Operation Harvest Green is a Fustercluck - ArmA 3

"Welcome to Operation Harvest Red. Just a few miles to the north lies the small country of Chernarus. Home to around 3,000,000 native Chernarussians and some 800,000 ethnic Russian settlers. They are not the best of friends... Tomorrow morning you will step from your landing craft and do what Marines were born to do! They, on the other hand, will wish they'd picked a country without a shoreline..."
What unit/clan is this?
This is my unit, the Cadian XXth. Name explained in the video. Casual milsim, roleplay and all those weird ops that you never get to play in your normal milsim group. It can be found in the discord: / discord
We've got a poster of us now too, done by an amazing artist: store.yogscast.com/Cadian-Poster
What is this mod?
The kit was mostly from CUP and ALiVE. The enemies were using LAMBS and ALiVE AI Mods.
Are you SovietWomble?
I wish. Video definitely has inspiration from the likes of Soviet and Max0r, but I try to strike a nice line for telling a story, humorous edits and actual gameplay. I try to put out a video every three days, hence why not every single video will be a Fustercluck or not as long or detailed as I'd like. Time constraints are a problem.
