    I would have thought this would have been a prime candidate for a Multi Turret Script? Will you be making the Mark IV Male (6 pdr with short barrels) along with the Female? Thought I would add a picture of the Female preserved in my home town (Ashford, Kent). I have a massive interest in this tank and frankly this whole mod centers around it for me as I served in the Royal Tank Regiment for many years and this tank is really where the RTR regimental history began.

    Nice to see this Mod! Sadly no British kit being made (even to complement Falklands Mod). Looking forward to some Cold War fun.

    As someone who served with the RTR for ten years, I am looking forward to this Mod and rolling through the mud and the blood to the green fields beyond in a Mark IV.

    WH40K BETA TEST

    Wow. Just stumbled over your Mod after being away from OFP and the Net for many months. This takes me back to my Warhammer painting days - even though I painted Wood Elves, Orcs and Goblins! I always liked the way the 40k stuff looked and now I can play with some in OFP! Fantastic work on the units guys and I hope you keep updating them and getting new works out of the door!

    Bah, disappointing is being on a team for many years and knowing what was being worked on and seeing development dropped for a game (ArmA) that your PC would not play and having no money or way to upgrade to play ArmA and follow the teams future.

    Falklands Mod 1.0 Released

    http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Falklands/index.html British Army Section: Falklands War era [1982] Adapted from Wikipedia. A Section consists of eight to ten soldiers made up of a Corporal as Section Commander, a Lance-Corporal as his Second-In-Command (2IC) and six to eight privates. Three to Four Sections together form a Platoon. The typical Section was armed with and organized around the 7.62 mm L7 GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun). The Section was typically divided into two groups. A Rifle Group and a Gun Group. The Section Commander and five to six privates with rifles and/or submachine guns and perhaps a grenade launcher (such as the M79 or M203) would form the Rifle Group. The Gun Group was commanded by the Section 2IC (Lance Corporal), the GPMG Gunner and sometimes another senior private. Section tactics were basically designed around bringing the GPMG to bear on the enemy and to support the GPMG. The GPMG would be deployed on the highest ground, with the best field of fire. The rest of the Section carried ammunition for the GPMG. It was claimed that, in Sections organised in this way, the gun provided 80 per cent of the Section's firepower. On patrol a Section Commander would put forward a scout, perhaps two, depending on terrain and circumstances. Each soldier within the Section had a function such as scout, pacer and check-pacer (measuring distance travelled), navigator and check navigator, etc.
