We love playing with you all, the arranger and CO loves you even more if you sign up in advance 😁 Operation COLD CALL by Apocalypse A US piece-meal Company attacks an enemy-held airfield. I. Situation An enemy Mechanized Infantry Battalion is established in a defense around the Benmir airport. Our scouts have identified enemy recon forces operating just beyond Phase Line ALPHA, and several platoon battle positions along Phase Line BRAVO. Enemy recon patrols are extremely aggressive and our scouts were forced to retrograde, so enemy dispositions beyond the phase line BRAVO are relatively unknown but we anticipate mechanized infantry battle positions supported by tanks in a layered defense around the airfield. We also anticipate the enemy to emplace minefield obstacle belts to support their defense, as well as protection from MANPADs and artillery. Our force is relatively small, and a piece-meal composition of scattered units across the Battalion. The Division commander is pushing an aggressive timeline for seizure of the Benmir airfield to support airlift of critical supplies into the AO. We're out of time and must attack now. II. Mission Attack to seize OBJ BULL to allow friendly forces additional tactical infrastructure to support future offensive operations III. Execution Attack now, and attack with what you have. Additional reinforcements may arrive when or if they can. You have support from 2x transportation aircraft, and elements from B CO (light infantry), but beware of the SAM threat in the AO. Your attack will be supported with organic 120mm mortars and a battery of 155mm guns. IV. Service & Support Your company is fully supplied, and is being supported by HQ resupply assets (fuel/ammo) A FARP has been established to the south by G CO, and can be moved at any time. V. Command & Signal Friendly ID: On Map Contacts: Enabled Commanders Guidance: 1. You don't have much to attack with, certainly not as much as you'd like - but sometimes that life! 2. Do recon - locate the enemy and determine their composition - formulate your attack and don't attack blindly. 3. Take your time - Dont rush. Designate march objectives - seize terrain that you think is relevant and consolidate your forces. Rinse and Repeat.

Strategic map: Tactical Maps: ________________ Operation Ragnarok Phase II 7´th of June 2023 SB Mission by Nike-Ajax Scenario notes: 1) For a number of reasons, then there are NO smoke missions on either side for server stability. Also for server stability, all destroyed callsigns will be removed after 60 sec. For same reason there is no clouds. 2) This is a TWO part scenario, so BLUEFOR/Aesir will ONLY advance to Phase Line Aesir in the first session. In the second BLUEFOR will advance to, and make a bridge crossing of the river Boevra, and then fight to seize the ENY HQ. 3) This will simulate a BGD BG attack. For server stability then it is simulated that BGD CO will coordinate the attack in the other AO to match the progress of BLUEFOR in the chosen AO, hence the BLUEFOR CO only has to worry about staying within his boundaries. And winning. 4) This is meant and built to be run by a Human OPFOR 0. Background The battle has begun: All across the worlds the fighting rages. The Gods are barely holding on and many have fallen. Voelven´s prophecy are coming close to the truth: 51. O'er the sea from the east | there sails a ship With the people of Muspell, | at the helm stands Loki; After the wolf | do wild men follow, And with them the brother | of Byleist goes. 52. Surt fares from the south | with the scourge of branches, The sun of the battle-gods | shone from his sword; The crags are sundered, | the giant-women sink, The dead throng Hel-way, | and heaven is cloven. 53. Now comes to Hlin | yet another hurt, When Othin fares | to fight with the wolf, And Beli's fair slayer | seeks out Surt, For there must fall | the joy of Frigg. 