Title: D.O.W. Saturday Mission 16-5-15 TF Hawk 4-7 CAV DOW Campaign Phase VI
Post by: Cougar11 on May 08, 2015, 08:18:11 PM
Here is the start. Mission post will come later.

Intel Brief from HAVOC 6: Russian forces have been forced out of the area. NATO forces sent a recon force to the city in an attempt to gauge enemy operations in the city and surrounding area. The unit has not been heard from after a short few radio calls for quick reaction forces, CAS, and medical support. Flights over have not been able to reach the area due to radar anti-air threats.
It is believed that Russian forces are attempting to seize the area as a Russian interest due to the pro Russian population, which claims they have been oppressed by Greek forces. The size of Russian forces moving into the area are of battalion size, with anti-air, air mobile infantry with ground attack capabilities, mechanized infantry, recon, and armor. Pro Russian forces are unconventional, with limited armored fighting vehicles of cold war era. It is possible they will use terrorist tactics as well. It is believed Russian or pro Russian forces hold the city of Loki, and the surrounding schools, factories, and smaller towns.
Pro Greek units in the area with limited armored, mechanized, recon, infantry, and anti-air vehicles are prepared to move into the area. They will be leading the initial push into the area, and will be moving units to objective towns, factories, schools, the city of Loki, and the surrounding areas. They will attempt to secure all objectives, and provide advanced recon for NATO forces that will follow.
TF Hawk consist of four companies of armor, recon, mechanized infantry, air mobile infantry/missile teams, air attack aircraft, support, and artillery. TF Hawk is to support Pro Greek forces in their attempt to secure objectives, eliminate anti-Greek forces, and destroy or expel all Russian forces from the area. NATO forces are limited in Artillery options in populated areas due to neutral civilian population in the area, industry, and to limit destruction for recovery after hostilities. All units will have to identify their targets as to not kill allied forces, and civilian population. We do not need Pro Greek becoming Pro Russian. As well as we do not need any unnecessary civilian deaths. TF commander will need to use the assets at hand to deal with the support of Pro Greek forces, and to accomplish NATO objectives.

Date of mission will change depending on completion of manning roster. Please post your intent for one of the units below. Once someone has taken a unit, additional people will not be a sub unit till all platoons have at least one person in them, or the CO opens it up based on his command structure.

Some screenshots from mission.

Leopard saw mouse on a road and thought that it was civilian. It tried hastily to avoid hitting it and accidentally drove off the road into river.
Second leopard was driving too close of first one and followed after this into river, noticing too late that there was no road under it.
Third one, stayed on river bench and was like. WTF dudes, circling around and wondering should it go swinging as well. - However scared of mad Lumi it decided to continue previous mission rather than to go summer swimming on cooling water.
- On this screenshot you can see recovery attempt, as these leopards were not waterproof, and therefore going swimming is not recommended for tanks
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_00_40_48_zps142onvun.jpg)
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_00_41_05_zpsbbhl53uo.jpg)

Next time, who ever is recruiting infantry, make sure that those are taught to use hand weapons and rifles as well. These two even when on good position, laying on ground got nailed by a single rebel.
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_16_38_zpscwknggie.jpg)

Also it appears that these dudes were just simply lazy... best thing they seemed to do is to take good position and just relax while sunbathing and looking trough optics

or crouching inside house, like this mouse
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_29_11_zpszcddxyvd.jpg)

Well, sometimes I did get them to move.. but it was rare sight.. certainly worth of screenshot
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_33_19_zpsnqady3iz.jpg)
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_33_58_zps9qtmqvpx.jpg)

Supricingly they were most fast to come inside vehicle. I wonder why that is?
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_42_01_zpsarclkmnf.jpg)

Oh wait, I know. They just wanted to do more needle work.
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_48_45_zpsnjetodyt.jpg)

Seriously... dudes?
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_48_50_zpsiozhvekx.jpg)

Nice shoes btw
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_48_54_zpsxjsyvjr3.jpg)

And yeah, since lazy infantry men's didn't do their job well enough't Redwardancer had to be driving with Wisent ARV back and fort all the time.
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_46_12_zpsbwqshx6m.jpg)

Other than troubles with scaredy cats and needle workers. Pizarros proved to be nice place to sit in.

(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_49_19_zpsgrin87vi.jpg)

I'm not saying that leopards would not be. This last kitten proved to be more worthy than those others.
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_52_20_zpsh2jnbhml.jpg)

And it had sharp eyes too...
(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/Beastmasters137/SS_01_51_04_zpslj8xtbtw.jpg)

Redwardancer seemed to prefer Leos as well. Kitten noticed him cruising back and fort seeking for those poor rebels to his claws.
