Safest way is with tree spikes with deep grabbing gaffs and boot gaffs or a Swiss climber set up. Gonna want to cinch wrap your flip line either way, might even want two. May want to set up a safety line that you can descend down from. Certainly don't want to go too high though, straight trunked trees without lower limbs have a high center of gravity. Higher up you go, the more your weight moves the tree. Also keep in mind that the wax of the tree may cause some issues even once you're up the tree. A blanket to keep your rifle from touching the trunk so you don't have steaming or smoking wax blocking your optics or giving your position a marker for a mortar team.
Personally, I'd rather position in a tree with a canopy I can work with. Rope up to a lower limb, monkey/rope up the remainder till in a nice position to make a cut out. With some 1 inch webbing and a few beer knots, I can set up a nice little tensioned sling for the rifle. Also has the added benefit of not leaving signs of a climber occupying that tree.

I know this isn't /v/, but Rahmadi is from the original Arma.

In WW1 they simply opened up a a barrel of the shit and hoped the wind blew it in the enemies direction

Short of a nuclear strike anyone trying to attack will get turned to paste, be it a carrier strike group or some gooks in speedboats
Since this thread seems to be the scenario thread, I'll post the pre-game images of one of my Combat Mission games that's since resolved. I figure it'd be interesting to see what Zig Forums tactics would be in comparison to what I did. For the purposes of seeing both sides, I'll spoiler information about each side's composition. WWII, US Army VS. German Army, Late Summer 1944 Occupy Benedendorps Weg or force opposition to surrender/withdraw The 'map' area is quite small and rather restrictive. North to South and East to West it measures only about a kilometer across. While flat spots exist, there is in general a gradual slope rising from the South (low) to the North (high). Forested areas are dense and ideal for concealing infantry, although very restrictive to vehicles. This is a meeting engagement, US enters from the West (left side of image) Germans from the East (right side of image) simultaneously No fully tracked vehicles are available to either side No advanced, preplanned bombardments will take place It is assumed that the objective is important for both sides to seize that all reasonable attempts will be made, until such point that one side is forced to concede. After one hour a divinely enforced ceasefire will occur Your force is roughly company strength, consisting of four rifle platoons, an under-strength combat engineer platoon and a machinegun section. In addition, two pairs of 81mm mortars are at your disposal, equipped with both HE and smoke rounds. A M2HB .50cal HMG with the crew required to move and man it are also attached. Two M8 Armored Cars (Greyhounds) are also attached. All men are assumed to be of rather standard quality. Finally, a pair of P-47D Thunderbolts are on station to provide fire support on request. They are not equipped with any ordinance beyond their machine guns.
Your knowledge of the enemy force is sparse. It is likely they are of a similar size, although they may be larger or smaller in numbers depending on supporting elements. It is highly likely that they contain at least some light (=
Missiles and artillery rounds can be taken out by the S-400 or CRAMs.

Ez, buy the rockets from arty tab as germans, shell the cap zone, set up tank destroyers to they have good view on cap zone, put forward some forward observers to direct fire at any AT enemy might have, when thats mopped up use few Pumas to clean out resistance from buildings

Welcome the invaders, make them feel invited and give them poisoned food.

Set up a shit ton of SAM's, have bunch of mobile nuclear launchers, have some bunker ones too. Mine the perimeter and have a couple of sumbarines with nukes too. Basically Cuba with nukes again.
