Dynamic Recon Ops ACE - Lythium

This is not an official port of Dynamic Recon Ops, original mission credit to
mbrdmn. This port is designed to better integrate DRO with ACE3 and requires both CBA and ACE3.

Dynamic Recon Ops is a randomized, replayable scenario that generates an enemy occupied AO with a selection of tasks to complete within. Select your AO location, the factions you want to use and any supports available or leave them all randomised and see what mission you are sent on.

Designed to be simple to use but with plenty of options to customise your mission setup, the objective behind DRO is to create a way to quickly get playing a new scenario in singleplayer or co-op. With as few changes to the base game as possible, DRO aims to showcase the unique and varied gameplay that Arma 3 has to offer for smaller scale infantry combat.

Additionally, DRO has been designed from the ground up to take advantage of faction mods. If you have any mods that create new factions they will be selectable as player or enemy sides within the mission. However, the scenario itself requires no mods apart from specific terrains if you want to use them.

• Virtual Arsenal to select starting loadout for both player and AI units.
  
• Compatible with CUP, RHS, and 3CB factions.

• Up to 16 players or AI with scaling enemy numbers so even large groups are challenged.
