What is the organ song that plays at the end?

@Mandaloin Thanks mate, these missions are old, like 2014 old. With all the updates with A3 since they were released I'm surprised they even work at all.

Glad you enjoyed them all the same.
Mandaloin 30 Jul, 2016 @ 10:17pm 
You make some seriously good stuff. The only negative I can find is that in all 3 missions of yours that I've played so far the team lead will often just stand there and do nothing, often minutes at a time, for no reason. Other than that, these are easily the best A3 missions I've played so far.

Any plans for a new mission? These were great.
killjoy  [author] 2 May, 2015 @ 1:29am 
Also given the updates since this mission was first released, i can't guarantee the AI will behave as i originally intended.
killjoy  [author] 2 May, 2015 @ 1:27am 
Updated and should work now if anybody is interested. All in Arma Terrain Pack is now used instead of A3MP

Same as Jack_Bravo here.

I've been trying to play this, I have all the mods installed (yes I know how to do this correctly) and it just won't let me play.

Hi

Really enjoyed the first two missions- but having issues loading the third (this one). I get the following error message:

"you cannot play/edit this mission it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.aia_bohemia_config"

Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

Finally got around to playing all three missions and it was worth the wait. These are brilliant. I really appreciate the effort you took to make it as immersive as possible!
stww2 26 Oct, 2014 @ 1:18pm 
Really while done. Are you planning on continuing this, killjoy?
magbsoy 14 Oct, 2014 @ 3:49pm

'll Update the mission with a new version of the addon http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24907 East vs. West?:AAF:

Great job on the missions, looking forward to playing more of them. The storyline is great, I agree with spaceBeluga though the missions could do with being a little longer.
spaceBeluga 24 Aug, 2014 @ 6:55pm 
Very life-like and immersive. I just wish the missions weren't so short. Very nice work @killjoy
H.o.p 21 Aug, 2014 @ 11:57am 
Atmospheric, enjoyable... nostalgic! I didn't kill much but still felt like I'm part of the action. The whole background adds a lot to your scenarios. Good job. I'm looking forward to more!
Solifluktion 18 Aug, 2014 @ 4:46am 
@killjoy
Are you planning on making missions from the soviet point of view? I really want to use the Aks.
MtTB 17 Aug, 2014 @ 4:16pm 
Anither great mission, killjoy! I'm not sure what makes it more exciting, to not expect contact and get some, or to expect contact and not! Always thrilling....

BTW In case you didn't know, Sudden put out an update to the East-vs-West mod, so the M-16s completely work now.

Looking forward to the next one!

@killjoy well done mate. I like your mission style, it´s well done. But please add some more "soldiers to soldiers" talk to your future missions. And please hire some more voice actors. Your voice acting is good, but with only your voice the player gets irritated. But it´s hard to blame someone for that when it´s a free mod like yours. Therefore just write me, I could help you with your future missions. I could make you some nice voice recordings with my aged voice. I´m also very good with Photoshop, so if you need some nice Wallpapers for your missions just ask me. If you´re interested just add me on Steam.

