Arma 2, Arma 2 OA, and Combined Ops
So I have both Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA, and, on my old PC, I had them both installed and had run arma 2 once. I then launched from Arma 2 OA and had access to everything available in both games.
Now, my old PC was destroyed, and on my new PC, I have something of a unique space situation where my Windows partition only has around 15 GB available (not including space taken by the OS). So what I do is move games I've downloaded to my Ubuntu partition using Steam mover, which creates a shortcut in the common folder, then move them back when I want to play.
My question is, do I need to download both Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA having run arma 2 once before on another PC, and if so, can Arma 2 be on another partition and still give me access to the correct things in OA? Thanks.

You do need the games to run atleast once, not sure in what machine matters or not but it shouldn't.

It should be no problem at all aslong as you link them properly with SteamMover.
