Hi all
For those who do not know VBS2 is based on the same game engine as ArmA "Armed Assault" in US "Combat Operations". and is from the same company that developed "Operation Flashpoint" (OFP) published by Codemasters.
Since this is a rumour site; I thought I would start one: It may well be the MOD and various private organisations working for them would be looking for people with experience using the ArmA/OFP scenario and Addon editor tools.
Thus it may be of use to develop such a skillset for some people.
You can get hold of the game version of ArmA from most game stores if you would like to practice with it and get used to the editor. There is a demo version of the game available on line but that does not include the full editor.
Kind Regards walker

A PDF version of this release is available here.
Bohemia Interactive is extremely pleased to announce that the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD) has purchased an enterprise license of Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2â¢). The UK MoD VBS2⢠license, distributed through Calytrix Pty Ltd (http://www.calytrix.com.au), provides a robust, flexible simulation for use in collective and tactical training, mission rehearsal, experimentation and terrain/3D model visualisation for AO familiarisation.
The decision by the UK MoD to purchase an enterprise license of VBS2⢠marks yet another important milestone for the product and further validation that the Real Virtuality engine remains one of the most flexible, extendable and cost-effective military simulation tools available today.
Under the enterprise license, Bohemia Interactive Australia is providing the following software and services to the UK MoD:
Site licenses for VBS2â¢
VBS2⢠tool suite

The enterprise license also includes an upgrade to the VBS2⢠Virtual Tool Kit (VTK) when released. The VTK will provide a range of editors that will enable every aspect of the simulation to be easily modified and configured; to the extent that the product could be repackaged by any typical user to suit a new training requirement or demand.
