[SP] Enduring Freedom (3 Campaigns + 8 Scenarios)

This mod aims to provide an exciting, objective and historically accurate single-player depiction of the 2001 conflict in Afghanistan through missions that tell real stories that took place during said conflict. Be advised that this mod requires a lot of dependencies, but I only use the best quality material, so you know for certain you're getting the best models and, therefore, the best experience. And well, since so many dependencies are required and the game is packed with a ton of content, my plan is to make up for it with as much singleplayer content as I can think of: more campaigns and more bonus scenarios depicting different operations and time periods of the war in Afghanistan! Download the mods that appear on the side, but also their dependencies (thanks to the Steam Workshop, it's really easy and trouble-free). At the moment, this mod includes 3 campaigns and 8 bonus scenarios, but that's subject to change. See below:

THIS IS NOT AN ORIGINAL ARMA 3 CAMPAIGN CREATED BY ME, THIS IS JUST A PORT OF AN OLD ARMA 2 CAMPAIGN.
Lions of Kandahar is an Arma 2 campaign originally created by HeadUp in 2012 based on the book of the same name by Major Rusty Bradley. It tells the real story of Operation Medusa in 2006 during Operation Enduring Freedom, mostly centred around the involvement of American special forces, in particular ODA 331, but they are not the only faction in this campaign. I ported it because since Armaholic's downfall it cannot be downloaded anywhere on the Internet and I wanted to save it for posterity.

The Illusion of Glory tells the real story of Operation Anaconda in 2002, one of the most important operations of the entire war. Based on true stories and real combat reports from Operation Anaconda in 2002, live this critical chapter of the War in Afghanistan through the eyes of several soldiers and special operators who fought in the Shah-i-Kot Valley. For the more casual gamers, think of it as the Medal of Honor (2010) campaign, but actually historically accurate.

Lone Survivor tells the true story of Operation Red Wings, a reconnaissance mission gone wrong in Kunar Province, in 2005. A four-man team is sent to track a Taliban leader, but they're exposed and outnumbered. Based on Marcus Luttrell's non-fiction book of the same name, you will experience the SEALs' fight for survival and the courage it takes to overcome seemingly impossible odds. If you've seen the movie or read the book, you know what to expect.

This mod also features independent scenarios related to the conflict in Afghanistan, but not directly linked to any of the campaigns. These can be unlocked by completing certain parts of the campaigns. The mod currently features the following scenarios:

• Rugby
  
• Falcon Summit
  
• Beschermengelen
  
• More Than Meets the Eye (Assault/Overwatch/Support)
  
• In the Caves
  
• Victory Point

My plan is to update this Workshop item periodically with bonus scenarios and even more campaigns, so make sure you stick around for that.

• The most realistic and historically accurate depiction of the War in Afghanistan to date, all done through extensive research and book reading both by HeadUp and myself
  
• All missions are based on true stories of courage and brotherhood
  
• Hundreds of custom re-textured and ported/custom-made assets to make the experience more immersive, from custom uniforms, to custom weapon variants, to custom vehicle skins!
  
• Unique bonus missions unlocked by achieving certain milestones in the campaigns, giving you an incentive to complete optional objectives
  
• A custom-made field manual with real-life informations about the factions, weapons and vehicles involved in this mod
  
• Nations often forgotten in this conflict, like Portugal, Romania, Canada, Australia or the Netherlands, some of which are playable
  
• Dynamic enemies that have random equipment in each playthrough, including weapons not seen in any other game! Thanks to taro8 for the original script
  
• An Arma 2-esque medical system made by Psycho
  
• Wide variety of mission formats: stealth recon, motorised combat patrols, massive assaults and defenses, UAV/AC-130 support, Apache gunner, and more!
  
• HeadUp's signature attention to detail and ambience-building, from briefings to the basecamps
  
• Full voice acting for the LoK campaign, intro/outro sequences for all missions, and a custom soundtrack
  
• Localisation support!

This mod features localisation support! Lions of Kandahar, The Illusion of Glory, all bonus scenarios and the field manual can be (or will be) played and read in several languages! Supported languages and translators:

• English - original version, HeadUp (LoK campaign) & man
  
• Spanish - man
  
• Polish - honger (only LoK campaign & bonus missions)

If you know your way around GitHub and want to contribute by translating this campaign to your own language, create a fork of this repository ( https://github.com/ManWithBow/lok-localisation ) and do your thing. Please, feel free to contact me and ask for help if you need it!

I can't fit them all here because the description has a limit, but here's a full list: https://gist.github.com/ManWithBow/7e6272cc2b3b3a1d6b62689d52d71694
If you see anything that is or might be yours and you want me to remove it, please tell me and I'll gladly do it!

• The AIS Revive system can sometimes make revived units playable via team switch. If this happens, just ignore it - if you do team switch, you won't be able to finish the mission. Only Mission 11 gives you the chance to switch between characters, and you will be notified.
  
• Arma 3 doesn't like it when characters speak inside vehicles, and their voice lines are greatly muffled. This is a quirk with Arma 3 and doesn't really have a solution.
  
• Only LoK and some bonus missions are voiced
  
• The enemies don't notice the player at all during LoK Mission 9. I have no idea what causes this issue, since the player is not set as captive and none of the enemies have forced hold fire orders.

Hope you enjoy this mod! All praise should be given to HeadUp for creating such a wonderful and atmospheric campaign and introducing me into Arma mission making. If you want to share anything (bugs, ideas, suggestions), feel free to tell me.
