OVERVIEW:
Random Displacements Campaign (RDC) is a system for quickly and easily building your own SP/coop dynamic campaign for Arma 3. It simulates company-level combined arms warfare with a dynamic frontline that advances or retreats depending on the outcome of each battle. Players fight a series of missions starting on one side of the map and gradually working their way to the other. At the end of the campaign they will be presented with a briefing based on their performance.

Create campaigns ranging from from light infantry platoons slogging across Altis to M60 companies taking on T-72s in Africa. RDC is hugely customizable and shows Arma 3 at its very best.

A simple menu with campaign/mission management options and some information is available by pressing the End key (rebind under OPTIONS > CONTROLS > CONFIGURE ADDONS > Drongo's RDC). Also, if DCE is present, some options will be added the the DCE dialog F1-8 buttons.

DCE is the recommended control system. However, you can use any system, including BIS High Command:

Alternatively, the friendly side can consist entirely of players.

COMPLETING MISSIONS:
When a mission starts, 1-5 objectives will be generated along with enemy forces to defend them. To capture an objective, kill all enemy forces within 180 meters of it and move friendly forces within 100 meters. When all objectives are captured and the enemy has suffered 80% casualties, the mission will end in victory. If the player side loses too many battles, they will be forced to fight defensive battles. To win these battles, hold the single objective and inflict 80% casualties on the enemy.

SAVING:
Campaign progress will be saved at the end of a mission (whether won or lost). It will be loaded at the start of the next mission.

HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO RDC:
If you have defined custom units for a mod and wish to see it included in future releases of RDC, start your mission in the editor and wait for the enemy to spawn in. Then hit Escape and in the "Execute" field of the Extended Debug Window, type

call rd_fnc_export;

and press enter. Then alt-tab out of Arma, open notepad and press ctrl-v. This will paste all the defined unit types into a text file. Save the file and send it to me.

KNOWN BUGS:
Sometimes vehicles explode on spawn (I have done everything I can to offset this, but it still happens)
Occasionally enemy groups spawn far away from the battle
JIP players don't get the special DCE keys
RDC has been heavily tested in local coop, but not at all on a dedicated server

Note that any player can access the campaign management menu.