54. Then comes Sigfather's | mighty son, Vithar, to fight | with the foaming wolf; In the giant's son | does he thrust his sword Full to the heart: | his father is avenged. 55. Hither there comes | the son of Hlothyn, The bright snake gapes | to heaven above; . . . . . . . . . . Against the serpent | goes Othin's son. But not all is lost. In middleearth, the forces of good are holding their own despite heavy losses, fighting wars they think is of their own making. Maybe Ragnarök can be stopped or delayed after all ? I. Situation Time: 0300 Local Time Weather: Clear skies with no chance of rain, 23 degrees Centigrade, wind speed 5 m/s from NE and LOS 3500 Meters General We have attacked through the initial enemy forces in Jotunheimen, and fought our way up to near the the river Boevra to our north. We had to stop to rearm and reorganize due to heavy losses, particularly in the western AO, where their Tank forces was hit harder than yours. From this position we will continue the attack, securing and then crossing the river, to enable us to carry our offensive further north. The initial battle was successful, but hard fought. And we expect this to no easier. Our strategic objective is to ATTACK the ENY to the Northeast with a BGD BG, making an opposed river crossing aimed at and after the crossing, destroying the ENY HQ. The Enemy have had their initial strong defenses broken and breached by our forces, but we know that they have a secondary obstacle area north of the river built up for months if not years. Which in line with our last operation, will be used to strengthen their defenses. And will likely hide behind them and try to inflict as many casualties as they can from there (Reference Map trace). Once you have reached Phase line Baldur, you will halt and CONSOLIDATE and then remain and DEFEND in place. Thus setting the parameters for the break out operation to advance and expand further North and East and force the Enemy into a more mobile type of warfare which suits us better. Due to our heavy losses, then what remained of the MECHINF and Recon forces that was used in the previous operation have been pulled back for rearmament, reconsolidation and repair. You have instead been allocated a full new MECHINF COY as well as a PLT of RECON. The TNK PLTs have been repaired, rearmed and casualties replaced. But as outlined, then the other BG to your West was hit hard, so we do not have any more reinforcements beyond that. We therefore do not have as many forces as we wanted. But not only are our forces limited, due to the state of lack of worship of the old Gods on Middleearth. But the attack which you took part in was only one of many. And there are more to come. So you will have to make do with what you have. Do NOT push past boundaries EAST or WEST or risk being attacked and destroyed from your flanks, because as in your previous operation other forces will attack coordinated by BGD CMD alongside your attack. Terrain: Mixture of closed and open, with channeling and blocking terrain features particularly to the South and Southwest, opening up as you push further North. Also there are a number of natural obstacles in the form of rivers, lakes and other watercourses. Biggest terrain feature is the River Boevra and the hills to the north of it which commands the river. Second biggest is the tributary river of the Boevra which runs North to south and divides the NE part of your AO Obstacles: The Enemy expected us to come and have made numerous obstacles and defenses. Although we broken through their first defensive line, then we expect a secondary - and from Intel last - one to the north of the river. This includes Minefields, from Intel both real and decoy, Abatis in many of the wooded areas, Czech hedgehogs and tank trenches. You do not have to clear these for follow-on forces, but you will probably be forced to breach some minefield regardless to keep lines of communication open, your rear safe and create openings in the ENYs defense. So do what