Mission: Danger Close

smilodon · February 26, 2015, 10:03:30 PM

After Sunday nights utter disaster where you all survived AND completed the mission, I've had to seriously up my game. So hopefully for this coming Sunday (unless someone elses map is ready) I will be presenting:

Operation War Pig.

The mountain top village of Adbara is an important strategic location crucial to the ongoing conflict. Until recently it was under allied control. Yesterday the enemy assaulted the town and while they were unable to take control they did force our troops to eventually retreat from the village. It seems likely that the enemy will return and take full control at some point today.

However during the fight one of our most advanced battle tanks was damaged. It remains within the village guarded by its crew. It must not fall into enemy hands under any circumstances damaged or otherwise. An air or artillery strike to destroy the asset is not an option as there are still civilians within the town and the collateral damage would be politically unacceptable.

You are a UK Special Forces team tasked with destroying the tank. Your team and three Hunter Armoured Vehicles will be inserted by helicopter at a local civilian airstrip approximately 2kms from the village. You must drive the village and destroy the tank. Your helicopters will return to pick you up once the task is complete.

That is all.

I'm going to make this very nasty. The village is a nightmare to defend, you will be attacked for all directions without respite from both infantry and armour. The three Hunters will act as virtual ammo boxes but you will be severely limited in the equipment you can use. The squad leader will be issued with a map but the rest of the team will not be issued with maps.

Of course you can scavenge equipment from any enemy troops you kill. Enjoy.

I've made it run for 60 minutes. If you're still standing after that you can call it a win.

A few updates:

Making the Hunters into Virtual ammo boxes was nice but it also meant they would be targeted by the enemy and destroyed which was not so good. So there's an ammo box located in the town.

I've added a single light machine gun role (LMG MK200) and a sniper role (M320). The price you pay is more enemies to deal with .... and mortars :devil: . There's no end to this, just play as long as you can stay on your feet.
