ArmA: Queens Gambit Campaigns

[Big-Rooney 5]

As with many of you I was a bit disappointed with the attempts that BIS made with campaigns compared with the effort put into the Operation Flashpoint campaigns.

But then I realized that with the OFP campaigns there was a lot more to work with, being that it was set in a time where the U.S. was at a state of war with the Soviet union not some made up Soviet style enemy on a small island in the Atlantic.

So here I'm going to tell anyone who has any problems with the campaign missions how I got through them playing on the hardest difficulty level I could get. This one is based for the Campaign Rahmadi Conflict. I will be going in steps to make it easier to follow and understand.

Rahmadi Conflict:

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

SLA forces defeated in Bagango have fled to the southern island of Rahmadi. U.S. special forces teams have been dispatched to find and eliminated the enemy.

Mission 1: The Coast:

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

Your team start in a CRRC of the south-west coast of Rahmadi. Your team is not in your control at the start but when you disembark the boat you get control. There are two ways to play this mission. First is "Stealth" and other is "Aggressive".

#The Stealth Way#

Step 1: Disembark the boat and gear at the boat, you will find some additional weapons and mags.

Step 2: Move quietly north along the beach until when you look east you will see a fortress and UAZ.

Step 3: If you feel it necessary quickly kill the two soldiers in the fortress and continue moving north until you reach a bunch of trees. To the east is the beach and a very close T-72.

Step 4: If you want plant a charge at the T-72 (Don't get detected by the patrol in front of the tank or the commander.

Step 5: Moving around the T-72 using the trees and bushes and you will soon see the beach. Avoid contact, Tell your men to hide behind some stuff so their not seen.

Step 6: You must be mindful here, there are many patrols and weapons on the beach any of them could see you.

Step 7:you can leave the Shilka thats closest to you at this point. Its not manned, the crew are standing near it, you can shoot them later.

Step 8: A shilka is near the camp north of the beach, It has many men around it but if you crawl and stay hidden you can get near the shilka to place the charges.

Step 9: The two T-72 at the eastern end of the beach are not manned but the one closest to the beach furthest away from you has its crew nearby.

Step 10: Get back to the fortress and UAZ and hide behind the sandbags, this spot will give you a good shooting spot, You may also try and check the CRRC for some launchers that you can use.

Step 11: Call the boats in and when they are fired at touch off your charges and shoot the crews standing around, if your fired apon hide behind the sandbags until your boys land at the beach.

Step 12: Help them by letting your men open fire and move toward the beach slowly picking of any enemy that are lying around.

#The Aggressive Way#

Step 1: Disembark the boat, you won't need any additional weapons the way this will be done.

Step 2: Move directly towards the bunker and UAZ and tell your men to hold fire and stick them behind some bushes you won't need them.

Step 3: Kill both soldiers quickly you don't need an SD weapon just use the M4 Acog you start with.

Step 4: If no alarms went off, hop into the UAZ (AGS-30) as the gunner.

Step 5: Aim right and kill the two soldiers near the T-72, don't try to kill the armor it won't work.

Step 6: Aim towards the beach and kill any men on patrol don't aim at weapons you will waste a lot of ammo. You can take off the Static MGs and Grenade launchers later with the Acog.

Step 7: When the beach is clear, Aim east till you see a T-72 in the distance, You should be able to see the crew leader of this tank standing. Puts some shells on and around him to kill all the crew.

Step 8: When the beach is clear of patrolling men switch to driver and move the UAZ forward just a bit so you can see the camp to the north, avoid detection.

Step 9: Switch back to gunner and open fire on the patrol near the shilka to the north and open fire on the camp to kill any lingering troops.

Step 10: Hop out and go prone, Now use the acog to pick of any static weapon gunners and left over troops.

Step 11: When clear, run along the waterline until your near the D-30 cannon, mount in as gunner and open fire on the T-72 to the west.

Step 12: 3 shots should destroy it, wait until the shilka rolls out to the beach and then destroy that. With the shilka gone the birds will come in, you can mope up the few soldiers left and the mission is over without having to even use the boats.

Mission 2: The President:

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

You start in a base relaxing, The first few parts of this mission are self-explanatory so I'll cut straight to the point.

Step 1: After the cutscene, head towards the destroyed ural and hide there until your group gets there.

