I hope you've enjoyed your read through our tactical guide. The writing and revision of this guide was a monstrous and particularly enjoyable effort, and we look forward to seeing how it is applied by various gaming communities and as we collectively make our way into the full Arma experience. If you know someone who's interested in this style of gaming but doesn't quite know how to learn the finer points of acting as a virtual warrior, feel free to point them this way!
