[Protector]

Im guessing you are not looking for anymore testers? I have alot of game testing experience and also texturing experience as I was lead texture artist for Darkest Hour and participated in all the test sessions

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Thank you for your offer. As pointed out before, to be able to join in the beta test sessions you either need to join the HIP mod team or one of our beta test communities.

Here's the second mission we will play next Sunday. Infos on the TvT will follow.

FHW beta test session #15:
Mission 2 - COOP: Exeter River Front

location: British-Indian/Burmese border region

time: April 2nd, 1944, 06:00

weather: overcast, ground fog

situation:

During the Japanese 'U GO' offensive, several surprise engagements led to battles with unclear fronts, encirclement attempts and the like.

In this case, the British strongpoint Exeter near an unnamed river has been bypassed and the exposed position is likely to be overun now.

Are the Allied forces able to hold off the Japanese until reinforcements arrive, or will they fall to the superiour numbers of the attackers?


Task:

The situation to our north is unclear. It looks like the Japanese broke throug or infiltrated the positions there.
HQ fears that Strongpoint Exeter or maybe even the airstrip to it's South will be attacked from several sides.
Should the enemy succeed, he could smash the front of the entire sector here.

Due to the alarming situation, we have been granted reinforcements. We don't yet know when they will arrive, but we need to hold at least the airstrip, otherwise the fresh troops will no longer attempt to reach our position but try and form a new front to our south. In that case, our operation here would have failed.

If we hold out until reinforcements arrive, it will start to look bad for the Japanese. They could no longer hope to push us out of the area, and we might be able to start a counter-offensive to re-capture Strongpoint Exeter, in case it was lost before.

Good luck gentlemen.
For the empire, god and the king!



blue area to the North: Strongpoint Exeter (starting position)
blue area to the South: British Airstrip
red arrows: possible Japanese directions of attack


friendly forces:

- we are well equiped with static MGs and AT guns.
- we don't have artillery pieces at the moment.
- air support will be available later today.
- we don't have any tanks at our disposal yet.

- the reinforcements consist of several infantry platoons, tanks and artillery. They will be supported by fighter-bombers.


enemy forces:

- enemy strength unknown. Due to the difficult terrain, intelligence believes that we don't need to expect enemy tanks.
- since yesterday, we can cearly hear that the enemies are well supported by artillery
- expect enemy air attack.


Notes:

This mission is not based on any real battle, but I guess something like it could have taken place.
We use this as test bed for some new stuff (Vickers MG), new parts of the map and new mission framework scripts. We'll let you know how it went!

Haha I hope you have been enjoying it! I wouldn't mind helping out on the texture side of life but would need a little "getting started guide" as I know literally nothing about texturing in Arma, I have only ever worked with the unreal engine!

[BraTTy]

I'm too late for playtest
