Welcome to Coalition! Just follow a few easy steps and you'll be able to join our Arma Reforger sessions.

Step 1: Download our Modpack

Our modpack can be installed by connecting to our server that is online most of the week for downloading of the modpack.

You do this by double clicking on the server and then entering the password below before letting your mods install, whilst this is happening you can follow step 2.

password: torch

Step 2: Join the Discord

If you don't have Discord installed already, you can find it here

Once you have Discord installed, you can join us at https://discord.gg/the-coalition

Step 3: Test Your Modpack and Server Connection

During the day before session it is recommended to connect to the server once beforehand to make sure your mods work and to ensure you have the correct version, this can be done by clicking on the server just like in Step 1.

If you are able to successfully join the server without any errors, you are ready to join our sessions!

If you run into any issues joining the server, post a screenshot of the error you are getting in the #tech-support channel in our Discord, and someone will help get you squared away.

Step 4: Join a Wednesday or Saturday Session

Now that you have your modpack squared away, you're ready to join a session. 45 minutes prior to session, you should see a message in Discord letting everyone know 'Prejoin is Live!' This is a special prejoin map we run prior to session to let everyone have one final chance to make sure their mods are loaded, and practice on different weapon systems and get ready for session.

First navigate to the "arma" category in the discord and join the Waiting to JIP / Slotting channel.

Once you are in the JIP channel, launch Arma Reforger and click on the button on the main menu that says Multiplayer before following Step 1 by either entering below information in "direct join" or by searching for COALITION and joining on the password locked server (see Step 1 image for an example).

IP: 135.148.136.167
Port: 2001
Password: torch

Once the actual session begins, you are only allowed to slot as one of these roles:

Assistant Automatic Rifleman
Grenadier
Rifleman Anti-tank
Vehicle Driver

Administration will call slotting roles in the order of rank:

Leaders and Medics
Specialists and NCOs 
Recruits and Public Players <-- You slot here
Soldiers 
Grunts & Everybody else

For more info about these roles, as well as an infantry overview, check out this Guide
