Away from frontlines by Lumi
 

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



Mission Summary :
After tropical storm, electrics are away from the isle, and there seems to be unusually much of communication problems.


Map


After nearly 6 weeks of participation to war actions at the North Korea, Dogs of War is finally assumed a welcome break from front lines.

DOW company was pulled away from front line into reserve. Much of main equipment being lost in war, so it is now essential and good time to take care of what is left. Doing all the maintenance and repairs. For this DOW company or what remain was shipped to an isle of Santa Catalina under US control. There being enough of support, supply and engineering assets to repair what remains.

Officer of Isle being very friendly, you have been provided surprisingly loose schedule, and lots of spare time to spend in city of Santa Catalina.
After an week of partying and relaxing while away from the front lines, your strength is returning.

However, last night seemed to be very rough as rather large tropical storm sweep over the isle. At times heavy wind caused electric breaks, and it was nearly impossible to see anything at all cause of downpour of water.

Currently it seems that storm is finally over. It is almost ghostly, as there is no wind at all, and yet it is nearly impossible to see even street lights cause of dense fog rising up.

Moment later you may have noticed how streetlights were taken off, and there came command of turning away lights from buildings. This was nothing unusual, as when ever there was unknown movement in the radar this was standard procedure.

But you, and all of your men's being woken up right after that, and told to get ready in 10 minutes...  is something unusual. What is going on?

So how did you guys like the mission with less vehicles, was it better this way?

Was the driving part with trucks (going to hq and then airport) at the start pointless or did it bring any immersion?

what did you like patrolling at the area? And the foggy weather that got more clear at the end.


Was it too much that I over-run that hard with my armor force that you had basically nothing left.

How about that you got reinforcements from depo. Did it bring up.. any feeling of "Time for revenge."  "Finally working vehicle with no thermal damage." "now lumi is going to pay."

Hi Lumi

Great immersion from you as usual. When we lost our electronics it was a shock. Some confusion. Very well done there.

When we lost our CO that was also a problem for us until we regrouped.

It was nice to have a deep story behind the scenario as well as an intelligent AI. The Lumi-AI kept us on our toes. Far better than anything SB AI could have done.

Well done on a great mission and thank you.
