This guide is the end result of six months worth of time, effort, and energy. It deals with real-world combat tactics, techniques, and procedures, and how they can be applied in a virtual combat environment either as an individual or part of a team. It is based upon the experiences of my gaming group "Shack Tactical" and is over 60,000 words long, with videos, animations, and large amounts of pictures and illustrations to flesh out the many topics covered. While it is based upon ArmA: Combat Operations by Bohemia Interactive Studios, many of the tips and tactics described are applicable to a wide variety of wargames as well.

I've presented the guide in two dramatically different ways - the first is freely available online, and you can find that version here. The second and latest version is a hardcopy 8.5x11", full-color, 168-page paperback book professionally laid out and available from a high-quality print-on-demand vendor. You can find out more about (and order!) the paperback version here.

Here are some shots of what the paperback version looks like. I am very proud of how it turned out, for obvious reasons.

The main blurb on the back cover is a good explanation of what the guide is all about.
Covering everything from basic infantry tactics to advanced combined arms operations, Dslyecxi’s Tactics, Techniques, & Procedures Guide sets the standard for a community-developed player handbook. All of the essentials for organized play of ArmA: Combat Operations, or any other tactical realism game, are presented in a functional and easy to understand format. Where other guides approach tactical realism with bulky emphasis on “real,” Dslyecxi has distilled years of modern combat documentation into a package that is directly relevant to gaming, with none of the excesses that hinder game play. Beneficial to both experienced simulation and entry level players alike, Tactics is an excellent addition to any gamer’s library.

Hope you guys enjoy it. There's a nice mention of TacticalGamer right at the start of it, too.

By popular demand, there is now a half-price black-and-white version available. Cover is still full-color, inside is grayscale. It looks quite nice and, as mentioned, costs half as much.
