zeus WARGAME RTS mod also features a new planning mode called "stacking." When multiple units are selected by the Zeus while in "Planning Mode," dragging a path arrow will synchronize those units paths with the arrow being dragged. When the path is executed the units will move in a file. A video showcasing this new feature is available on YouTube.
The JSDF Overhauled mod has received a small update. Artillery vehicles have been fixed and are now able to carry out firing missions, while some textures have been tweaked, and compatibility with Chemical Warfare Plus and Mavic 3 mods has been added. A full changelog for the update can be found here.

MrJayDarlington will be hosting a large-scale event on September 21st, marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem. Sign-ups are currently open, but act fast! There are already around 90 players who have shown interest, so be sure to visit the Jay's Discord server and sign-up while you still can!
Jay hosted Arma Community Manager LeClair last month for a Battle of Britain commemorative event. You can watch a VOD of the event from LeClair's perspective here.
Another 80th anniversary was noted by Heavy Ordnance Works last week - that of the Red Ball Express. This famous convoy system began operating on August 25th, 1944 and ran until November 16th (86 days). Staffed primarily by African-American soldiers, the convoy, emblazoned with red ball markings and following a closed "red ball highway" that was marked with signs, moved 12,500 tons of supplies a day and operated 5,958 vehicles at its peak. The efforts of the Red Ball Express were integral to Allied success in Normandy following the D-Day break out.
