Spearpoint - UK Armed Forces 1965 - 85 [LEGACY]

Spearpoint's goal is to be the most detailed and accurate cold war British armed forces mod available for Arma.

During the cold war the armed forces of the United Kingdom took position as one of the key militaries upholding the defence of the free world. At the tip of the spear was a volunteer army made up of 160,000 personnel across the globe.

Features
UK armed forces mod spanning the era of mid 1960's to mid 1980's, representing all major theatres of combat: The Cold War in Europe, Arctic deployments as per The Falklands conflict, Desert as per the Aden Emergency and Tropical gear befitting Malaya.

A small note
This period of British military history involves multiple conflicts which have left wounds that, for many, still linger. For the sake of the wider community and perception of this work I would suggest a tactful approach to creating and distributing missions involving these conflicts. If you take issue with this statement or any content put out by the community using this mod, feel free to contact here or via Discord.

Credits
Over a year ago I began the process of learning to mod Arma 3 and put together Spearpoint. This would not have been possible without the mentoring and support of Mondkalb and the rest of the Arma Cold Warriors Discord channel. They are too numerous to name here, but the happy responses, healthy critique and empathy in frustration are what stopped me from giving up on this months ago.

The Arma 3 community as a whole has contributed to a huge knowledge base that I leaned heavily upon to get this mod in to the world. The Volunteer Commando Battalion is a group that kept me interested in playing Arma for years past its original run (back to the earliest days of OFP), and I would wholeheartedly recommend checking them out if you want to play with this mod in tactical realism scenarios.
