Anyone?

Hi all Just getting into OA after not playing Arm A 2 for a while I'm on mission 6, forgot the name where you push for the airport as high commander of the tanks, I remember in Arma 2 there was a way it would tell you what units you had in your group when in high command for example on mission 6 you have 4 groups, it seems 3 are tank teams and 1 is infantry, how can I find out what units are in those groups? ie in the infantry group how many soldiers, AA men, medics etc I'm sure on AA2 on the last mission (the big one) when you controlled many groups it told you what was in each group, cant' seem to find out how to do that on OA - without driving up to them and taking a look? lol Can't be right? Thanks in advance Cuzer

Can I just say without the bugs this would arguably be the game of the year, brilliant storyline and was chuffed to bits to get the "War that never was" ending, very enjoyable game and roll on Arrowhead! One question, does anybody have links to the other endings? I looked on you tube and could only find Revelation and Missing In Action - would just be nice to watch them Cheers Cuzer

For the record I had to re-do it - he wouldn't move whatever I tried Thankfully progressed OK now though and got the Dealing with the Russians task completed Cuzer

Hi, I've just sorted the Lopotev exchange in DOW, after numerous bugs and replays and it's now all OK in terms of whats meant to happen in the story line etc so all good Yet Unit 4 came to heal me where I was in the bunker area and now low and behold he's trapped in the bunker and can't move out! I've tried all sorts of commands, return to formation, board truck etc he nods but can't walk out of the exit of the bunker for gods sake so won't join up with the other units. Is there anyway round this? Any move unit command? If I disband him will he go anywhere? Can I get him back, I've tried all sorts but he's trapped behind these bunkers and Walls and won't move. AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGH! Help! Cuzer

Zdavid whats the map trick cam? I've yet to play since but want this Dealing with the Russians sorted before I carry on with the game Cheers Cuzer ---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was Yesterday at 11:48 PM ---------- OH MY GOD - HELP! Reverted and redone the handing Lopotev over task as it clearly never triggered the sequence in my game, at first I got Lopotev died in the attack which I've never had before so I tried again and hey presto, all good, russians dead and the correct message came up that we had recognised the blonde guy etc and dealing with the russians came up as completed - hoorah! Unit 4 came to heal me in the sandbag area to the left of where the exchange took place and guess what he's now bloody trapped there! I'm heading back to base, all is good yet 4 can't move out of the wall and bunker combo because he's trapped! Is there anyway round this? Can I disband him and get him back? Is there a command to move the unit? Being as you can't control him in this mission I can't walk him out myself, he moves a few metres when I give him commands but he won't walk through the gap to exit the bunker area - I could bloody scream - any suggestions? Cuzer

I don't think there is one, I've never found it but if you drive through town you'll hear the news bulletin being played over the speakers in the streets Cuzer

Ah, thems the breaks of the storyline I guess! lol I guess you've got to go the long way round then mate, it can be done Cuzer

I decided not to take the chopper, let NAPA get you most the way and then sneak/keep a low profile until you meet up with the other guys, it's not difficult if you ask your team to hold fire and keep your head down Cuzer

I think my artilery support pretty much wiped out the whole base! Including the tank Get in a chopper and fly over where the base is, should recognise the units and location, and then send in the Artilery on the centre of the base, there is very little left when the artilery has done it's bit Cuzer

Ah thanks Zdavid I'll just go about my business then and hope the game realises! It just came up straight away before they toasted "4" so was expecting it to happen again immediately Will have a pop at the Chedaki base now then me thinks, will keep you posted if anything develops Cuzer

Hmmm Luke I'm worried now as I never got the chat about The Russians blonde guy or the mission "Dealing with the russians" being complete yet all spetnatz are dead and the truck has gone off to the Russian base, will I be able to finish the mission if this doesn't happen do you know? Cuzer

Hmmm more interesting progress, the first time I delivered Lopoteve the Spet Naz open fire and I killed all of them bar one when I got the radio com saying we had cleared the area (when we hadn't) and the Dealing with the Russians complete came up on the screen, the Spet Naz then took out 4 and I had to revert, when I reverted I never got the Deal with the Russians completed or the radio chat about clearing the area, although this time I have I'm running around all the Spet Naz dead bodies. 3 has still gone AWOL, he just ran off when I left the chopper although he is standing still now but won't come back to me What triggers the "dealing with the russians" completion, does anybody know? The truck with Lopotev in just sat there whilst the fire fight was going on but he's now ventured off to the Russians, should this trigger the Dealing with the Russians complete? I presume now I go back to base and try to take the other towns and then Chedaki main base? One other question if I fly a chopper over an enemy town will they automatically open fire on targets, I'm awful at flying and don't want to really fly the chopper but need air support on some towns Cheers Cuzer

So - all in all - it does and can work but there are loads of bugs to catch you out and this is in 1.04 Cuzer

UPDATE! Well gents - some progress! I took Chernogorsk, my tanks picked off the re-spawning APC's I had called in NAPA for some numbers and then sent them away, I got the Chernogorsk captured message and sure enough Shaftoe radioed me - PROGRESS! I went to see the boys on the beach and lo and behold it crashed! lol At least I've got a save (I hope) with Shaftoe radio'd in so I can carry on, it can be done just send all NAPA units away from the town Cuzer
