THE TEN THOUSAND DAY WAR

arma 3 · unsung · a valley that keeps fighting when nobody is watching

A persistent Vietnam war that runs around the clock whether anyone is playing or not. There is no schedule and no lobby — you drop in whenever, and the war is wherever it got to without you.

DOWNLOAD THE LAUNCHER Windows · 71 MB · no installer

Run it. It checks your machine, tells you in plain words if anything is missing, fixes what it can on its own, and puts you in the war. It also shows you the valley live — who holds what, how many are fighting — before you commit to loading a game.

Windows will try to stop you

The launcher isn't code-signed, so you'll get “Windows protected your PC”. That's SmartScreen not recognising a small private download, not a virus warning. Click More info then Run anyway.

If it still won't start: right-click the file → Properties → tick Unblock → OK.

Version 1.1.7 connects directly to TitanII on the home LAN, checks the Prairie Fire installation, and verifies our private addons before joining.

Playing from home?

Use this release on the home LAN. Remote play is temporarily unavailable while the server's Tailscale connection is being set up.

What you need first

  1. Arma 3, owned on Steam. The launcher finds it by itself.
  2. S.O.G. Prairie Fire, owned and fully installed through Steam. The launcher checks that its files are ready.
  3. Access to the home LAN and permission from DeadMan to join the private war. Tailscale is not required for this LAN release.

Run the launcher to see what is missing. Finish Steam downloads before joining; the launcher will explain any missing game, DLC, mod or connection requirement.

Your first five minutes

  1. Choose a kit at the board. That kit sets your job: medic, engineer, support, or another role.
  2. Open MY JOB for your current assignment. Use Command radio to request an order.
  3. Follow the assigned objective, help your squad reach it, and capture or defend its flag.

The mods

Twelve Steam Workshop mods, and the launcher lists them with a tick or a cross so you can see exactly which ones you still need. Anything missing gets a button that opens its Workshop page — press Subscribe and come back.

The required mods include NIArms, Hanoi Hannah, and Moistbois Vietnam radio. NIArms is about 4.2 GB, so allow time for Steam to finish downloading. Installed JSRS SOUNDMOD 2025 is optional; the launcher uses that version when its files are ready.

It also downloads our private addons: radio music, the sun fix, loading artwork, radar compatibility fixes, the period weapon locker, field smoking items, safer multiplayer controls, and optional commander speech. The private radio music is about 289 MB. If a private download gets interrupted, run the launcher again and it picks up where it left off.

Version 1.1.4 adds optional spoken commander replies and supports gentler night visibility. Speech uses a voice already installed in Windows and stays off until you enable it in the in-game commander menu. Subtitles remain on, and the same menu lets you lower the volume or stop a reply. No microphone is needed.

One rule

The radio music is ours and it is private. Never share it, upload it, or put it anywhere public. Everything else here is just Arma and Steam.

If something goes wrong

If the launcher cannot reach the war, check that this computer is connected to the home LAN. Remote play is unavailable until server enrollment is complete. If you are on the LAN, check whether another VPN is blocking local network access.

Anything it can't solve, screenshot it and send it to DeadMan. It shows the exact thing it tried, so the picture is usually enough.
