ArmA:ToW annouces the start of Campaign 1

The tenuous peace between the US and Russian forces on the disputed island of Sahrani, is today on the brink of collapse. The two forces have been building up their military presence on the island for months. Both sides being guilty of highly provocative "fun exercises" that have resulted in frequent skirmishes between their forces.

Our, incredibly precise, military analysts are predicting an imminent escalation of violence, in fact they are informing us that all out war over the islands future will commence at 17:00 GMT on Sunday 9th December 2007.

All existing troops are being asked to report to their commanding officers ready for assignment. Those civilians who feel passionately about the future of this island are being urged to enlist and help influence the battle's outcome.

Both sides are expected to spend these last days before battle commences, putting their latest recruits through boot camp, carrying out reconnaissance of the area of operations, training and developing tactics to 'remove' their enemies from this beautiful island permanently.

Glad you had fun CyDon. There are actually quite a few Euro's playing at AToW. While their pings range from 100ms to 200ms (depending on Euro location), most have said lag is bearable and the game is playable.

A quick update for those curious. We are entering Battle Week 5 of the on-going war. The Russian 7th Army has pushed the US Marines back to Cayo. But in a last minute assault, the Marines were able to fight back and retake part of Dolores, preventing the Russians from starting out there at the beginning of Week 5.

The way ArmA-ToW works is by the use of a custom Linked Objective System. This keeps the action tight, yet allows for a full Island war. Its very successful!

In this system, teamwork is everything. This is about as far from playing on a public server as you could get. You won't find team killers, hackers and bored kids goofing off. You'll find a friendly bunch of mature ArmA players determined to work as a team to win a large scale battle.

Of course my previous post was supposed to say "We have not had any down time since around christmas" I always miss the important word out smile_o.gif

It certainly seems to be isp/dns related. We have had some members who have had the issue but were able to connect by IP or via 3rd paty proxies

The Russians won Tour#1 but were made to fight very hard to finally defeat the US.

Tour#2 has the same great features as the sucessful Tour#1

and we have also been working hard on improving perfomance and the smoothe running of the actual tournament.

The second campaign will begin after the completion of Tour#2 and will introduce more new features/addons to develop the immersion experience even further.

We currently have around 60 players taking part in the battle, but have room for plenty more. So vist our site and check out the details and we hope you'll join in the fun.

Campaign 2 Begins Immediately

It seems that the peace talks between the Americans and the Russians have failed. The leaders of both Armies have left the negotiations in disgust and have vowed not to return. The UN intervened before things escalated out of control.

Through talks of compromise, the UN has done it's best to keep the peace between these Factions for several weeks since they last clashed. Yet retribution for losing Sahrahni in the US grows more powerful each hour and the spite from the Motherland, for desecrating their soil with foreign occupation, is too strong. UN has exhausted every possible avenue to create peace with these Nations, but after so many failed negotiations, talks have now since ceased. The UN fears the silence coming from both sides indicates preparations are being made. Another conflict, at this point, is imminent.

Seems there will be one "LAST PUSH" for Sahrahni.

Because of these latest developments, It is with great sadness and regret that we must once again ask you to leave your loved ones behind and fight for the honor and glory of your country.

ARMA Theatre of War's Last Push:

ATOW has once again used their unique objective and resource system to design a new combat zone for their players to fight over. The new objectives will be linked together with many other features including sounds, hitches, artillery, etc, all with the goal to encompass what ATOW is all about, having fun.

The Campaign will begin immediately this week Sunday August 3rd with a full 3 hour scrimmage both teams time to prepare for war over the new battlefield.

Then on Sunday August 10th at 17:00 GMT: WAR WILL BE DECLARED; making this "Last Push" a battle that will test the spirit and strength of both sides to the bitter end.

Join up with your Army now to become part of AToW's History!

   New Russian Mi24 Hind

   New Improved Russian T72 Tank

   New SPON Tactical Map

Armed Assault: Theatre Of War



Campaign 3 - Tour 2

After their first ever Tour 1 Victory the US, both armies are gearing up for the rematch ( at Theatre Of War we play each map twice - like changing ends at half time in Soccer).

Tour 1 had a couple of little hiccups as we have integrated A.C.E. into our campaign, but most of the issues seem to be resolved now.

So for those of you looking for some multiplayer team-vs-team A.C.E. action, pop on by for a boot camp.

We will proceed with Tour 2 starting on 19th April.
