I haven't tried it myself either, but I'll skip the $.50 diatribe, and say
try installing 'linux32' and running 'linux32 ./armyops190-linux.bin'
which should get you around the architecture problem.   Another option is
to try './whatever.bin --keep', which will, if using the Loki installer
(which most do), keep the uncompressed files around, and you can just dig
through the output errors to find a way around the installation (YMMV).
