I recommend the book this Camp is based on btw Spotter, there are quite a few detailed maps and pictures, as well as a good bit of discussion in the blogosphere about the book and Rusty Bradley (now a Major with 5 rotations in Afghanistan under his belt).

k, i'll see if i can get it.

OVERVIEW:

~ Maybe some decent standalone Canadian army units or a Dutch Apache reskin if they exist

This pack contains Dutch Apache's.

These are the only Canadians but they are pretty decent.

Thanks a lot crimsontide, looks like Armaholic is down at the moment I'm writing this ( ) I need to make a consideration before adding these to the requirements- for the convenience factor as well as the "essential part of the story" factor. Northstar, unfortunately, won't make it because it's a full-on mod and a hefty download I don't even currently have, but the book never actually brings the reader in close contact with the Canadian forces. If only the author (or someone with permission) could extract and release the units as a standalone pack. As for the Dutch Apache's, as I'm reading in the book, they only appeared for support once so it may not be necessary to add this as a requirement.

I'm starting to think about the Forgotten Few camp, and doing a lite addon release (only need the island of Reshmaan, Tier One and ANA/ANP) and a separate mod-lover's release which will include a number of RH weapon mods, BB OA Mercs, Dutch Apache Reskin, and perhaps Operation Northstar (maybe a bonus mission or two to play as Canadian or Dutch Pilot during Sperwan Ghar) and CBA for TPWCAS/TPWLOS.

Which one would you guys opt for and do you think this is a worthwhile way of doing it?

EDIT: Looking at the Northstar mod (which is misspelled Nortstar on the Armaholic page, someone should fix that), it is only 200mb and really includes everything you need, which would be incomplete otherwise, but the point still stands about it's place in an expanded addon w/ bonus content. I personally like the idea of encouraging mod use with bonus stuff.

I like mods so I personally would probably do the full version, but that's just me.

Update: Mission 4 is mostly in-place, I'm beginning to move to the main battle of the Campaign.

New updates:

~ Clarified mission list (check first post) - 10 missions are confirmed in the lineup, 2 or 3 more to be announced.
~ Mission 6 - The Voice of Death - mission is 90% complete!
~ Operation Northstar confirmed as a required addon, Canadian Army and Special Forces are now featured in the Campaign
~ Mission 7 - Black on Ammo - mission is 80% complete
~ Screenshot update will be on the way tonight or early tomorrow!

Things are coming along quite nicely as I had a bit of time to sit down and concentrate on the camp this past Labor Day weekend. There is a pretty diverse mixture of gameplay in the Campaign so far - Attacking on foot or by vehicle, stealth at night, full-on assaults by day, down time and pitched combat, playing as numerous members of ODA 331, as well as the Afghan Army and Canadian SOF.

Hoping to have a beta ready for testing soon.

Also, is there anyone in the community who knows of, or knows how to do, an iPod-style interface? In one mission, I am allowing the player to choose music from their iPod in the HMMWV and would like a simple GUI to frame it. Not a huge deal, but I figured I'd throw it out there and ask.

EDIT: I just remembered there's an iPhone-looking thing in the PMC campaign, I wonder if there's a tutorial on accessing it here on the forums somewhere...