you must to push through, bypassing if necessary. But you have significant ENG assets (2 x reinforced ENG PLT), so clear all obstacles that threaten your advance, flanks OR line of communications. Current Situation. The Enemy is on the DEFENSE with slightly inferior numbers, but we have the better equipment, training and to some degree the element of tactical surprise if not Strategic. They have used the time well to entrench themselves thoroughly. We are on their soil, and even though that means the risk of civilians in the AO, then stakes are high. Therefore, you are tasked to avoid civilian casualties to the degree that it does not endanger your command or overall goals. FIRES in the Urban areas are only authorized by TF COMD (Try to avoid it, if the tactical situation allows it) The majority of the ENY forces have consolidated and reinforced to the NORTH of the Boevra River Enemy Forces Strength: ENY Combined Btn(-). Equipment: At least one (1) Company with M1A1 (in PLTs of 4), One (1) Company mixed with Ulans and Centauros (in PLTs of 4). Added to which 2-3 platoons of dismounted infantry including ATGMs and a Recon element likely with BRDM 2s. Finally likely at least 1 PLT of SP MTR and CSS/HQ ENY Artillery expected in SIGNIFICANT volume. Quality: Likely experienced warriors so regulars. And they WILL be expected to fight to the death, because the stakes are as high for them as for us. MDA: ENY in PREPARED DEFENSE in Main Defensive Areas (MDA), constructed defenses, entrenchments, bunkers and major obstacles highly likely (Reference Maptrace), confidence about which is HIGH. Reinforcement: NOT expected from the East, West or South as their lines of communication are cut for now and they have taken substantial losses across the tactical and strategic AO. Confidence HIGH. ENY ENG have been spotted placing what seems to be demolition charges on the bridges over the river Boevra, and are expected to blow them as we push North. Confidence HIGH. Estimated placement of ENY HQ plotted on map (Reference Map Trace), confidence MEDIUM. ENY CoA: Likely will seek to delay and attrit our forces, using the terrain and prepared defenses to disrupt, delay and destroy our forces. Likely will also seek to engage our forces in limited local and small counterattacks or ambushes. And/or channel and lead our forces into killzones where they can use their AT weapons including ATGMs, and use of terrain, to make up for their relative weakness in equipment and training. Majority of ENY units seem to have been pulled North of the River BOEVRA. But expected light and Recon units south of the River Boevra in PLT (+) size. Likely the ENY will blow most if not all bridges over the Rive Boevra, to delay and channel our forces. ENY have access to Artillery in substantial numbers, exact units deployed for this operation unknown. Friendly Forces (FF). Local AIR SUPERIORITY achieved, but ENY Rotary Wing units can not be discounted in the AO. Flanks. FF East and West to SECURE Flanks, but not to Spt Attack apart from the forces that will attack in the AO, under direct control and coordination by BGD CMD. FF WEST will make a supporting attack to tie ENY forces down, and attrit them if possible. TF GUNGNIR: TF in Deployment Area consists of 4 x tank platoons of STRV122, 1 x RECON PLT (PIRANHA V w. OWS LEMUR 2013, PILAR and AVEPS), 2 x PLT ENG (w. 2 x KODIAK, 1 x M113G3 ENG MICLIC, 1 x BIBER bridgelayer and 2 x GTK Boxer ENG) as well as 4 x Mechanized Infantry Platoon´s of CV90/40-B. Plus Command elements. There are also 3 x 3 Biber mobile bridges, meant for the crossing of the River Boevra to the north. Also there have been allocated a two (2) SP MTR PLTs platoons with integral Supply. Finally there is an extra CMD element, so 2 x STRV122 and 2 x CV90/40-B. TF GUNGNIR Dismounted infantry equipped with 2 x Anti-Tank teams (FGM-148 Javelin) (Odds callsigns) and 2 x LMG Teams (Even callsigns). Each MECHINF platoon thus has 