marto

Also I'm looking fwd to the communist style bicycle......... with a bell......

What's going on guys!? Anyone still around? Anguis, Zulu1, Overlord? Anyone still get on any Arma servers? Have you seen this: I'm looking forward to it - would be great to get online again if anyone's still around?

I agree keeping KLMK for the russians is the best option to keep it in the spirit of OFP. Besides it wasn't only worn by SF: scouts, engineers regular soldiers, etc wore it too if available... (especially for propaganda photos)... It would be great as a side project to have some models with eg TTsKO ( http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/ussr/ttsko ), khaki, KZS or even Spetsodezhda Border troops if recources permit ( http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/ussr )

Regarding the Soviet helmets here is a good resource for the ssh60 (as used in the original OFP): http://brendonshelmets.weebly.com/soviet-ssh60.html and http://brendonshelmets.weebly.com/soviet-ssh60-cont.html This would be better to include (either plain green or with KLMK cover) rather than the ssh68 "Cone Head": http://brendonshelmets.weebly.com/russia-ssh68.html

Hi guys, this is great, congratulations on getting this project going, I'm very interested. If you like/need I can provide some advice on cold war uniforms... 1. The Soviet Sun Ray KLMK pattern for most of the 1980s should be a one piece coverall: http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/ussr/sun-ray-pattern-klmk The 2 piece KM-L came only in the late 1980s (1989-90s) - see same link. Both came with the face mask, and were reversible to a "night" pattern similar but smaller scale to US Night camo. Regarding the squad leader: KLMK caps never existed (unless an occasional custom made one...) but the standard khaki cap would match perfectly for this situation: http://camouniforms.net/index.php/eastern-europe/ussr/khaki/afghanka/1227-2015-09-28-18-07-06 The black beret on officers isn't really correct (unless they are MVD or Naval Infantry), perhaps could be changed to the Airborne blue beret that was worn in the 1980s? https://www.google.com.au/search?q=soviet+berets&safe=off&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjjydqHm4rSAhWDEpQKHXr4CcsQ_AUICCgB&biw=1920&bih=943#safe=off&tbm=isch&q=soviet+airborne+beret Regarding the US Woodland - I have to agree with other posters - the pattern look a bit too bright and too small shapes. Also it should not be Ripstop material, rather NYCO as ripstop was really only for tropical areas: NYCO version: http://camouniforms.net/index.php/north-america/usa/m81-woodland/nylon-cotton Ripstop: http://camouniforms.net/index.php/north-america/usa/m81-woodland Happy to help with advice on uniforms/camo if you guys need. Looking forward to the finished product!

Hey guys - does this photo remind you of playing those multiplayer OFP missions, regrouping in disarray in a forest after hitting a target, with enemy in hot pursuit, conducting flanking maneuvers on our position:

Hey Guys, We should get together for a session one day!

Hey Zulu, might bearound again in 2 weeks. Anguis around and Viking around? Maybe we should set a date when everyone willbe around?

Hey guys, long time no see... I'm up for a mission tomorrow between 0900 and 1100 Aust WST (Australian Western Standard Time - real time not backward European or US time), post below if you're around and keen.... I'm off to the pub for a few:

Anguis, I think i am away with work weekend 24 March... will check. But I might drop in today see if anyone is online. OL - I heard that if you OC your new card that you can keep it cool by pouring a few drops of wodka on it.... kind of like lubrication...

We should probably make an official announcement and a time for the next coop, at least a week ahead. Seems there is a bit of interest and we could get a team together for a coop.

You shouldn't be working on a Sunday...

Hey Variable, Good to hear from you. If anyone is up for a TacOps Coop tomorrow let me know the time.

Couple of us are on the server now if anyone want to join...

I'll be on in a couple of hours, just going down to the pool for a swim and then dinner. Sat morning and Sunday morning (my time) both good...
