Thank you for the kind introduction Barbolani :-) I have updated the manual to reflect the changes coming in the latest patch. Pretty excited for barrage mode!

Hi Barbolani ! Thank you for all your time and effort to compile Antistasi for us.
Also thanks to DeathTouchWilly For making a great manual for Antistasi !
I have beenplaying Antistasi for 6 months and my FIA are in control of @33% of the Island.
I would like to contribute sme "Tips" to your Manual. Feel free to edit or change them DeathTouchwilly.... My First Tip Starting Antistasi is ....
Ammobox/Arsenal
You must understand how they work. It has been explained elsewhere so I am not going to go into it too much.
MY Tip : At the start you will be Scavenging dead bodies to try and Gain Equipment ! DONT take "Evertything you Can" back to your Ammobox !
Later on,when you advance in Antistasi you will be "Scrolling Up And Down" trying to see Past all the Junk you ahave accumulated !(ie. Hundreds of Diffrent Smoke grenades) You may have 10 minutes to prepare for AAF attack and you wont be able to find what you want Quickly !
Give you My Example : I captured lot of Diffrent CSAT weapons from Heli/Troop attacks.
So I ended up with 6 diffrent rifles,mags and more mags of varying types and clothing. I will NEVER get enough of any of them to supply the Arsenal . I didnt Need those Wepons (at the time). I just clogged my Ammobox by about 30 lines of Scrolling.
DO decide what weapons you are going to Arm your Future FIA Army with...Remember when you collect a certain amount of ANY equipment...It will go into your Arsenal and it will be important later.
Number 1 for me is Radios and Optics !(At the very start) If I have RangeFinder I can See and Tell my (Small) 2 man Squad....Your AI Squad mates "Like" targets Identified for them as you see them !.....
Ive got tons more Tips if anybody is interested ?

USeful tips ndeed the priorisation of what to unclock first. For me it's radios if you play with AI, and some decent rifle and scope.

Radios? Aren't radios (both personal and backpack) unlocked in the arsenal from mission start?

nonono

You don't play much with AI :)

Aiming to simulate TFAR for AI, radios are not unlocked by default, and they may lose contact with you.

explore a bit the forums and you will find the proper thread

Hi!

Just a quick update (@DeathTouchWilly, when you can) dogs are no longer furniture + guard dogs. Only guard dogs will spawn, and generally speaking for small patrols (cities, base surroundings etc..)

Been a bit busy. Will try to update the manual in the coming weeks. Can you let me know when you're planning to release another big patch? If it's soon probably best to get the change notes as soon as they're ready and just work off of that. Don't want the manual going out of date days after I publish a new one.

currently this (big one):

05/03/16 0.21.0 Alpha
- IMPORTANT: Big changes to AAF threat evaluation procedures on how and what to send to any attack.
- IMPORTANT: When AAF is short of funds, they will receive "credit" from CSAT in change of some support.
- IMPORTANT: AAF wont wait for you to call for a QRF if under attack, they may call for support helis, APCs etc. when they feel they need backup and it is available.
- Lowered to 100 mts the distance needed for AAF to check for enemies to surrender.
- Major AAF attacks will allways consist in at least one transport vehicle for land and air.
- Small air quick response from AAF may consist on transport choppers which will disembark troops.
- CSAT attacks will allways consist on 3 air vehicles.
- Now Fast Travel allows FIA roadblocks and watchposts as destination.
- Added some damage inmunity to fast travel units for a short time to avoid them damage when positioning.
- Dogs will patrol inside airports, indeed there allways be a dog in an airport flag to avoid undercover exploits.
- Personal garage gets persistent saved on vehicle removal to avoid exploits.
- Removed debug message on AAF attack calculations.
- AAF vehicle count was not broadcasted through the network. Tanks are back in headless clients.
- Improved LOS checks for smoke cover with new scripting commands.
- Backpack unlocking requirements will be 5* unlocked backpacks count to avoid easy static weapon backpack exploits.
- Missing tripod is now unlockable in Arsenal.
- Added some triple check to mortar positions as some of them were giving a little trouble. If no position is found, no mortar shall appear.
- On POW rescue missions, after the time limit the POWs who are not in a player group will be murdered.
- Lone dogs wont be inlcuded in the count for taking any zone.
- More smoke use for troops disembarking from helis.
- Tanks cover with smoke if they get heavy damage.

