Single Player DayZ EpochSince there's quite a bit of interest in SP Epoch I thought I'd have a look at this. There's also another thread here on the forums
here with a lot of useful information from other forum members so be sure to check it out if you haven't already.
To start, head over to the dayz-sp.ru forums, specifically the forum post
here. Untranslated the page will look like this;

I say untranslated because if you look at the translated version of the page you won't see the download links which are next to the 4 yellow balls/arrows. Atomic Bee has also provided the direct links on page two of the thread
here to make things easier.
Download all the files to a folder of your choice. Create a new folder called DayZ_SP_Epoch (or whatever you like) and copy over your Arma2 install. I have to be honest here and say I was a bit baffled by the files I downloaded and the instructions I had read didn't make a great deal of sense to me - so I made it up myself with the focus being a single player game. I suspect my confusion is related to the both SP and LAN setup available in the files.
Here's what I did: I took the file named Готовая сборка DayZ_Epoch.1.0.3.1.rar and opened it with WinRar - you'll see a folder called Готовая сборка DayZ_Epoch.1.0.3.1 - double click on it and then you'll see four folders - select all four and extract them to DayZ_SP_Epoch. When you're done it should look like this;

Next, edit your Beta short cut (as I have in the above picture) with;
-mod=@DayZ_Epoch.Chernarus;
My complete line reads;
D:\DayZ_SP_Epoch\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash
And don't forget to edit the "Target" folder entry with the install folder name (DayZ_SP_Epoch for me)
That's it, start the game, single-player, scenarios and select the DayZ_Epoch.Chernarus mission. You'll be greeted by an in-game menu to define the parameters on the game, I have mostly translated for you;

I haven't done an exact translation but rather what is meant given the context and would appreciate feedback from anyone if there's any errors. And I'm really not sure about that Stamina one...

The "Default" in the description refers to the setting you will find the menu already set at btw.
It certainly is nice being on Chernarus in Epoch, it's just so easy. The game was working fine, Zeds and loot spawning fine. I didn't see any AI but with the default "30 bots" setting on a map as big as Chernarus I'm not surprised. This Mod does seem to be in Alpha/Beta so there may be problems but so far, so good!
