SPEX - Spearhead Extended

SPEX or Spearhead Extended is the official workshop mod created by the Heavy Ordnance Works team. Designed to host ‘in-between release’ content created by the team, it aims to fill gaps in content as required when the team needs an agile delivery.

Continuing the stories of the Allied breakthrough in Normandy, SPEX allows you to step in the shoes of other units in France and abroad. Traverse new, detailed terrains inspired by historic locations, including Lingèvres, Utah Beach, and Carentan, and engage in intense combat with iconic units and gear like the 7th Armoured Division and 327th GIR.

Choose your approach with an array of authentic World War II weapons and vehicles. Take to the skies in C-47 Skytrains or glide into action with Horsa and Waco gliders. Spearhead Expanded offers the flexibility to immerse yourself in large-scale, realistic combat scenarios, whether solo or with friends, bringing the Arma military sandbox to life in a whole new era.



This British sector terrain, designed in 1:1 scale, captures the rugged terrain and strategic significance of this fierce battleground in the Normandy breakthrough. Key locations, including the war-torn village of Lingevres, the surrounding bocage, fortified German positions, and the distinctive orchard fields, are brought to life in stunning detail.

Be ready to navigate dense hedgerows, maneuver through the intricate network of orchard fields, and engage in intense close-quarters combat within the village. The abundance of micro vegetation adds depth to the battlefield, providing natural concealment and tactical opportunities.



This meticulously crafted 1:2 scale recreation of Utah Beach, captures the vast beaches and pivotal landmarks of the D-Day assault. Key locations, including the iconic towns of Sainte-Mère-Église and Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, the flooded fields, and the fortified stronghold of Brécourt Manor, bring history to life in stunning detail.

Prepare to assault the wide-open beachhead, navigate challenging flooded landscapes, and explore the scenic Normandy countryside. With various detailed, area-specific landscapes and objects, this terrain immerses players in the atmosphere of the Utah Beach landings and the fierce battles that followed.



This new terrain offers a highly detailed, 1:1 recreation of the Carentan area, bringing to life key locations that witnessed intense fighting during World War II. Iconic landmarks like the town of Carentan, Purple Heart Lane, Dead Man’s Corner, Saint-Côme-du-Mont, Hill 30, and the Barquette Lock have all been carefully crafted for realism.

The Carentan terrain is filled with strategic fighting positions and fortified checkpoints. Winding rivers, challenging sunken fields, secluded farmsteads, lush orchards, and traditional villages span the landscape, accompanied by meticulously designed, period-specific buildings. Together, they deliver an immersive recreation of the Carentan region, down to its distinct landmarks.

For the best experience with this mod, you need to own the Arma 3 CDLC: Spearhead 1944. You can use SPEX assets and terrains without purchasing CDLC, but this rule doesn’t apply to assets directly inherited from the CDLC (e.g., M4 Sherman = Sherman I). To use those assets, you will need to own the CDLC. People who do not own the Spearhead can download and install optional data via the Arma 3 Steam Workshop.
