Mission Summary : 

 

Short history:
Recent elections in Eesti have futher made it clear that their new Goverment is agaisnt Russian influence. They are planning of cancelling many of the contracts between countries and this has caused a rather agressive reaction from Russia. They are arranging a huge wargame basically next to Eesti border, massing their forces as show of their cababilities. This caused a huge concern in Eesti and Goverment is apparently unwilling at this time to futher provoke Russia and has chosen not to respond in kind.  Instead they have send a warning order to all reserves giving them instructions where and how to proceed would a call to arms be sounded. However they are telling that this is just a wargame and show of force and that there is nothing to be concerned about. Meanwhile NATO has send warning to Eesti that Russia is actually planning to attack. Eesti gruggingly agreed to allow more NATO forces to be moved  to Eesti but denied arrangement of wargames or deployment of forces.

 

TF Kanium was assigned to move into NARVA region with task to wait until futher orders.  

 

Just now - We received message that there has been multible Explosions in Russian Embassies at Eesti.
    -> TF-Kanium is ordered to move to border and take defensive positions
 
1) SITUATION: 

 

Enemy Regiment of Russian forces have moved into, and are occupying the other side of border of Narva region. The enemy has strengthened their forces constantly and indirectly threatened Eesti with war. Recently, Russian forces started and huge wargame training just next to border, and it is still going. Enemy is known to patrol along border, and having moved heavy armor to border as response of TF Kanium in NARVA. 
 
a) Enemy: 
    Estimated to consist of Reinforced motorized BMP-3 battalion plus,  and additional Tank battalion ready to exploit success.  (T72b1 - b3). Enemy has established rotary wing landing / maintenance area for training purposes east of Narva.   
 
 
b) Own: 
    TF Kanium mixed company from US forces in Eesti and support from NATO. Includes:  M1A2 Seps (2 plt), Leopard 2A6s (1 plt), CV9040-B (2plt). company of each type.  (Available at the beginning others are in transit)

    Section of Apaches and 2x UAV-Camcopter (S-100). 2x  M113-FOs.  Ambulance x2, Recovery x2, Engineering x2 and supply units x5 (1 allocated to mortar section)

    3x 6 tube off map indirect batteries available with unlimited HE and Smoke, ICM is limited to 30 rounds. Mortar section 2x (2 tubes each)  CV90 Mölnir attached with Stricks rounds. 
 
 
2) MISSION: 

 

 In case if Russian forces will attack - Defend area of Narva and aim to stop their advance to area of Narva. For NATO to have time to intervene before Eesti is lost.  
 
 
3) EXECUTION:  
 
 Intent:  TF Kanium will guard and defend sector slowing and aiming to stop enemy attack to area of Narva. By keeping them under fire and causing heavy enough damage for their advance to stop. 

 

 

 

RULES:

- Main road from south east to narva and from crosroads to south Narva must be kept open for civial traffict unless war begins. FOR NOW, COUNTRIES ARE IN POLITICAL CONFLICT, NOT IN WAR. Narva is evacuated, and movement is limited but there still is some movement between countries and its directed on these roads.

- Minefields are to be placed on fields or forest to funnel / restrict enemy movement, not on roads or build up areas.

- Blue is to avoid opening fire at all cost. Last thing what Eesti goverment wants is war with Russia.

 

1 In case of unallowed crossing of border. Blue is to take screenshots for evidence. To try all means of pushing / guiding intruder back to where it / they came from
2 In Unclear situation in border, blue CO is to use best of his common sense, in order to avoid deeper crise than the countries are already facing.

   - If previous doesn't work blue is allowed to fire warning shots. NOTE these must be clearly away from intruder / enemy, prefetably to sky and away of Russian soil.

   - IF THERE IS CLEAR HARD EVIDENCE OF RUSSIAN ASSAULT / INVASION. BLUE IS TO DEFEND NARVA, AND USE OF LETHAL FORCE IS ALLOWED IN EESTI SIDE OF BORDER. (TRIGGER 5 - Permission to open fire)  

 

- 2 of any 4 IEDs can be used once trigger 5 is activated, to slow down enemy advance. 

- Airsupport 2x Apatches can be called if or when russian assault is detected. (trigger 6 - Call air support)

 

NOTE - Both sides use UAVs, but for identification purposes  Blue uses Camcopter  and Red uses Fixed wing (old type)

For anyone interested to CO, especially for new guys. This looks harder than it is.  We have really good platoon leaders, and this terrain favors defender. 

While enemy size is formittable, there are only small number of possible avenues that will channel enemy mainforces to playsible kill zones.  

 

Also I can help forming a plan.  I have already made opfor plan and I will stick to what I already have regardless what course Kanium TC Chooses.
