    Hey guys, From here on out, Twice a month, we're going to have a game night, where we all get together and play a game that is not ArmA This'll give us a chance to unwind & interact with each other outside of Arma in hopes that we can grow together as a community by having some good old fashion fun. We will start by playing free to play games, so all can be included, then as this becomes an established practice we will post straw polls at the end of each operation to see what games we'll be playing as a group for that month. This week we will be playing the free to play game War Thunder. Download Link: https://warthunder.com/ We will start the night off by playing a single combined Air & Ground match with no tier restrictions, just to have some fun/screw around & get everyone into a single game. After that we shall set some tier restrictions and perhaps do some competitive Air/Ground Matches. Hope to see you there!
