Description
This Collection will cover all the various SFF faction mods from different Special Forces, Commando/ Elite regiments or OPFOR groups across the globe. This does NOT include my Overhauls, or replacement packs, for various base game factions, those are a separate collection.

They will all have similar core dependencies so it's easier to have multiple factions at the same time, and will all work together with full Editor, Zeus, MCC, ACE3, TFAR and ALiVE support.

Permissions-
All SFF factions will be available on Workshop, as well as other download locations like Armaholic, PW6 or Arma3.De to make it easier for you to download and use them. Feel free to use the various factions however you like, but if you are using them publicly use the official version on the Workshop.

Info on upcoming factions, polls for new mods, and help can all be found on the forums page for the mod series-

Discussion page and updates/ WIP logs will be posted here before they hit the Workshop.
