Alright, I've had a look at this and everything seems to work ok...



I presume most people are using the Steam version of the game so it's version 131129 (?) and folder layout is like this...



Download the DayZ 1.8.0.3 from here. You want @Client-1.8.3-Full.rar  



In your Arma 2 folder create a directory named "@2018" (without the quotes naturally). Open the 1.8.0.3 archive and copy the files into @2018...


 
Next, open up the 2018 archive and extract the files - they go in the 2018/addons folder - allow it to overwrite when it asks...



Again, from the 2018 archive, copy the mission from the mission folder into the Arma2/Mission folder.
 
Now select the Arma 2 folder, select the "ArmA2OA.exe" and create a shortcut...



Drag it to your Desktop and modify it so it reads:

E:\ARMA2\ArmA2OA.exe -nosplash -skipIntro -mod=@2018
 

 
The exact paths will depend on your Arma2 install.
 
Double click the shortcut and you should be good to go.

Couple of points to note:

* You can use the most recent version of Arma 2 without issue - no need to muck around with Beta this or that. Follow either this post or the post by forum member "WB" above this one for Steam related stuff.

* You can use older versions of Arma 2 (GOG used to have a version) and patch it to the minimum required 103718 (Use the OP's instructions)

* Watch for "cross contamination" between mods / Arma versions - this can cause "missing content" messages.

* The mods listed in the first post by the OP can easily be added. They extract to their own folders like @2018 - @CoWar or @CBA. Remember, you need to add them to the command line...

E:\ARMA2\ArmA2OA.exe -nosplash -skipIntro -mod=@2018; @CoWar; @CBA;