Too much AIs enemies, three of us literally take down a outpost, and base got wiped out by CSAT. The stupid FIA commander stand in the open and get shot. One AI static MG hit our moving track's tire with one shot from 1.1 km. Which is way too over powered for AI

I think you need to review the manual in the terms of the mission concept.

And have a walk through the official server to see how a bunch of players managed to take 50% of the island.

I AM ALIVE!!! Hoping to make updates based on your post in this thread this week.

If there's anything else that needs to be included in the update to the manual that is NOT in this thread please let me know.

1.0 changenots ATM (very long)
09/04/16 0.21.1 Alpha
- NEW FEATURE: FIA markers will show a number representing the number of garrisoned troops in the zone. This will show real time numbers.
- NEW FEATURE: Instead of the cheap actual delete minefield, now commander can hire an engineer which will be in search of mines, deactivates them, stores them in his truck, and if near to base, adds it to the ammobox.
- NEW FEATURE: Player Traits. Depending on what class players pick, they will have some advantages on camo, sneaking and load capacity. SP users pick the default Officer traits (less carry capacity, more camo, more sneaking). On player connection player will receive a message on the perks of the selected class.
- IMPORTANT: Server will allways reserve one slot for members, so any non member JIP players will get kicked if there is only one slot free and not all the members are in. In member JIP, if the server is full, a non member will be kicked if not all members are in. The maxmimum slots are counted from the editor placed maxmum units, so server admins will have to edit the mission to the desired number to use this feature.
- IMPORTANT: On refugees evac missions an AAF QFR will be sent after some time to the refugees position.
- IMPORTANT: Only server admins can add or remove members.
- IMPORTANT: NATO Ammodrop helis can be commanded with the HC module. Send them to the agreed drop point to receive their supplies.

- IMPORTANT: Conquering a power plant will have no inmediate effect on people´s support, but increase / decrease steadily on each tax report.
- IMPORTANT: Idle/Busy status on bases and airports has been improved. Now some actions affect it's business and not only big attacks performed (kill the Officer makes the base set to "busy" for 30 minutes). Status is integrated in the Persistent Save System.
- IMPORTANT: AAF may launch multiple small attacks to easy targets simultaneously or instead the big ones.
- IMPORTANT: Instead of waiting to lose a major attack, AAF will deploy minefields on bases considered as hot zones if they have resources on each tax report.
- IMPORTANT: Real time numbers on garrison detail too, as it won't wait for losing sector or despawning to update numbers.
- IMPORTANT: HALVED AAF vehicle pricing costs.
- IMPORTANT: AAF funds will never go below 0.
- IMPORTANT: Convoy objectives are not automatically revealed and shown on map.
- IMPORTANT: Raised zone search radius for mission request to 4Kmts.

- Skill increases for FIA AI now work correctly in MP.
- Counting with the survability rates on AI, increased their skill gains on each kill.

- Respawn when no AI is there to help and player bled out should work now.
- Player operated UAV will get deleted when destroyed.

"If no commander present, no vehicle subtraction for AAF". Is this some kind of a multiplayer issue, because I thought the Commander is automatically assigned when the original commander leaves.

"No defend Petros when area is well defended from air attacks". Won't this make Petros invincible? I agree that air transports shouldnt happen, but what about ground attacks or gunships?

The Commander is assigned if there are members in the server, if not, FIA has no commander and the engine gets suspended so no members may have fun and challenge while playing.

If you place 5 AA around Petros, it is invincible anyway. It's better to save the server from this task, and avoid exploits.
