The Vanguard Approves Testing
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege shows no signs of slowing down, with three more seasons still to come which will include six additional operators and two new maps. The title has truly arrived as of 2018. In other Siege news, The Vanguard has officially accepted Rainbow Six into testing as of January 10, 2018. We have seen an increase in [BWC] members hosting operations late in the evening, having multiple teams playing concurrently. Being a title set tightly around its learning curve, good communication, and good knowledge of the map and operators at hand, a community presence such as Black Widow Company with the “One Team, One Fight” mindset can help improve the skills of everyone. The arrival of Siege to Vanguard testing was highly anticipated, with Phalanx writing, “It brings me great pleasure to tell you that Rainbow Six: Siege is the latest game being tested within The Vanguard.” Phwoarr will be taking the mantle of Game Champion, leading the members in operations and being mentored by the Vanguard team.
If you haven't already tried Rainbow Six: Siege, the free weekend is February 15th-18th,
and “Avenging7Folds” is hosting an operation on Friday, February 16th open to everyone.
Keep an eye out for more operations and give one a shot.

History
Just over two years ago, Ubisoft released the hit FPS Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege, and the title has shown no signs of slowing down any time soon. It was only two months ago, after all, that the game achieved a whopping 100,000+ concurrent players, an achievement the title did not come anywhere near in its first two years. As we enter Season One of Siege in 2018, it remains the 4th most played game on Steam, and Ubisoft is rewarding us this month with the launch of Operation Chimera. The operation will see new operators, a brand-new, limited-time gamemode, and a healthy amount of seasonal cosmetic items. Ubisoft is also giving the players who have not tried Rainbow Six: Siege a chance to try it out for themselves. The free weekend begins on February 15 and runs until February 18, and will include access to the full game, including all maps, modes, and Operators, so if any of you do not have a date on the weekend of Valentine's, we in the [USG] Rainbow Six: Siege department would love to have you!
Let us take a closer look at what Operation Chimera offers to the players:
The New Operators:
The new operators are part of a newly formed CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) Threat Unit. They will be playable both in multiplayer and the limited-time cooperative gamemode, Outbreak. There will be two operators, one French and one Russian, named Lion and Finka. The French operator, Lion, uses a drone to maintain the perimeter in quarantined areas. The Russian Operator, Finka, employs "self-dissolving nanobots.” More information will be revealed during the Six Invitational, which will run February 13-18.
The New Game mode:
Lion and Finka will join Smoke, Ying, Buck, Kapkan, Ash, Doc, Tachanka, Glaz, and Recruit in the town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, which has fallen prey to an “extraterrestrial parasite called the Apex,” delivered to our neighborhood courtesy of an old Soviet space capsule. Only these operators will be playable in Outbreak. Alien organisms have transformed the population into ‘horrific creatures’ spread across five unique archetypes, each with its own unique abilities. In response, the government has cordoned the town and issued orders for a team of three Operators to go in and clean house. The Outbreak event will launch to coincide with Operation Chimera.
The New Maps:
The new mode will also have three exclusive maps, which will be much larger and open than the competitive maps because they are designed specifically for co-op play.
Exclusive Seasonal Content:
Within the duration of the 4 weeks event, an exclusive collection of cutting edge cosmetic will be available. The Outbreak Collection contains 50 cosmetic items ranging from Rare to Legendary quality. The items include weapons skins, headgear, BDUs, charms and a unique Elite skin. They are found in Outbreak Packs, which each contain one item. The packs will be available for 300 R6 Credits each ($2.50), with Ubisoft promising that “no duplicated will be dropped.”

World of Warships C&S have been holding a weekly Operation on Sundays at 15:00 with a new twist to training and fun.
Ship Shenanigans are meant to have fun in a crazy, unpredictable way and get the team spirit juices flowing abundantly. If you have some kind of weird association with that last phrase ... well that's all your fault heh.
World of Warships C&S have decided to continue weekly Operations because of attendance and the awesome level of fun for the last two weekly Operations.
(description below for our last two ops)

Little Mouse
Bring your highest tier BB and one poor soul will bring a low level T1-2 ship. Every BB goes in the middle (guaranteed mayhem ensured) and they will try to stop the poor little mouse. Sluggish BB's vs a single nimble ship in a narrow passage. Who will come out victorious? Oh btw ..... Ramming only allowed, secondaries off.
Torpedo Funfest
We will hit the training room with T4-5 destroyers (most should have them) in the epicenter mode. Everybody must get in the inner circle and after the starting signal: let those torps fly. King of the hill rules, last man standing is victorious. Yes, friendly torping is encouraged, gunfire is forbidden at penalty of horrible shaming and naming. Let's practice your torp dodging skills to the extreme. We should probably start spread out, but we will arrange the details depending on the numbers available. Protip: i would leave your Pan-Asian DD in port (but it's your choice).
