Excerpts of the battalion commander's orders for... CG14 Plug The Zierow Gap 1) SITUATION: April 2003 8AM a) Enemy: Enemy Forces have forced their way through the Zierow Gap to the West using the only 2 major roads passing through the Gap - Routes 23 and 24. Being the Larger road Route 24 is likely to have more traffic entering your AO Other smaller routes are being untilised so not all enemy are on these routes. However their main force will use these roads in subsequent days Some units are already through and spreading out as a shield for following forces. Mainly T80 and some T90 with BMP3 support have been reported by Air Recon with a forward screen of Recon and Inf b) Own: All we have been able to scrape together is 2 x PLT Leo 2A6, 1 xPLT CV 90-40 (Inf and by some miracle we have rustled up some Javelins!). Another 1 x PLT of Leo 2A6 is en route c) Attachments and detachments: 1 x ARV, 1 x Ambulance, Supply, and 1 X 6 gun battery of fire support Command are going to try to airlift 2 x AT (TOW) teams in to your AO and will advise if available.These might be useful to protect vulnerable flanks. 2) MISSION: You need to Occupy the marked Objectives which are the road exits from the Zierow Gap - even if some enemy forces are bypassed to do so However only do so if you will not be engaged from the rear

1) SITUATION: 7AM 20 August 2010 Weather Clear a) Enemy: OPFOR have cut off sections of the front in confused fighting over the last week and isolated an important dump of non convential munitions. Their forces block the most direct routes back into our lines. Composition of enemy is likely to be T80 or T72 with a possibility of T90 given the mixed up nature of recent fighting Infantry support with BMP2 and possible Missile teams may also be present b) Own: Your Task Force was slipped through enemy lines yesterday and secured the Arms Dump. The warheads have been loaded onto 12 vehicles for transport into friendly lines. You have 3 x PLT M1A2(SEP) 3 x PLT M3 Bradley Scout, Logistics support plus 1 x UH60 with 1 x Inf Squad and 1x FO c) 1 x Battery of Indirect Fire Support is available 2) MISSION: You are to fight through the enemy cordon and we must evacuate at least half (6) of the trucks into either/both safe areas. There is no time limit 3) EXECUTION: The marked roues are not compulsory but Recon untis inserted yesterday confirm these are free of mines or IEDs Enemy forces are also present to either flank and are likley to be called upon as we break into the enemy positions - watch your flanks!

1) SITUATION: Aug 2001 Time 1600 Weather Rain steadily clearing a) Enemy: Enemy forces crossed the Albach 2 days ago and are consolidating their positions. Force consists of approx 3 Coy T72m4 and 2 Coy Inf with some BMP. As they have been in place for 2 days some prepared defences on major approaches to the river are to be expected with infantry and missile teams possible To the East of the Albach we have spotted another 2 Coy of Tanks which might move to resist our crossing b) Own: You have 2xCoy Leo2A5 and 1xCoy CV90NL A further 1xCoy of Leo 2A5 and 1xCoy of CV90 are struggling through refugee traffic to the rear and will join as soon as possible - hopefully by the time you are across PL Spear CV90 carry Inf and LMG although we have rounded up a few Dragon systems as well c) Attachments and detachments: You have a full suite of support and engineer assets You have Indirect Fire Support 3 x 6 tubes (HE,Smoke and ICM) 2) MISSION: You are to seize and hold river crossings over the Albach at Westrau and Oldeslohe. This will reverse the tactical situation and give us the opportunity for follow on forces to exploit into the enemy's vulnerable rear areas 3) EXECUTION: [Finally: The player's mission] Seize and hold river crossings at Westrau and Oldeslohe. a) Concept of Operation: Whilst you should initially take a measured approach to operations (at least until you have established where enemy main resistance is centered) enemy reinforcements may be sent if we become bogged down in prolonged operations. Minefields are likely as briefed above. Whilst you have Plow tanks and AEV support, initially seek to bypass these unless breaching them will assist your tactical operations. Suspected position of minefields are from incomplete reconnaisance and are not exhustive (Otherwise follow on forces will clear them)

1) SITUATION: a) Enemy: Enemy forces are holding Briarwood and Loperwood. A mixture of T80 with some T90 (estimated 1 Coy) with Mech Inf Support and Recon screen are in the area. Anticipate that enemy will have some limited indirect fire support b) Own: You have 1x PLT of M1, 1x PLT M2 and 1x Sec M3 for Recon . c)1 Battery of 6 tubes is available (HE/SMOKE/ICM) 2) MISSION: Seize and hold both Objectives 3)Weather: Raining and overcast with reduced visibility. Expected to improve within an hour 4)Date:Oct 2010 8AM

Part 2 of 2 1) SITUATION: Following our defeat of the Rebels and their 'Volunteer' support in the West of the Island we are now ready to move forward and complete the liberation of the Island. Enemy continue to land forces from their second wave at the port a) Enemy: Having disposed of the local forces we are now faced with clearing the more capable 'Volunteer' units which continue to disembark at Port Kyrounis. We understand that 3 companies of T72m4 of the enemy second wave have landed with accompanying infantry (estimated 3 to 4 Coy). Much of the infantry has been widely deployed on higher ground or covering likely avenues of approach to the port although a Coy strength is possibly BMP2 mounted. Given the size of the enemy Task Force it is likely 2 further Tank Coys have yet to be unloaded The remaining Separatist leaders are thought to be sheltering at the Port and no special attempt to capture them should be made. Again the enemy has limited Indirect Fire Support Air defences are thought to be in place around the port The situation is fluid in that as enemy forces deploy from the port area they are likely to be spreading out and can be expected to attack from a variety of directions. Therefore you should retain the ability to react to flank attacks FLASH UPDATE: Current drone recon shows latest ship to arrive at Port Kyrounis as having approx Coy strength T90 on deck. Scripted enemy

Part 1 of 2 Excerpts of the battalion commander's orders for... CG7 Island Liberation May 2018 4.00AM Visibility initially hazy but quickly burning off to 3000 m plus 1) SITUATION: Following the collapse of the mainland government, rebels have seized government military assets and declared independance. However the uprising lacks popular support being largely instigated by Russia who seeks a futher Mediterranean port. Whilst local rebel forces are equipped with T 62 and older equipment they have suddenly acquired a good number of more modern T 72, crewed and supported by 'volunteers'. A US led Taskforce has arrived off the Island with the intention of restoring Government control. A depth bridghead is to be created before additonal enemy forces can consolidate their hold on the Island a)Enemy: Whilst local rebel forces are equipped with T62 and older equipment they have suddenly acquired a good number of more modern T72m4 crewed and supported by 'volunteers'. The newer equipment is based in the Eastern side of the Island and may take a little time to deploy at least part of the force to our AO. Immediate opposition is expected to be the local breakway rebel forces and irregulars. Estimated the Rebel forces have approx 2 Coy T62, supported by up to a Coy of BMD with independant Infantry teams around the objectives and other built up areas. As this is a loosely organized Rebel force precise organisational details have been hard to come by Scriped enemy
