Charlie Foxtrot: Vitrual War for Real (a large-scale ArmA II PvP Tournament)

[Mickd]

I am very interested at this...i just wanna ask you,do you play serious?Like,using compass navigation,gps,leading,covering,various formations and stuff like that?

The competition is serious enough, everyone wants to win. We remove alot of the safety nets regarding navigation so you need some basic nav skills like using a compass yes i suppose. No cross hairs, no 3rd person, no command spotting so its pretty tough for casual players I guess. Some units use formations, some dont, it depends on the unit leader i suppose. The important thing is its organised, orders are given, orders are followed, strategies discussed, its fun.

And is there any chance to try it for free at first?

CF is and always will be free. You only have to pay if you wish to pick a side. Many people wish to pay in their second campaign as they meet people they like to play with and like that security blanket. Many long term veterans go random as they dont care who they play with as they know almost everyone.

Charlie Foxtrot Community Update
So the first official Charlie Foxtrot is drawing to a close. This will be the last battle. Fear not, we will begin CF2 after 3 weeks of Scriming/Testing/Reforming over the Christmas period. CF2 is pencilled into start on January 10th and should do so with no major problems. As mentioned there will be three scrims at the usual times on Sundays. We understand many of you will be AFK from Christmas but if you can come and help get set up for CF2. There are always scrims, regardless of any holidays.

New Scoring System being used for Battle 10
As all of you will be aware, we have been overhauling our battlemap from the ground up over the last 5 weeks or so. We are totally revamping it, many of you will have been following its development in the map release threads. After consultation with both the armies, we will be swapping out the existing scoring system for the new one for Battle 10. This is to help iron out any bugs, test gameplay and to whet you guys whistles for CF2. I really urge you guys to come and play this weekend, it will be exciting. A brief guide as to the scoring system will be posted in the armies barracks so you can read up on the system. This weeks battle will still be fought on the East Front, still starting at Mogilevka so your planning is still relevant. Army equipment will be as per any battle day bar one change. There will be no Mortar or other deployable objects at this time. No artillery will be in this map, we will add it in the coming weeks. As a note, the Off Map Artillery System developed by Ashby, is on the CF Server for playtime!

Battle 7 results


This previous Sunday we used a new cap system. It proved to be very interesting. At the start the RS were very quickly into the Area of Operations (AO) and quickly took control of the vast majority of it. The SI were slower but were able to nibble away at the RS positions. Fire fights and armor battles were breaking out all over the place. Eventually the SI were able to push into the core of the town and take control of it at the end. In the end it was a close battle and one which everyone enjoyed.

Here are some videos from Battle 7. Both of these are from either sides armor groups which is always an interesting perspective lol:
