Frequently Asked Questions

There is no formal “joining” or “application” process.

Anyone is free to jump in and take part in any impromptu weekday sessions. For Saturday games we like you to fill out a brief Google Docs questionnaire first. Besides getting a basic headcount of those who've played with us, it's a good way to determine the level of familiarity of players with the basics of ArmA, ACE, ACRE, and whether or not they need to be put in a team with some more experienced players for their first Saturday.

Check out the setup guide for instructions on installing and setting up the modset.

Apex is not explicitly required but is strongly recommended.

In October the moratorium we placed on using Apex content was lifted, which gives mission makers the option of using Tanoa or its assets. Some maps may also update themselves to use Apex assets, as is the case for Australia starting with version 5.07.

Saturday mission signup posts lists the required modset modules as well as whether or not Apex is required for that specific mission.

Saturday missions are our primary event that takes place on Saturdays at 2100 GMT. This may not be convenient for everyone, but it is the best compromise that works for players across the US, EU, and Oceania regions. Each Saturday mission will include a countdown timer that adjusts that time to your local timezone.

Several days prior to each mission, a post will be made to the subreddit listing information about it and slots for signups. The majority of listed slots will be first come, first serve. The exceptions to this are specialty slots like pilots or player antagonists which may be selected by lottery.

What are, Latrine Duty and Reserves?

Signups are broken up into three categories:

  • If you know you can make it, you should sign up for a slot. Signups are important because they help us judge expected players and whether scaling or additional slots are needed.
  • Reserves are for people who may be able to attend but don't want to take a slot because there's still the possibility they may miss it.
  • Latrine duty is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that you won't be able to make it but still want to make your presence known.
