The player is expected to be a sergeant of the Polish Army. He’ll take part in various missions including patrolling main routs, guarding important facilities and ending on drinking vodka. Our brave hero ;-) will be promoted or demoted and send back to Poland – it will depend on player only.

Introduction

Our aim is to make a Polish modification for Operation Flashpoint. We decided to place the plot in the present time, in a fictional Arab country somewhere in the Middle East. Dictator has been overthrown but situation is still very tense. And one of the richest in oil countries in the world is very tempting. Fanatical fighters attacks become more intensified. Coalition forces decide to support local order forces. But it’s only the beginning of a long, laborious and dangerous mission. Not generals, but ordinary soldiers were supposed to see how dangerous…

The player is expected to be a sergeant of the Polish Army. He’ll take part in various missions including patrolling main routs, guarding important facilities and ending on drinking vodka. Our brave hero ;-) will be promoted or demoted and send back to Poland – it will depend on player only.

As a "mod" we understand, not only addons like guns, vehicles, soldiers etc., but also music and sounds (environment and voices), map, GUI and interesting and absorbing campaign.

We would like to finish our work in the near future, but cannot give exact date. Despite the fact we’re spending much time, there’s still a lot of work.

The Team

We’re a group of enthusiasts working together. Our common aim is to create modification quiet loosely based on events in Iraq, where coalition forces try to introduce order and big companies try to pomp out as much oil as possible…
