Thanks very much for the comments guys!
Umlaut I think you've got a point actually- the default icons are pretty much self-explanatory. Obviously there's some personal preference involved like you say, but putting them back on is a damn good shout. Its already all recorded so I can't change it for this game, but its something to think about for the future, thanks.
Heinrich505- glad you're liking it man. I'd love to have the camera down there all the time, but its not a PBEM game so I don't get the replay and I don't want to miss what's going on in the bigger picture. Its a bit of a compromise, but it sounds like I'm on the right track.
Part Two is up!
 

Thought I'd dip my toe in here with an after action video. Its a medium sized, quick battle meeting engagement, I'm playing as the Germans and my opponent is playing as the American army. This is just the intro and the first few turns, more to follow as soon as I get time to edit it all together...

Ah, Operation Flashpoint and Arma: experience the short, sharp terrifying life of one your pixeltruppen. Loads of fun.
 
Talking of short, sharp, terrifying pixeltruppen experiences here comes the start of my latest video AAR:
 

 
Its a pity you can't prepare buildings for defence, booby trap things or barricade the streets etc, but hey ho.

Good luck to that Russian under the Abrams! Get your spade out and dig man!
 
Thanks for the comments guys- just out of interest for the replays, is there a way to bookmark camera locations? I'm just trying to manually get the camera in the same place each time and I'm not always spot on. Would make it a lot smoother.
 
In other news, I've got another AAR coming up:
 

 
 
Sucks to be in that building: in hindsight, opening fire was maybe not the best move there.

Final part of Dueling Shashkas. Really had a lot of fun with this.

Next part of Dueling Shashkas (sadly no comic book treatment)
 

 
For some reason towards the end I threw away any kind of recce, combined arms, patience and sense in favour of being Marshal Ney for a turn. Totally worth it, but my tankers would disagree.

This is me having a go at Duelling Shashkas against the AI. Or alternatively, Dance of the Laser Warning Receivers. Absolutely loving it.

Presumably it was an exasperated old-timer: "Stop mucking about with yer fancy technology and watch how a real man does it!"
 
At present I'm chewing my way through some QBs just to get used to everything and I have to keep stopping to film impressive stuff. We've got the plucky enemy ATGM gunner getting the Fulda Gap treatment who tries to be a hero:
 

 
Should have stayed in his hole.
 
And the first time I've gotten wrong-footed by the AI: "Oh, those tanks will go around the woods and we'll hit them in the flanks with the RPGs..." WRONG.
 

 
How my two T-90s ended up on the enemy flank for the last bit of footage was epic, but I pressed the big red button instead of 'play' to film the replay and lost the opportunity. They charged through enemy infantry pinned down by a torrent of small arms fire and popped up at point-blank range next to the enemy tanks. Crazy stuff.

On the plus side, the survivors should remember to run the hell away from any nearby vehicle that comes under fire.

Here's my first attempt at a video AAR. The voice isn't fantastic (hopefully fixed for the future) and its a quick battle against the AI so this could seen as a training exercise in more than one sense. Here's all the action:
