Description
HWS is a very easy to use generator of dynamic, interesting battles conducted by HETMAN commanding AI. Each unique battle experience is powered by very complex scripting and is created with a few mouse clicks.

Optionally the player may customize the gameplay by choosing the fighting factions, scale of the battle, daytime, weather, forces ratio, persistency of the result (campaign mode, where results of past battles slightly affect every next battle) etc. Additional text field allows advanced users and Hetman veterans to apply also more complex setup code or even regular script, that will be executed at init.

The resulting battle may vary greatly each time, nothing is guaranteed. You're only a cog in the war machine controlled by HETMAN, so do not expect any special treatment. The battle does not revolve around the player in any way. You may find yourself in the middle of fierce firefight or you may be kept as reserve and have to wait a long time before you see any action. You may die in the first few minutes or survive to the end without firing a single shot. Just do your part or act on your own. Whatever you do, try to keep your leader happy.

HWS will also utilize units from custom addons when mods are loaded, if the addons have properly configured groups.

This mission also works with the version of Thirsk from Armaholic http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9861

Not all terrains are part of CUP. In fact some terrains do not require CUP at all. Many are on Steam, but some still require to be downloaded and installed manually.

I think the Steam version of Thirsk Island is shown as incompatible because it hasn't been signed and therefore may not work on a server. but for singleplayer use including this scenario it works fine.

Dear Alky Lee;
Sorry for bothering you. I just realized that this mod required the map from armaholic.(I thought that the map would be a part of default CUP maps.)
I have never owned mod outside Steam workshop. Maybe the absence of the map would be the cause of my termination.

Furthermore, The map you pointed out in the workshop says that It is not compatible with ARMA 3 anymore. I couldn't understand the exact reason for incompatibility (So I will not subscribe the version on workshop.), but I think that you should restore this brilliant mod such as the previous state before I report a bug. I regrets that spoiled your nice and perfect mod by my careless. I'm very sorry for making unnecessary burden.

Thank you again for listening me.

For simplicity I have changed the required items to use the Steam version of the map, although the Armaholic version still works.

BNsonear-I have just checked and it is working fine for me. There is also a version of Thirsk Island on the workshop and the mission works with that version too.

Dear Alky Lee;
Thank you for your nice maps with HWS. Your mod makes ARMA3 single alive!

I have a lot of your HWS maps, but this one (Thirsk Winter) makes severe trouble.

When I load the map in single player - scenarios menu, ARMA 3 is terminated.

Other maps from you are just fine, only this one. I was wondering if you could inspect the problem in your fee time.

Thank you for reading.
