Good evening dear Patrons. As requested from the latest poll, I've already made a start with the next bullshittery - Random Arma 3 Antistasi Bullshittery - part 3/5. Continuing on from a couple of days last week. And also the previous cutting and nesting work right from the very start of the Antistasi project.
Following on from the previous sneaky sabotage actions from the swamp, part 3 sees the resistance move around the mountains to the west of Altis. A place characterised by dense populations centres, hemmed in by rocky cliffs. We were still on foot and trying to counter our new enemy, the US Army. Selected because the players involved were getting a bit sick of fighting the Russians all the time.
We quickly discover that the US spare no expense when it comes to countering insurgency actions. With heavy use of auto-cannons on nearly every vehicle and omnipresent predator drones. Meaning missions ended in failure more often than success. I've already edited a sequence showing our surprise at the level of hardware rolled out to counter us. With even a minor insurgency action bringing down the wrath of multiple little-birds and drones. I reckon the US will make a popular opponent in future Antistasi sessions.

Structurally the episode is a bit weird and edited out of order. I've jumped right into text editing for the first few 2 minutes, because there's a gag in the intro I just need to check with someone to make sure they're cool with it. Best to do this early to give them time to think. Meaning much of the structure for the rest of the episode still needs to be decided, whilst I quickly do that.
I also think I need to spend some time just going through parts 4 and 5 to make sure the scenes for those still make sense now that parts 1 and 2 have been released. Just broad structural work before I proceed too far with the text and animations for this episode. Though I'll be first to admit that part 5 is very high level with not a lot of cutting done yet, beyond the ending which I've known about for a while now and should be pretty funny.

So I've currently got to about 2 minutes finished out of 10. Much work still to do. I shall let you know if any problems crop up. But so far so good :)
