Ha ha, well, that's awfully kind of you. A game like ArmA 2 really does benefit from having a community like this. I didn't play a lot of ArmA and it's been a loooong time since Operation Flashpoint, so a lot of things that are going to be familiar to you guys are completely new to me. Forums are a real boon for a game this ambitious and complex. Especially since I don't have a manual! :) -Tom

I just lost all support options while playing, and this is using v1.02. What's worse, restarting the mission didn't fix anything. With a brand new restart, my support options are still greyed out. -Tom

So I'm trying to figure out how to play ArmA II without the benefit of a manual. The boot camp tutorials help. However, there's a lot of info missing on how to best use the squad commands and the communications menu. For instance, I'd like to be able to give my driver a series of waypoints, since he needs all the help he can get when it comes to staying on the road. Can someone walk me through how to do this? I can easily enough give him a "Move there" destination way across the map, but we'll usually end up with a flipped vehicle tangled up in a mess of trees or buildings somewhere. (Also, bonus question: How do I repair vehicles? I've got a wheeled APC with a couple of blown tires. Calling for a repair truck from the support menu returns some sort of "response not found" debug text.) -Tom

Placebo, even those of us with review copies provided by BI didn't get a manual. So in the case where BI is the digital download providers, can I complain to them here? :) That said, I can understand why they don't provide the manual online, although it's a bit silly to figure that pirated versions of the game won't also include PDFs of the manual. -Tom

Hey all, I've "suspended" my progress in the campaign and I'd like to resume from that point on another computer. Does anyone know where ArmA 2 stores the file and what the file would be called? Also, I'll be transferring the save from a WinXP computer to a Vista computer. Anyone know if that's going to raise any thorny issues with moving the file? -Tom