2x Anti-Tank teams and 2 x LMG Teams, the rest being issued with AT-4s and rifle grenades plus a medic team, and are all considered Elite. The Recon INF are equipped with JIM-LR and their vehicles with UAV Quadcopters. There are NO reinforcements beyond this. FIRES: 4 x 6 Tubes of 155mm SP howitzers, no FASCAM or SMOKE available, but with ICM. (With the howitzers being further back, so off-map) 2 x 6 x 120 mm SP mortars with their own supply trucks 12 CAS strike missions on call. 1 x MLRS Strike package (NO reloads) (As usual: ALL ARTILLERY IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF CO AND FO: So do NOT touch the ARTY controls if you not one of these two). Also try to avoid using FIRES in Urban areas. LOGISTICS: In TF GUNGNIR: Repair Sect, 1 x Supply, 1 x Fueler and 1 x MED Sect, plus one more PLT same setup minus the fuler PLUS two (2) x 1 ARV section with 1 x ARV and 1 x Repair Sect. 2 x Engr PLT, as there are expected major prepared obstacles in vector of attack. But you may BYPASS ENY obstacles, if prudent and necessary given the tactical environment. Rules of Engagement. NOTHING IN THESE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT LIMITS YOUR RIGHT TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND YOUR UNIT. A. You have the right to use force to proactively engage any and all ENY targets of opportunity. B. You are cleared to fire first on all hostile targets or targets with deemed hostile intent, including armed civilians. Anyone armed are deemed hostile. C. The force should be used under the circumstances and proportional to the threat. D. We are at war. Destruction of civilian property has been cleared by the local authorities if CO deems that there is a military value and goal in said destruction, buy FIRES in urban areas should be avoided if possible unless there is a risk to the commands units or integrity. E. No Quarters asked and none given... II. Mission: TF GUNGNIR is to ATTACK and CONDUCT EXPLOITATION, DESTROYING the ENY between FLOT and Phase Line BALDUR, CROSS the river Boevra and SEIZE the terrain, IOT DENY the area to the ENY. III. Execution Concept of the Operation: TF GUNGNIR, ATTACK from SOUTHWEST to NORTHEAST; conducting an attack by fire from FLOT towards PL BALDUR (See Map trace), crossing the River Boevra and clearing the route with regards to obstacles as tactically dictated. As part of the attack, locate and DESTROY the ENY HQ. Once SECURE, PREPARE HASTY Defence to HOLD PL BALDUR line until relieved. This will DENY the area to the ENY and PREVENT further ENY offensive operations, achieving our immediate military goal, while setting the conditions for next phase so the breakout attack from Phase Line Baldur and destruction of the ENY HQ. Commanders Intent Purpose - The purpose of this operation is to CROSS the River Boevra, DESTROY the ENY forces in the AO, then OCCUPY, thus weakening the Enemys will to fight and persuading them not to conduct further offensive actions until we are ready to carry out Follow-on offensive operations.

We have friendly forces to our EAST and WEST that will push forward and support our attack. Do not cross the COY GP boundaries reference Map trace, to avoid risk of Friendly Fire. Our COY GP consists of 4x tank platoons as well as 2x mechanized infantry platoon, along with a PLT of Centauros and a PLT of NZLAV in tactical reserve. This consists of a Swedish Company (Bravo COY) of 2 x PLT of STRV 122 and 2 PLT of CV9040-B, reinforced by 2 x PLT M1A2 (SEP) (Alpha COY). One PLT of CV90/40-B have been detached from Bravo COY to ALPHA COY. We have been augmented with 2 x 4 tubes of 155mm howitzers (with the howitzers being further back, so off-map), as well as support assets from Hotel Company (repair/rearm, and medical). Our dismount infantry is equipped with light machine guns (FN MAGs) and Anti-Tank teams ( 2 x Spike & 2 x CG). Each platoon thus has 4x LMG teams and 4x Anti-Tank teams plus a medicteam. II.

