ADDIT: Oh I didn't see all those previous responses! :-[
So basically, apart from applying the 1.6 and 1.62 patch (after I backup my 1.59 version) I think I'm all setup. Well, I don't have the "recommended" addons yet but otherwise, all setup.
Ah, well, I've got them all installed as @folders tooÂ
Yep. Lost is a mission. I guess I'm probably safe to patch and still be able to play that mission then. But I'll backup my entire Arma2 folder first anyway.
Seem to be about 90% there. Everon, Kolgujev, and Malden all load fine with the CWR2 mod running. Nogova is DLing now. I have yet to patch up to 1.62, as I'd like to be able to revert to 1.59 if I find that my favorite mission (Lost 5.3) won't work with the 1.62 patch. I posted a question about this on the main BIS Q&A forum:
I have Mk4 HUD installed, and will see about getting those recommended one's installed prior to tomorrow afternoon, as well as patching to 1.62.
Since I am a pretty bad player (I still use Enemy TAGs, and play on EASIEST difficulty) and have no familiarity with any of these islands or the CWR2 mod, I may be more of an observer than a player. But I will try to have everything needed properly installed and at least get on TS and join you guys tomorrow.

1. I assume that simply copying the entire Arma2 game folder and naming it something slightly different (Arma2.159) and then using the .exe in that folder (and/or creating a new shortcut) will launch the older version right?

There is no greater joy than to conquer your enemies and drive them before you. To take away their possessions and ride their horses. To see the faces of those they held dear bedewed with tears, and to clasp their wives and daughters in your arms.
