Mission Summary :

A combined continent of UK and US forces strike into Basra to take back control of the city.

Map

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

1) SITUATION:

Iraq has erupted into sectarian violence and Basra has now become a stronghold for Shia forces, operating under the guidance of Muqtadar Al Sadr. British forces find themselves caught in the middle, trying to restore peace to Basra. This time British forces will be supported by US units from 2nd Armoured Division.

a) Enemy:
Shia forces, part of the Jaish Al Mahdi (Army of Madhi), are defending the city of Basra. They are heavily armed with AK47's, RPG-29's, PKM Machine guns, and have the ability to call for indirect fire with 81mm mortars. Madhi Army members are also patrolling the city with 12.7mm machine guns and recoiless rifles mounted on technical trucks. Additionally, the Mahdi Army has emplaced IED's along main roads and at key intersections within the neighbourhood.

b) Own:
Due to rapid development of the situation in the city we are pulling any available units. The task force will most likely be comprised of the following units:

2 platoons of tanks (M1A2s and Challengers)
2 platoon of Mechanised infantry
2x Scout units
1x M88 Combat Engineering Vehicle
1x M113 Ambulance
2x Supply Trucks

c) Attachments and detachments:

No fire support missions are available due to civilian in and outside the city


2) MISSION:

Attack to clear the city of Basra
 
3) EXECUTION:

Intent: Seize key terrain buildings within the city. 

4) TERRAIN AND WEATHER:

Hot weather and with clear skies.

I'm in...CR2 please :)

If we get a CO before we start then they can create a plan. That way we can start straight away.

Suggestions:

•   Engineering units to disarm I.E.D's
•   Overhead view (Double F8 to help inf in built up area)
•   Remove WP round from CR2

He has fulfilled the usual requirements. This will be his first Saturday DOW mission with us.

Make sure you are comfortable using your dismounts. They will be very important. There might be the possibility of the new overhead view (double F8).

You've got the Warrior, which has clunky fire control. It only has powered traverse, and that is so clunky that you'll be doing a good amount of hand cranking. Not only that, but the sight jerks up and to the right every time the main gun is fired. It also has no LRF.

Manning list updated. I wish you a good game!  8)
Thanks, and my name should be spelled "Rinix" in the manning list. ;)

I shot down two T-72A/M1 from Chellendger 2 and survived without injury. In total, we lost one Scimitar scout. The computer opponent.

There was a problem with this mission Lusik, infantry and technicals were disappearing, half of the infantry in the city disappeared without fighting. I think something was wrong with the spawning areas.

Thanks for the feedback. I will get rid of spawning areas if we replay it on another occasion. There were there in the original mission but I will use randomised units instead next time. I not a big fan of spawn areas myself anyway.

Yeah, they're great for civilian traffic but not so much for enemy units.
