D.O.W. 4-7 CAV Phase II of Campaign by Cougar11
This scenario is a simulation and does not have any political message.



Mission Summary :
From HVOC 6: Good morning or should I say it’s too early to deal with this. After yesterdays surprise airborne and mechanized assault by Russian forces, we are still conducting hasty recovery operations. We lost some good crews from three of our Bradley’s including the XO, a 113 Engineer vehicle, and a Bradley Engineer vehicle. Not to mention the Squadron command team was ambushed on their way back to the HQ. We also sustained a lot of personnel casualties, and vehicle equipment damage. Current strength of the Troop is four tanks including the CO, one from second, and two from fourth platoon. Bradley platoons are showing both first and second having four operational at this time. Replacement vehicles, crews, and equipment have been ongoing, and will be finished soon. Make sure you check back with the UMCP to take control of units as they become available. We have been augmented by the Greeks with a company minus of infantry, and a platoon of STRV’s which are in route. They will anchor at the river and hold as long as they can to the East of St. Joseph. We have been tasked to hold the town of St. Joseph, the school complex to the South, and if possible take a possible short strip airfield to the East Obj. Stone. An hour ago I received word that a combined force of Albanian/Serbian, Romanian/Ukrainian, and Russian forces are pushing southwest to take the town of St. Joseph. Enemy strength is estimated at battalion size. It is probable that they know what our current force strength is, and wish to exploit our current low numbers, and small force size. It is our job to hold the line, and destroy the enemy to our front. We cannot allow any enemy forces to make it inside of the town of ST. Joseph. Expect to see T model tanks ranging from T55-T90, BMP 1-3, BRDM, BRDM-AT, and infantry depending on what forces you are currently facing. We will be greatly outnumbered! Make sure you make your shots count. Get your men ready, and prepare for one hell of a battle!!! MOVE OUT!!!

All Welcome

[Cougar11]

Here is the mission for Saturday. Hoping for a good turnout of people. The more crewed or single player vehicles we have the better. Expect long range and close in fighting in this one. It will keep you on your toes, as I was very overwhelmed on my own.

If someone wants to CO it, and wants the mission file early to make a plan, please come online when I am around, or if you cannot get with me, let Asid know. He will be able to contact me if he can.

Ahahahah  well said.  


And hey Cougar! Great looking mission and I love the fact that you posted this here! Absolutely marvellous! This is the way it should always be    thank you!

Can't wait to have my change to play on this one. ^^ 

I think I wont CO... I want to get some training to it to have my nerves working and not to be freezing as I sometimes do, even while commanding just single tank.  -  But this really helps me to have good overview of whats going on.   and to know what kind map I'm going to work on. 

I will take One platoon of brads like last time. For immersion.     I gotta take care of those like those would be my babies    if something happens... well then I'm probably bad father lol.

[Stardog765]

Very nicely put together Cougar!

Sounds like a party and a half... 

[Cougar11]

Colebrook has accepted the position of CO to continue his command with what was left from his previous mission in the campaign.

Thank you Colebrook. Hope you are able to devise a good defensive plan, and wish you success with minimum casualties!!! 

[Asid]

The famous "line"..

This should be another great Cougar mission

[RedWardancer]

The scout teams (2 men) have Javelins instead of AT-4s.  With two shots each and with superior tactical positioning, they just may turn the tide. 

What I DO NOT know is when dismounts mount up after shooting off their ATGMs, whether or not they get reloads.

Now you can add:
No javelins
Co who barely can speak english 

[RedWardancer]

WE NEED JAVELINS!!!  If not, then the NLAW/Storms will do 

[Cougar11]

All Blue infantry have STORMs 2 per unit.

[Asid]

Great mission

[assassin7]

Very good mission Cougar! well done

[Cougar11]

Thank you both. I hope the rest have as much praise in the campaign. I am really glad everyone enjoyed it, and it was intense. It had the desired affect, and everyone did well even when we were with our backs against the wall.

 

[RedWardancer]

I know it's just a game.  But when I send TOWs downrange...I MEAN BUSINESS!!!!   

Over the bird's nest, around the trees, through the chimneys...NOTHING BUT T-55!

Things got close and personal here.

Can anyone see those pesky enemy troops?