Step 2: With your men there, open fire on the attacking SLA with your acog and grenade launcher.

Step 3: When the enemy are dead, look for a ammo box and pick up some mags and a launcher (any AT kind).

Step 4: Head back towards the base where you stated and then kill and enemies that are attacking there.

Step 5: From here head north and you will find a small SLA camp on a hill, here you can snipe any enemies that are in the open. You can also destroy the shilkas from up here.

Step 6: When clear, head into town, There are snipers on the roofs and spetz natz in the streets so be careful.

Step 7: The SLA president or lack there of is located at rear of the town in a back garden with some dead civilians, kill any guards and interrogate him. Mission complete!

Mission 3: The Strange Island:

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

This mission takes place on Porto, A small island off Sahrani. Your here to find the president, you have no friendly support so keep your men safe, as you will need them.

Step 1: You start in the MH-6. When your offloaded, hit the deck straight away as there is a sniper in a water tower to the east, Find him and kill him. Try to avoid being ht, you will need your accuracy later in the mission.

Step 2: You get a radio message from command saying the Spetz natz are killing civilians you must stop this, but its not a mission priority.

Step 3: Tell your men to hold where they are and open fire at will.

Step 4: head into the town, staying as low as possible. Spetz natz marksman are placed randomly so its hard to know where they are. One is on a balcony on the road I talk about below, Kill him the minute you see him, He's a good shot.

Step 5: Look towards the town and find a road south of the fenced area, you will see a burning car in the center of it, take this road, many of the enemy are on this road or come onto it.

Step 6: When you reach the burning pick-up, looking right down the road, if you got there fast you will see a large group of spetz natz, kill them with the grenade launcher.

Step 7: You must find the President, Find a car that isn't locking and head east of town towards the northern port area. Kill any spetz natz you see on the ways as your gonna need to come back.

Step 8: Two snipers are on the roofs in this port area, disembark your vehicle using it as cover and kill them, another couple of enemies are on the ground lying down, look for them and kill them.

Step 9: head around the corner of this little place the kill the guards of the President, And then arrest him. Mission Comlete if you have already eliminated all the enemies in the town, if not lets continue.

Extra Step 1: When the President is arrested you must now return to the town and kill the rest of the enemies,

Extra Step 2: Be really careful, Enemies are on roofs and running around, first head back to the farm area where you left your men, many enemies head out here so your men should have been picking some them off while you where arresting the Pres.

Extra Step 3: Get your men together and patrol around the town finding and killing anyone with a gun, Even some civilians who are out to kill you.

Extra Step 4: Theres are huge tower in the town, you can climb to to the top of this or one of your men can to spot and kill any enemies your have trouble find on patrol. Once all the enemy are the dead and the President is arrested the mission is over.

Congratulations are in order as you have now cleared the Rahmadi Conflict campaign.

Hope this helps, If anything is incorrect with it please tell me and I will correct it accordingly.

In Royal Flush, the Camp Mission: I clear the camp of gurads, call in the specialists and then am told that 2 people have escaped with chemical weopons in a pick up. Game continues and am tasked with chasing them. I do so on foot and in vehicle but cannot find them antwhere. Told mission failure as they have escaped the island. Where do they go?

Thanks for any possible help, JohnGib

Just thought I would mention that in the mission on Porto the sniper is not always in the water tower there are a few other places he can be.

Jump in the nearby car as soon as the talking is over, then turn right and follow the dirt road. You should be able to see the cloud of dust the UAZ is making, so just look out for that. They drive very fast so make sure to stay on the dirt road and use shift+w to drive as fast as possible. If you got close enough they will stop and surrender.

Hint: Incar use 3rdperson view and press Alt twice to get a free mouselook, so it is easier to spot them while keeping the car on the road.

Thanks Big-Rooney. I'll have your advise in mind next time I try to beat that damn hard The Strange Island

The Coast is Easy, I just stole a Shika and blew everything up. The Second mission was bugged because my AI Soldiers wouldn't move.

First time I played this mission they got like a 5 minute head start so I had no idea where they were. Eventaully just followed the tracks and roads down to the sea and there they were - the route kinda 'flows' and I don't think there were any turn offs. Anyways, when I got to the bottom on this attempt they had disenbarked and shot the crap out of us as we approched there empty jeep! Lol! :p
