History
The 1st. Irish Rangers were founded back in 2001, bit after the release of Operation Flashpoint - Cold War Crisis. Two Irish tested the game on network and soon a third was invited. Soon after some gaming, the 1st. Irish Rangers Multiplayer gaming squad was set up. Originally for Irish members, the clan now includes members from all over Europe. The ball was rolling when more members from Czech Rep, England, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Netherlands joined.
About [1st-I-R]
The 1st. Irish Rangers is a fictional group of the ARW Army Ranger Wing. The ARW are Irelands Special Forces similar to the 1st SFOD-D.
The Squad contains players dedicated to Operation Flashpoint Resistance and the Finnish Defence Forces mod. The structure within the Squad is modelled after the Army of the Irish Armed Defence Forces. A chain of command is required to ensure efficient administration and command on the Battlefield.
[1st-I-R] is mainly a coop orientated clan, although CTF and C&H gametypes are also played and mastered by the members. The home of the 1st. Irish Rangers is the Forum where questions are answered and recruits welcomed. The team uses Ventrilo for in-game communication and the gaming server, provided by the 451st Sniperteam squad is like the Ventrilo server stationed in Denmark.
The 1st. Irish has a Staff of two Officers and two NCO. These four highly skilled professionals command and control the jobs within the squad. An Recruitment Officer is assigned to spot new talents, test and imrove their skills. After a test period the tested recruit will, after a democratic poll, receive the [Pvt] rank. The squad is built up from several firesquads in which each member has his specified role. These squad perfom together to reach the objectives and are variable as the skills are divided carefully and the elite soldiers trust their commanding officers.
What makes out the Irish Rangers
Are the Irish Rangers just a group of players that run around in fictional enviroments and kill artificial intelligence ? No ! The Irish Rangers are a group of experienced players of the worlds best tactical simulator. Throughout the years and and hundreds of intense missions the members turned into millitary experts.
A firesquad uses real life tactics and combines speed, lethality, stealth, information analysing, brilliant weapon handling, info about enemy forces, best insertion ways, extraction zones, covering and flanking tactics aswell as suppressing, distracting and cheating the enemy. CQB and LRP and cover of a dedicated Sniperteam, an emegerncy pilot for infil. and exfil. missions aswell as "Rapid Reaction" Soldiers and the ability to spontaniusly split into several teams to take up differient objectives and the intern-communication between those teams and their flexibility make out this Spec Op squad.
Members of the 1st.Irish Rangers have their expert roles in which the guarantee a 100% kill. Tactics and professionalism are the highest priorities of the squad which fears no mission at no time.
Despite the great effort each member puts into the clanlife, the relation between the members could not be better. We are very proud to have formed such a nice community of only friendly and kind members. Members support each other on any way possible, even sending off hardware and they remain in constanct phone contact. All members are from Europe and many of the members did visit others and I am very fortunate to be part of this family. This is a blessing to find a squad combining professionalism and affability.
451st Sniperteam Server
IP: sniperteam.dk
The 451st Sniperteam server is located in Denmark and is a very stable Linux server on fibre glass. The server holds a maximum of 20 players.
The mission numbers are 1000+ for normal maps and 800+ for FDF maps.
At the moment the server runs the Finnish Defence Forces map but will run Resistance plus the ECP mod soon again.
The server runs in Veteran mode ! No crosshairs, no 3rd, super AI ! Missions are mainly cooperation maps with NO respawn.
Addons needed to game on 451st
1st. Irish Rangers participated in the Flashpoint Combat Missions league and still play those 1st. class COOP missions and thus the addons should always be at the ready. Many maps on the server also require BAS. The BAS and FCM addons should be loaded by your FDF shortcut, as the sever currently runs the Finnish Defence Forces.
