LDD Kyllikki
History and Introduction
Local Defence Detachment "Kyllikki" was officially formed on 30th of March 2001. Comprised mainly of Finnish Army reservists, the detachment was an Operation Flashpoint squad until early 2007. In the early years, we played as the Resistance troops, since they had the same kind of equipment that a Finnish reservist infantry brigade would have during wartime. Additionally, the Resistance stood between NATO and the Soviets in OFP, which suits LDDK's political stance rather nicely. However, with the FDF MOD came the nearly perfect simulation of the Finnish military, and it was adapted as LDDK’s primary modification as soon as it was released.
In February 2007, LDDK changed its active game to Armed Assault, the successor to Operation Flashpoint.
The organizational structure and rank system follows Finnish Army standards, although few liberties are taken in some occasions. We don't go into too much detail or hard-core roleplaying, but do maintain a certain degree of organization to ensure equal treatment for everyone. Our aim is to be visible in the OFP/Arma scene, fighting in organized manner against other squads, but we also play co-op matches against the AI. Training has an important role in developing fighting skills and tactics of our squad members. There's always room for improvement.
In 2009, as Arma 2 was released, LDDK moved on to play it. Servers were updated as well.
Servers
LDD Kyllikki's Arma 2 servers are open. Playing does not require LDD Kyllikki's membership.
However, playing on the servers does require:
- A legal copy of the game
- Japahto and FDF Podagorsk -island addons
- Good manners in game and outside the game
- Understanding the basics of team play
It is also preferred that you:
- Connect to our Mumble server, even if you have no mic
- Joining Quakenet's #Kyllikki irc channel
You will find the server addresses and passwords on Quakenet's IRC channel #Kyllikki.
Notice: Never join the server when there is a text "Servu varattu" or "Server reserved" in the topic of the irc channel! The server is then in Kyllikki's private use. If there is a time mentioned in the topic, it's GMT+2.
Also please notice that while international players are welcome, you are the minority. Most of the players are Finns and Finnish is the primary command language during the game. Most Finns speak good enough English, but not all, and there may not be enough time to communicate everything bilingually. So enjoy the game, but kindly adjust.