We love playing with you all, the arranger and CO loves you even more if you sign up in advance Operation Sledgehammer Scenario by Apocalypse Story by Nike-Ajax I. Situation For years there have been tensions between Greece and Turkey, but the tensions have always been suppressed and glossed over by NATO and to a lesser degree by the EU for strategic, political and economic reasons. But that does not mean that the Greeks have ever forgiven The Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, and the two countries have routinely had skirmishes and clashes on and over the Aegean sea. NATO has similarly routinely turned a blind eye to Turkish repression of Kurds and the Armenian Genocide, and EU has done the same in the vain hope that the European popular votes would allow an integration of Turkey into EU. This has never materialized, and in anger and frustration Turkey has increasingly turned to Russia for aid and strength. Despite a few clashes , including shooting down of each others combat aircraft, then these ties have grown stronger and more firm recently. Primarily because both countries benefits from it. As the Syrian Civil war wound down, the Turkish military increased the pressure and attacks on the Kurdish positions in the north of Syria and South East Turkey with mixed results militarily. These operations combined with the continued crackdown on all dissent internally, has had the political outcome that both NATO and EU found it neccesary to distance themselves from Turkey who became more isolated. This in turn increased the ties with Russia and alienated Turkey even more from Europe. Finally Turkey three months ago took the step of formally leaving NATO and the day after signed a document of peace, cooperation and defence with Russia. In the time since that, then tensions that were previously held back and subdued, have now increased again. Internal dissent while repressed, have in the meantime increased in Turkey. In a move that somewhat brings memories of the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, Turkey decided to invade one of the islands that have been disputed for years. In part to assert their dominance of the eastern Aegean, and in part probably to create internal cohesion against a common enemy. It is rumored that the Russian have been promised by Turkey, the rights to build a naval- and airbase on the island in exchange for continued material and political support. The invasion was largely unopposed and the Turkish forces quickly seized the Island with the use of heavy bombardements from the air and sea. In an unforseen and tragic event, a strike mission hit the wrong target and struck a holiday resort where 6 Swedish and Italian high school classes were on a vacation and study tour, with numerous casualties and wounded. Sweden and Italy are enraged and demanded immediate access to provide aid and help to their citizens, which in the general turmoil was denied. It was thus unknown how many of the Swedish and Italian youths are still alive and in what condition they are in. Russia supported by China have used their Veto´s to block all attempts of condemning Turkey, let alone create a UN led intervention. Turkey have declared that they provided all the care they could for the wounded and have since released the bodies of the deceased and many wounded. But as Turkey still refuse any international observers on the Island, it is unknow if all Swedish and Italian citizens have been released. Greece have in the meanwhile invoked Article 5 of the NATO charter, but NATO has been reluctant to directly declare war on Turkey for a number of reasons. And Sweden - not being a member of NATO - have thus seeked other bilateral solutions in cooperation with Italy who is a member of NATO. This have now coalesced into a Peace Creating force, which are going to strike the Island in the next hours, led by American forces and with small Italian and Swedish contingents. USA along with the rest of NATO have declared an exclusion zone around the area in an effort to contain the conflict and deny Turkey more reinforcements. The Turkish have erected two barriers across the islands, but these are more for controlling the area and anti-COIN, than any real obstacle, and should be passable with care by all the TF´s Callsigns. In preparation of the landings American, Italian and Swedish planes, including from the US 6th Fleet, have struck the areas around LZ Dragon and LZ Gorilla, which means that there is a high confidence that the initial landing operation will be unopposed. At any rate then the Coalition forces hold Air Control and thus dominate the Airspace around the Island. The air units have destroyed a number of Turkish units, estimated at TNK COY size, the hulks of which now litter the areas between the Landing Zones and the FLET as indicated per map trace, where SIGINT estimates that the ENY have withdrawn to. We still expect the Turks to have around BTN sized assets remaining in the AO including TNK, ATGM and IFV, as well as a limited number of SP ARTY. Expect heavy resistance, the Turkish soldiers are veterans and have their backs against the sea. II.

I've noticed that the wheeled vehicles in SB feel really slow, even slower than most tracked MBTs. I did a quick test run to confirm my suspicions, and it seems I was right. The test drive took place on a road, starting with a slight uphill followed by a gentle downwards slope. Looks like wheeled vehicles really are a lot slower than tracked ones. This doesn't make much sense to me, as Centauro has a listed top road speed of 106 km/h, while the Aslav has 120 km/h. This lack of mobility sort of beats the point of taking a wheeled vehicle in the first place - you'll just be better off in a MBT in every scenario. Am I missing something here or is there an issue with the engine models in SB? Test results below, I listed the top speed of each vehicle during both path segments. Leo2a5: uphill 55 km/h, downhill 71 km/h M1a2: uphill 50 km/h, downhill 66 km/h Centauro: uphill 45 km/h, downhill 58 km/h Aslav-25: uphill 45 km/h, downhill 57 km/h
