Steel Beasts Saturday Mission 12/11/16 @ GMT19:00 - Bird Hunt

[Rinix]

Excerpts of the brigade commander's orders for 1st Recce Platoon, 8th INF:

1) SITUATION:
a) Enemy:
Two regiments of the 33rd Div (Mot), the 337th and 339th Guards, punched a hole in our defenses. They suffered heavy casualties, but are preparing to resume the attack. 337th Guards MRR is located to the south of 339th MRR. SIGINT has located the regimental HQ company of the 337th MRR as well as a forward artillery Fire Direction Center.. BDE S-2 calculates that a considerable gap exists between these two regiments.

b) Own:
8th INF withdrew to new defensive lines just west of your position. 1st Recce is located astride the boundary between the 339th MRR and 337th MRR.

c) Attachments and detachments: None.

2) MISSION:
Penetrate the gap between the 339th MRR and 337th MRR and destroy the 339th Headquarters elements. Upon completion all units will return to RP Zulu (NLT: 08:00).

3) EXECUTION:
Destroy the 339th's HQ elements and any targets of opportunity located in the designated target area. Try not to become decisively engaged prior to actions against the enemy HQ. When complete, retire to RP Zulu. Do not try to hold your penetration. Do not move east of PL Pooch.

Intent: By destroying the enemy HQ elements, BDE indents to disrupt the cohesion of its subunits in preparation for a local counter-attack.

a) Concept of Operation:
1st Plt will discretely penetrate the gap between the 337th and 339th MRRs using all available recce assets. Put eyes on target prior to engaging the HQ with indirect fires. When the HQ is in sight, use all means available to destroy anything with an antennae. Do not risk the destruction of your element for the objective of this mission.

i) Maneuver:
Move quickly to penetrate the gap between the 337th and 339th MRRs. Do not stray outside your boundaries. Do not cross PL Pooch or you are screwed. You are permitted to attack enemy units within your sector, however your ingress may be easier by stealthier means. The decision is yours; but the mission comes first and your people always.

ii) Fires:
Fires are limited for this operation. 3 tubes x 1 battery available. Do not fire artillery or CAS into the OBJ area without putting eyes on and identifying the target. Available round types: HE, Smoke, CAS (2 x 500lbs bombs).

iii) Additional assets:
None.

b) Tasks to Maneuver units:
None.

c) Tasks to Combat Support Units:
None.

d) COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS:
H-Hour: 06:30
Complete by: 08:00
Mission end if all operational 1A units return to RP Zulu (mission time > 15:00 minutes, delayed 5 seconds, not under direct fire)

5) COMMAND AND SIGNALS:
1/A Recce: Stiletto
8th INF, Commander: Blackjack
Delta Co: Dagger

Scoring:
-100 points for each Arty strike into OBJ without eyes on OBJ (up to -500)

This mission is NOT the usual D.O.W. immersive mission. Those will no longer be open to casual drop ins or people not fully part of D.O.W.

This is an open mission. Any questions then ask Rinix.

Notification for those who are unaware of the USA going off of Daylight Saving Time: the mission is up now.

Mission ended early due to widespread technical issues, ending with my computer locking up and requiring a hard reboot. But still, good game, and we made good progress. No AAR file was saved, but a .7z archive of screenshots has been uploaded to the TS server file browser. Thanks to forrester, Lusik, Cougar, and Short and Sweet for showing up.

I reboot my computer before each game.

No, I mean I had to reboot my computer because of the technical issues.

Thanks for organising the mission Rinix. Usually it's worth checking if your have your Steam disabled. I usually switch off other online services such has OneCloud and Creative Cloud.