And thanks for making these great missions. =)
Leviticus 11 Aug, 2014 @ 10:31am 
@killjoy Will do!
killjoy  [author] 11 Aug, 2014 @ 2:11am 
@pickel2007 thanks mate, theres another two missions in the series if you want to try them out. Just look at the collection "Czechoslovakian Spring"
Leviticus 11 Aug, 2014 @ 12:58am 
Absolutely loved this mission!
killjoy  [author] 10 Aug, 2014 @ 5:36pm 
If you want a real nostalgia kick dust off operation flashpoint and install the FFUR 2008 mod, less eye cancer and the explosions still look better than arma 3 vanilla lol
Solifluktion 10 Aug, 2014 @ 2:40am 
I just installed Cold War Rearmed 2 last week just to experience the whole thing again without getting eyecancer. Good times.
killjoy  [author] 9 Aug, 2014 @ 5:51pm 
Yeah andthe mission where you have to lay mines for the T-80 column, or when you go back to the everon castle with gastovski. Almost keen to stick Arma 3 back in the virtual box and wait for Red Hammer Studios to release their mod. The OFP community has retired and the dayz/cod generation has taken their place, to loosely quote a legendary addon maker.
Solifluktion 9 Aug, 2014 @ 5:13am 
Short missions fit in well with the Operation Flashpoint vibe. Remember the Nightwatchmission ? About 7 minutes and you're done.
killjoy  [author] 9 Aug, 2014 @ 5:01am 
@JoseRodrigues. Thanks mate, I think people are just too used to the bis vanilla missons, sure they might last a good 30 minutes or more, but they have multiple people working on them, they get paid to do it and it's their job. Where as this obviously isn't my job, its just me working on it in my spare time which I don't have much of to be honest. It took me around two weeks and a lot of hours in between work and social life just to make this mission so dont expect a marathon play time :)
JoseRodriguez 9 Aug, 2014 @ 4:45am 
It's feels very good while you play this mission. But it's too short.
killjoy  [author] 8 Aug, 2014 @ 8:10pm 
Just a side note, if you do give a negative rating then please explain why. Simply giving a negative rate without saying why doesn't help me to improve on future missions.
Blinkey 8 Aug, 2014 @ 7:43pm 
A great mix of story-telling and gameplay with attention to detail in this series. Great stuff so far
killjoy  [author] 8 Aug, 2014 @ 6:27pm 
I'm thinking the next mission being something to do with aircraft, probably the F-15 or perals A-10 mod but im thinking the islands are too small.
killjoy  [author] 8 Aug, 2014 @ 6:25pm 
Yeah I've got the same lighting bug, just a problem with the evw mod still pretty much being in its alpha stage.
Solifluktion 8 Aug, 2014 @ 4:54pm 
No bugs for me. Except for the fact that the inside of the M113 received the same lighting as the outside (I assume it's a bug with EvW or Arma3 in general). Nothing gamebreaking though.
killjoy  [author] 8 Aug, 2014 @ 4:43pm 
Cheers for the feedback guys, any bugs or mission breakers let me know. Im havjng a hard time with the 4th mission due to lack of avaliable mods out there and the general retardedness of A3 AI, especially vehicle AI.
killjoy  [author] 8 Aug, 2014 @ 4:40pm 
@Triada. If you're referring to current world events or relations then this mission series has nothing to do with it. Thought hadn't crossed my mind until you piped up. Like Solifluktion said it's just a what if cold war type scenario from back in the late 80's. Like wargame, or world in conflict or even the original Operation Flashpoint (Arma Cold War Assault). Nothing to do with simply hating on Russians. So no need for the death threats mate.
Solifluktion 8 Aug, 2014 @ 1:02pm 
@Triada
This is set during the Cold War when the USSR was doing evil shit like in Afghanistan or whenever some country tried to get more independence. Also if you don't like this you must have a very hard time with modern entertainment, seeing as in basically any videogame or movie the Russians tend to be the bad guys (unless it's the Middle Easterners of course).
[AS]Juba 8 Aug, 2014 @ 7:13am 
true tactics and really nice mission, really nice old schooll style, i like that. hope to play some chernorussia civil war missions if you interested.
Solifluktion 7 Aug, 2014 @ 6:53pm 
Another great mission. Gotta love the SAW.
killjoy  [author] 7 Aug, 2014 @ 4:08pm 
Triada Translation: Mission Author a real asshole, I would love to shoot at his thick head.

Care to explain why you dirty Commie?
dayanmarine541972 6 Aug, 2014 @ 7:35am 
nice mission!, i love m16´s and Ak-47´s
Cameron McDonald 5 Aug, 2014 @ 3:42am 
Nicely done, as usual.

Good to see the Soviets finally employing their grid square removers!

Hope to see more in the future.
