since v1.10:
new "Faction" setting: MULTI. If chosen, additional list should show up with all factions of selected side. It allows to choose multiple factions per side (forces should be randomly picked from the pool of groups from all selected factions); and other changes [forums.bohemia.net].

Also it would be great to have HWS allow multi-force sides: Perhaps I want CSAT AND Russia on one side, against NATO and 3CB British forces on other side!

Okay, I hope NR6 can figure out how better way to get reinforcements to work in HWS.
Also, airplanes and maybe boats too (I'm praying).
Then I'd only have to use Zeus for building additions, and Virtual Arsenal for custom loadouts. Huge time saver!

No, don't make sense implementing NR6 reinforcements script in HWS yet, its not War Stories wise, but for Hetman missions is ok.
Also, the scprit only woks on east or west side and you have to config per mission, War Stories need its own reinforcement scripts.

Buska, does this NR6 Hetman have the reinforcements improvement?

Buska, this scenario has the NR6 new Hetman in it? YES!!

@WW3andMe
- ADDED: NinjaRider600 modified/updated version of HETMAN (HAL 1.23.3 [NR6]) into War Stories.
Now it will benefits from HAL - [NR6] features, notably the revamped task system and the contents in the Radio chat, its much more battlefield immersive.
- ADDED: [NR6] ZBE Cache - HAL Optimization.
Its a modified version of ZBE_Cache (Original script by zorrobyte) based off version 4.6a of the original script to be compatible with the cargo system used in HAL.

Updated others as well

I do wish the HWS gave an Friendly vs Enemy score as well as your personal score.
There are times when I have been like Rambo but my side still lost overall.
And times when I never fired my weapons but my side still won decisively.

I love how sometimes HWS AI commanders are brutally aggressive, sometimes sneaky, sometimes defensive, & sometimes running scared from loud noises or shadows (as in real life).
Also, the role that morale & percentage of loss plays is great. Don't have to kill everything...you make the enemy lose the will or ability to fight on.

Some other scenarios say they do dynamic conflicts, but I find them too complicated or too limiting.
I don't want to buy my army like an RTS...the purchases & preparations are already done & you have what you have on-hand or nearby during real-life battles! Reinforcements are scheduled ahead or they're not coming.

Agree that HWS is wonderful way to play Arma 3. I use Virtual Arsenal for loadout changes, and Zeus for reinforcements.
Then whatever mods I want to play, almost everything works with HWS!

i tryed to look into the code, to do some fixes myself.
but i could not figure much, i suck at scripting

@WW3andMe, HWS 1.06_beta 5, i dont know wich version Alky Lee use for his ports.

I'm eagerly waiting Rydygier to update HWS, make a new version of Hetman, they are my preferred way to play Arma too. It's incredible how it creates a dynamic War with so little setup.

Buska, are you using a different version of HWS than is used in the ports published on Steam by Alky Lee? I heard Rydygier was making a newer version.

@WW3andMe, you are welcome, but give full thanks to Rydygier for HETMAN

Thanks for doing these HWS ports!
Hetman War Stories is my preferred way to play Arma 3.
