ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead is a Go Go Go!

Hello TAW Visitors and Members -  

I am very excited and honored to announce that ArmA 2 's standalone expansion Operation Arrowhead has come to TAW's Vanguard Division. ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead is the next team to have their chance at success in VG. Even though this title is labeled as an expansion, it does not require the original ArmA 2 game to run.


I have spent years looking for a game that would hold my attention and keep it; the ArmA 2 title has done that! Every time I play the series, I learn something new that changes my thought process to attack an enemy controlled town, camp or convoy. The original ArmA 2 takes us to a region on Russia on the coast. Plush green pine forest with hard wood trees in fall foliage. Tall hay fields were the rabbits and deer can hide. Villages dot the land scape with dirt roads and major highways leading down the coast with major city ports . To add to that, time scaling cycles from day to night to day again. Rain, clouds, sun and so on. Operation Arrowhead takes us from fighting against the Russian army to fighting in a region of Afghanistan against Taliban and insurgent forces. The land scape as gone to deselect, large mountains, with vast valleys. Short brush and a very few trees, the lower larger valleys have more trees, but far fewer then before. There town and villages have changed to slum huts and stone and mud buildings built into the valleys.


This game has the support of two TAW Corp Commanders; Tbone & NoCents and our Commander in Chief Hook. We hope that you will seriously take a look at this title. If you have ever wanted to feel like you were apart of real special forces team, this title is for you. If you have any questions, please feel take with any of Vanguard Staff including the VG TC Laggyfish and VG TDC Gammers.


If your interested in helping this team grow into TAW's next division, please follow your chain of command and request a transfer to VG ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead team.

While playing within the CD Division, I applied to help support and manage the Vanguard Division where I am now the Task Force Commander (TC). Before TAW I trained for 4 years as an elite sniper for The Snipers Coalition. I was also apart of the 22nd Recon and served as their match sniper.
