I recommend to use latest beta. Current 70951 beta patch fixes possible late game FPS drop.

Note:
-Many objectives arent mandatory. You can fail the mission only if you die
-Unlimited Savegame via 0-0-1
-Use high command via Ctrl+Space (Available late game)
-Use artillery via 0-8-1 (Available late game)
-Call reinforcements via 0-0-3 (Available after first proper objective)

Known Issues:
-Mission is made for vanilla game. MODs may affect on gaming experience much
-Mission doesn't work good with SLX mod (Joined squadmembers dont move)

A small youtube video of the mission:

Manzilla:
It's good to see a new mission from you. 

First slight problem I've encountered:

Team members 2 and 3 will not move once they join my group. They just stand in place regardless of what order I give them. 4 follows just fine.

SaOk:
Dosent sound promising. There shouldnt be anything to stop them. They join player with simply command in simply trigger. That part havent bugged for me yet. ???

I have only seen soldiers to stuck when they use pistol but did that happen? Anyway I will move them little more away from the HQ tent.

Edit: They dont even have pistols.

bardosy:
SaOk, please turn the debug ON in your Arma2 with: -showScriptErrors

Many-many errors while playing. When I start, errors popup because of init script. Latet, when I arrived to outpost and speak with the officer, start an unlimited error-river and I cannot continue the play, because I see nothing on the screen because of error messages. These (the many-many) errors probably FSM errors, because I cannot read it (it flashing very fast), but I saw an FSM letter.

SaOk:
Thanks for testing and reporting, I will enable that. I remove the download link too until I have played it throught with out errors.

Edit: Init.sqf gave error because there was unknown variable in folumetric fog commands. Fixed now with "nul". And at HQ tent I deleted ambient civilians which the module didnt like. There were also some errors in FSM script like variables that didnt exist yet and missign ";".
