This video show the even of the 21/08/07 where the unexpected happened in Arma Combat Operation, after fighting cities after cities this is the kind of thing that you don’t expect. All the soldiers defending Masbete had surrender. Leading to an interesting operation to lead all the Prisoners of War to the main POW camp on the other side of the map. It was very long, probably took an hours to lead all of the 70 prisoners to the camp. But it was interesting to see.

My theory about what happened is that I flew a A-10 over the cities and destroyed Shilka around the place, and I destroyed some radio tower leading to this interesting bug. I think this kind of bug really does show an unexpected side of games and it’s alway cool that such bug happen. Leading the player to play a role that wasn’t originally plan. I also found that really interesting to see the impact on the “war machine” that such event had. It probably took us 4 or 5 hours to clear all the other cities, but the fact that we had to transport all the POWs totally halted or fast paced advance. We mobilized a lot of resource and time to take care of the prisoners. Now just imagine how much resource a real POWs would take to a real army? I think you could nearly develop a strategy that use POWs to immobilize your enemies…
