Prologue:

 

Background:

 

Billede1.thumb.png.48ec949306f8209f5be1ca1b7973424d.png

 

1.Situation.

                 a.Time: 171100ZSEP2018, Local time: 1300

b.Terrain: Wooded and patchy boggy terrain channel Armd manoeuver and provide concealed AT ambush sites.  Major water obstacles pre-dominate the area.  Heavily forested areas provide effective concealment.  A number of small villages are scattered throughout; the populations are most sympathetic to the Government, however, where the population is ethnic Russian, sympathies lie with that Government.  Major LOC limited to single routes north-south and east-west – see map.  Main City Šalčininkai, centre of Lithuanian Governance and security force base.
c.Weather: Sunny with little chance of rain , 15 degrees Celsius.  Visibility good out to 4km.  No impact on sensor capabilities. Sunrise/Sunset: 06:54/19:30 local time.
d.Vital Ground. Route BLUE – coordination points between R13-R15 & R14-R16 & Area FOX2.  Control of these areas provide good opportunity to mount ambush attacks against the convoy..  
e.Key Terrain. Villages at R19 & R22 must be SECURED to enable Convoy use of Route BLUE.
f.Situation Enemy Forces.
1.Russian backed insurgents, supported by Russian Special Operations Forces (SoF) are operating in up to Company size formations within TF-32 AO, particularly between Marijampolis south to Šalčininkai (see Ops Trace); strength undetermined.  They have succeeded in creating a chaotic environment and the rule of Law is disintegrating fast, overburdening the challenged Lithuanian security forces.  Fox 1 & 2 are villages known to be sympathetic towards the Insurgents aims.  The Insurgents appear to be well stocked with light infantry weapons including RPG´s and have also used IED´s to attack convoys and government patrols.  It is likely they also possess ATGM of Russian manufacture, type and number unknown.  Insurgent spotters likely to be used as identification of TF-32 Route of Advance and progress.  
g.Situation Friendly Forces. 
1.Lithuania has requested support through its bilateral arrangements with Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway.  TF-32, part of the UK Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) has been deployed early under the bilateral arrangements.  Russian Influence and support is suspected behind the deteriorating security situation and should actionable evidence be found of Russian overt involvement, it is likely Article V could be called by Lithuania and agreed by the NAC.  Should this occur, TF-32 will fall under command of COM JEF. Lithuanian authorities have tried to clear Route BLUE, and declared this is the route they want the Convoy to take.
2.Rules of Engagement.  
1.NOTHING IN ROE LIMITS YOUR RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND YOUR UNIT. 
2.You have the right to use force to defend yourself against attacks or clear threats of attack.
3.Hostile fire may be returned effectively and promptly to stop a hostile act.
4.If OWN forces or those under their protection are attacked, then minimum force should be used under the circumstances and proportional to the threat.
5.We are not at war and in an allied nation, uncalled for destruction of civilian property will not be accepted.

A Readers/players readlist

 

This Campaign relies heavily on a narrative, and probably more than is the norm. For those who want to experience everything in the proper and correct order, then this is the structure:

 

1. Prologue

2. Background Scenario 1

3. Orders Scenario 1

4. Scenario Session

5. Intermission 1 with AAR

6. Background Scenario 2

3. Orders Scenario 2

4. Scenario Session

5. Intermission 2 with AAR

Etc...

 

It will be finished with an Epilogue 

 

I strongly recommend all to read the PDF - as any internetpage generally is a poor medium for textediting.

 

I hope you will find this as fun as I and we had making it.

With regards to the Callsigns:

 

All IFV´s are CV9040-B

And they all have 1 x LMG Team (MG3), 1 x Rifle Squad (2 soldiers) and 1 x Rifle Squad (3 soldiers)

 

Intelligence does not expect contact with heavy ENY vehicles. Also from a political standpoint a light footprints is wanted...

 

Engineering Platoon

And they have M113G/Eng with an engineering group.

 

Medic

There is a platoon sergeant team with medic, so 1 x medic with plt sgt.

Hi there Ghostdog

 

We will be happy to take you on as Gunner, for now I have placed your name in the list, and we will sort out in which Tank you will be working. Looking forward to seeing you!

So we have almost all callsigns occupied: 

 

But DONT let that hold anyone back, we can doubleteam almost all callsigns. 

 

ALSO: Then we need someone to take control over our Engineers platoon, which is an important job for this scenario.

So... It looks like we are almost full. However do not let that stop you, as we can easily take on gunners and commanders, and there is plenty to do in this scenario...

 

IMPORTANT POINT:

 

If you havent played with us before, or if it is a while ago, then please contact either @Major duck or @Swordsmandk to help you set up your Teamspeak before the day of the session - thank you.
