Map









Excerpts of the battalion commander's (HAVOC 6) orders for...BLUEFOR (D.O.W.)

1) SITUATION:

a) Enemy:Due to last weeks events resistance forces in the area are less organised than before but extremely aggressive. They are known to have set road side bombs, IED's on our patrol routes. And have used suicide bombers, and small strike teams against our camps.
   

b) Own: Our convoys consist of 2x Eagle IV trucks and 2x Pirantha 3IIC PCs and from Wisent ARV (mineplows / IED demolition)
             

c) Attachments and detachments:  UN forces on camps Jofu and Benzel will give support, supply, medic and repair assist from call.


2) MISSION: Make sure that your cargo will get safely to Base Cortez before local time 14:30.


3) EXECUTION:

Move along 28km patrol route to Base Cortez, you have 1 hour 30 minutes. That should be plenty.

Use your Wisent ARV to breach possible IEDs or minefields - In case of trouble, request help from other UN camps.


Intent: Will be revised once bluefor commander has decided on course of action.

Sitrep.

South of Camp jofy convoy spotted local restlessness. As they continued, they arrived to a location of civilian car accident. There was no hostiles in the area and no IEDs, Convoy continued to camp Jofu where a crazy car driver nearly hid leading vehicle.

Just east of Camp Benzel convoy was ambushed by rebels. Convoy fought back and managed to survive without losses. One vehicle having a broken suspension.

Convoy continued to camp Benzel to repairs, but were put under a mortar fire. They then continued west of camp Benzel very carefully, and received a radio message that helicopter that was supposed to come pick their cargo was shot down.

They were adviced to continue to base Cortez as a large force of rebels had attacked and passed a checkpoint at the mountains few tens kilometers west of base Cortez.

D.O.W. Saturday Mission 10/09/16 @ GMT19:00


Hot potato part 3 (night) by Lumi
Continuation of campaign





This scenario is a simulation and does not have any political message.



Mission Summary :
UN convoy is to travel 28km route from camp Charlie to base Cortez. Their cargo being politically very hot, and stakes to get it safely away from country being extremely high.


Map




Excerpts of the battalion commander's (HAVOC 6) orders for...BLUEFOR (D.O.W.)

1) SITUATION:

a) Enemy:Due to last weeks events resistance forces in the area are less organised than before but extremely aggressive. They are known to have set road side bombs, IED's on our patrol routes. And have used suicide bombers, and small strike teams against our camps.
   

b) Own: Our unit consist of 2x Eagle IV trucks and 2x Pirantha 3IIC PCs and from Wisent ARV
             

c) Attachments and detachments:  UN forces on base Cortez will give support, supply, medic and repair assist from call.


2) MISSION: Manage traffic and defend road checkpoint.



3) EXECUTION:

Intent: Will be revised once bluefor commander has decided on course of action.

Convoy force is tasked to operate road checkpoint just south of base Cortez. 

This road doesn't only lead to Base Cortez but as well to a river dam.  And because area has been long dry, there is lot traffic to this dam area. Not only civilians but as well tanker trucks move to get water from the dam and to carry it to many wells of small villages. And you will soon learn to tell... that Here In Bekistan water is more expensive than gold.  Of course a night time traffic to this dam increases. Not only tanker trucks but as well civilians will be moving past the checkpoint to get water in the coolness of night. Avoiding such long trips during a hot and uncomfortable daytime. So it will be busy time for those manning the road checkpoint south of Base Cortex. Thus, with this restlessness increased, and having a hot potato in Base...   it means that anything can happen on this night.
   
Your basic task will be. 

To stop the vehicles that advance road. Check them briefly if they carry nothing else than driver, and no potential cargo.   

If vehicles carry passengers. Guide vehicle to side...  wait to dismount to be able to check personnel IDs, for about, 5-10 seconds each. and stay near (inspecting contents of vehicle. When ready, move away from vehicle.

have men's observing surrounding terrain as far as they see. If need to patrolling nearby for good look out of the horizon for the possibly advancing rebel forces to be able to get early warning.

Keep eyes open for suicide bombers. Or vehicles that act suspiciously. out of normal. - In such case.. use your best judgement. A civilian driver who cannot drive straigh line might be just drunk. But purposely ignoring stop order, or risking health of your men's is entirely different thing.

--

In cases of emergency:
Trigger 3. Cortez commander will tell available infantry units to support yours
Trigger 6. as last resort if  enemy tanks are aproaching base Cortez, Then you will be handed 2 operational tanks -  Leopard 1A5s  from military base. But it will take a while.

If you are under attack and you can identify enemy and make sure no civilians will be harmed -  You can call artillery. Smoke and HE (3 off map batteries of 6 tubes)


------------------------------

Information:

Vehicles are Blind

Infantry are not blind (but are by default "Return fire only")

I will do testing and if Lemur while stationary is broken. Vehicles will use RWS instead of Lemur


Rebel forces = Red side and in some cases green (neutral) as well so that AI cannot help players to identify enemy.

I ran across this and thought players of this game might find it interesting.  A new Service Life Extension Program  for the M60.

Thank you Republic

I saw this a while back and bookmarked it but forgot to post it.

Thanks

I there a 'combat mission' way of playing this? I'm not too interested in been the man firing the fun or driving the tank but am interested in 'you go there and fire at that'

I stopped playing CM after getting tired of not knowing why my tank was killed, why it wouldn't fire, how can he see me If I can't see him and a whole host of other inadequacies and hoping SB can solve this for me

[Pete Dero]

A mission can be played from the commander's, gunner's, driver's position or from an observer's position.

In the observer's position you can give all your units commands on the map so this might be what you are looking for.

Hi UG

There is a new "Overhead view". This is accessed by pressing F8 twice. However this function must be turned on by the mission designer.

The fog of war is kept intact.

Look at the 3:00 mark

Hope this helps.

Ok so I can give all the units orders and then zoom down to road level and watch the units carry out those actions without having to 'command' a vehicle?

Yes

[undercovergeek]

Hmmm - is there a demo for 4.0?

I have played off and on for years in SP.  I have never once commanded from inside a vehicle.  Since 4.0, I play in a similar way to CM.  There is no wego, but the scripting and ai make up for it and beyond.
