Before we begin, please read just a little bit about the campaign we've got coming and fill in the survey

It is my pleasure to announce that Rising Storm 2 Campaign 1 will be:
Th30ne VS Gwynzer
Fields is going to be working as High Command for Th30ne and A Docile Sloth will be teaming up with me. Our TAs at the moment will be Matsif and Gonzo. No further TA, HC or Officer decisions have been made yet, expect to start hearing things in the next few weeks. ABC will open up in the next week or two, but I'd appreciate it if everyone could fill out THIS form to catch general interest and availability. If you're at all interested or willing to fill in as an officer or any other leadership position then you should definitely fill this in so we can get you helping out immediately.
As you all know this is a new game for us so we've added an open ended question to the survey for you to provide any ideas or suggestions for us to take on board as we kick things off. We're also aware that Rising Storm 2 does lack for maps at the moment. We'll hopefully getting a server up soon (we were in the red for a while, please donate. Thanks to everyone who already has, it's truly a massive help) and we'll be running custom maps on it on non battledays, if we find any to be particularly good we'll look into adding them to our campaign.
I also encourage anyone who plays the game to take the time to add any particularly good and communicative teammates to your steam friends list and encourage them to sign up here. We're always looking for new blood
As this is a trial campaign, to begin with we're going to holding off on on a RISK system and BlackOps. Our campaign is going to go on for a maximum of 10 weeks and will have a Soccer style scoring system similar to BF4C7 - GCvs21CW
We also taking this opportunity to refresh and upgrade some of our systems. You may notice that Teamspeak has been wiped and we'll be slowly getting back up to normal (and this time we're documenting as we go - lessons learned). We've just upgraded our forum version which should help us lower costs but you may see some ABC and theme related errors. If anyone would like to help out with this please contact Robawillis or myself and we'll point you somewhere where you can be useful
At the moment we are planning for:
05 Aug - Open Draft in ABC
12 Aug - Have officers selected, major recruitment drive, unorganised funday
19 Aug - Draft day and Funday 1.
26 Aug - Funday 2
02 Sept - Battleday 1 - The fight begins for real
Cheers!
- Gwyn
