------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello y'all. Thought I'd liven up the place with a new thread.
What's this thread about?
It's about you and your imagination. It's about you creating a "fictional" ArmAverse starting from the end of the PMC campaign and the begining of the ArmA 3 campaign.
You can portray anything regarding anyone and anyplace. So, if you want to imagine something that does not have to do with Europe and Iran, go ahead.

Guidelines

The scenarios have to tie into the scarce information we have until now:
"10'th Chinese AirCav supported by 1'st Fleet overrun the X island formation in the South China Sea in 2017" or " 100 GB of classified files were stollen from NATO servers by the P8H8 hacker group in 2016" or "Norway sent another frigate to Somalia in 2015" -GOOD (Plaussible scenarios that do not affect the official BIS timeline)
" NATO went to Iran and F'ed shit up for the Iranians in 2017" -BAD (Iran F'ed shit up for NATO)

THIS IS NOT A WISHLIST THREAD. Use THIS thread if you want to make a wish.

Don't be afraid to go crazy. Remember that nukes went off around the world in the ArmAverse and it's WW3 all up in this place

Your idea can come under any form. It can be a news video, written news article, photo(screenshot).

Good thread, though being the pessimist I am, and in the light of the sparse information available, I fear it won´t grow large.

I´ll see if I can contribute something though. I love community art projects

Cheers . I'll cook up an article myself later tonight or maybe tomorrow and post it here. I'll also update the first thread with links to the user ideas

"Norway sent another frigate to Somalia in 2015" -GOOD

Not so probable. With the speed the norwegian military is decommissioned, by 2015 the Norwegian Navy will be as impressive as the Swiss Navy.

True that, but then again the US has RAH-66's in the ArmAverse. Plus it was ment as an guideline example, one that does not affect the BIS timeline in any major way.

San Antonio Naval Base, San Antonio CA, USA

If you would happen to drive by San Antonio Naval Base this mourning, you would see crowds of people gathered both inside and outside the US Navy base. The ones inside are family members of the sailors aboard the USS Geralt. S. Fox aircraft carrier, the United States newest, biggest and most advanced aircraft carrier.
The ones outside are members of the "Homeland Now" movement, protesting against further over seas deployment of US forces.

The USS Geralt S. Fox will be replacing the USS George Walington aircraft carrier within 7'th Fleet , lost 1 month ago due to a reactor meltdown durring a joint naval exercise with the Chinese Navy as reported here on AAN.
Navy spokesman, Cmdr. John Rico had this to say: " The US is demonstrating it's commitment to it's Asian allies by assiging it's most powerfull ship to the Pacific Fleet. Let this by a counter to the rumors that the US has lost interest in safegurading the area."
Cmdr. Rico was reffering to the more and more present speculations within international media that the US is planning a major withdrawl of forces from the Pacific area. Rumours founded by the decommissioning of 10 ships throughout 2014-2016 belonging to 7'th Fleet including the USS Flashpoint, flagship of 7'th Fleet.
The aircraft carrier will be escorted by the navy destroyers USS Theodor Wolle and USS Mark S. Foxhound until it reaches Huzishima Naval Base in Japan.

Athens, Greece

Only 30 minutes remains for so called Occupy Government radical terrorist movement to withdraw. Almost 150 people are still held inside Hellenic Parliament as hostages. Syntagma Square is filled with young radicals holding machine guns and Greece flags. One of our reporters was let to make interview with leader of radicals. These are his words: "We strive 2 years, pay high taxes, no help for poor people... Now the government sells our whole country. This is my country and I'm gonna defend it against western business even if it means killing the enemies. We are not going anywhere until US army goes away". In the meanwhile US special forces counter-terrorist unit is preparing for eventual attack. Occupation of Hellenic Parliament started 3 days ago after Greece Prime minister unveiled his plan for saving the country from deep economic crisis. This plan assumes presence of foreign military forces, mostly US, in the Greece for taking care of security. Both China and Russia insisted on no intervention of US forces in this event this morning.

France, Paris

French Ministry of Defense (MoD) issued a press release about a latest data breach in french military networks. According to press release, all attacks originated from Iran. This is 4th known attack this year. According to MoD spokesman dozens of other Internet attacks were made by Iran in last 3 years. "Hopefully no sensitive information was stolen". These attacks comes shortly after reports of major data breaches in UK and US military networks. Internet activists claims that these attacks are made up by government to allow easier progress of undergoing plan of UK and France to cooperate in filtering Internet. Julian Assange has given us a statement from his exile in Russia: "Clearly this is a lie. It's part of plan for global Internet censorship. We're heading towards Orwell's 1984 world". The spokesman of french MoD mentioned in his speech that preventive attack on Iran is now highly possible. Jean Girard, a student of political science says that such adventurous claims are over-estimated in current political situation in France.
