co10 Escape
The mission
In this mission you and your squad was send out to scout the military presence on an enemy island in preparation for an invasion. But your squad got captured by local layalists and you are now held in an improvised prison awaiting enemy officers to arrive for questioning. But friendly insurgent managed to hide a backpack with weapons in your improvised prison. Your task is now to overwhelm the guards, escape the prison, find a map of the island, make contact with your HQ, reach the designated evacuation zone and escape the enemy island!
The mission is fully dynamic. Every playthrough will be different. Also the mission is quite hard to beat completly. You will definitly fail at the first try. But the mission is meant to be played more than once (infact our squad plays it serveral times the week).
About the mission
Escape was first devloped by Engima of Östgöta Ops. for ArmA2.
At that time me (NeoArmageddon) and Scruffy ported the mission to different islands and began customizing the mission.
When ArmA3 was released, Vormulac and HyperZ made the effort to port the mission over to ArmA3. From that point on Scruffy and me improved and fixed the mission to the current state.
Most of the scripts are replaced and were updated to A3 standards. At this point the mission can surely be considered a complete new A3 mission and not a port from A2.
The the official version of this release is 1.10
Terrains and Mods
We ported the mission to the following terrains: Altis Stratis Chernarus (CUP TP) Chernarus Summer (CUP TP) Sahrani (CUP TP) United Sahrani (CUP TP) SMD Sahrani Porto (CUPTP) Takistan (CUP TP) Bornholm Celle2 Podagorsk Isla Duala Esseker Isla Abramia Al Rayak Tanoa Winthera Lingor Dingor Malden (CUP TP CWR) Everon (CUP TP CWR) Kolgujev (CUP TP CWR) Nogova (CUP TP CWR) Malden 2035 Thirsk + Winter Australia Clafghan and more.... I lost track... For A2 terrains AiA TP works but I strongly suggest using the newer CUP TP! Also there are serveral flavours of the mission with different unit sets. At the moment there is a version without any mods called "Vanilla" (except the terrain you are on)
and the following mods:
RHS CUP APEX (DLC) Contact (DLC) Global Mobilization (CDLC) We tried to compose a unitset for every terrain that match the scenery.
We plan to add more mods and terrains in the future but we also want to release the tools to port the mission.
Release notes
To port this missions with more than 15 different mod setups to more than 65 terrains (overall we have produced 580 missions) we used an autocompiler that merges one codebase and the different config files.
With this huge amount of mission we were not able to check every mission. When one of the missions seems to behave different (broken start, missing units, etc) please post the missionname here in the thread
and we will fix the problem ASAP. This mission was build for dedicated server use! For statistics and improving this mission at the end of each session (fail or win) the result of the mission is stored anonymous on a server. Version, terrain, playercount, session length, servername and type of mission ending is sent. No personal informations like IP, player names, etc are sent or stored. This function can be disabled in the parameters.

You need to customize the UnitClasses.sqf. For this you need:
A text editor like Notepad
Basic understanding of SQF (Arrays, local and global variables)
The list of classnames from the addon you want to include.
