Ops: Winter Storm - Mission 3 of 3 - COUNTERATTACK
by Nike-Ajax
 
 
1. SITUATION  
 
 a. Enemy.

Remaining Motor Rifle BDE from the 9th Brigade have consolidated their gains and taken up hasty defence to our EAST.  
 
Eny BDE has managed despite again taking almost impossibly heavy casualties, to secure the area to the EAST of OBJ SISU.

 

In this position they still threaten our Air base to the north. We belive that they, if given time will consolidate and reinforce and push West and North both threatening our Airbase as well as our HQ to the West.

 

They as a consequeence of the heavy losses we have inflicted in the last two battles, still held back in the Hunttula Forrest by Jaegers from F COy with heavy arty support and using minefields.

 

We estimate that the ENY BTG to our East have been replenished to full strength, using the last reserves of the reinforced BDE. Drones and satelite intel confirms thats NO fresh units are on their way beyond that.

 

The ENY in other words have no more reinforcements in this sector.

Moreover it seems that the ENY overall command have been somewhat paralyzed due to the heavy losses they have incurred in such short time, so in total it is expected that the ENY will NOT attack until they have been reinforced, which means that they also tactically are inactive for now.

 

Special forces are still in place to our EAST and report that ENY has reinforced and consolidated their HQ in ZZ1 with a large number of supply and command vehicles.

 

We have heard unconfirmed rumours that they have taken civilian hostages at the ENY HQ to ensure we do not strike them with INDIRECT.

 

MCOA for the ENY appears to defend in place awaiting replacements and reinforcements, in HASTY defence.

 

 But still with a risk of localized counterattacks.

 

Our Recon seemed to indicate ENY Engineers working to the NORTH of OBJ SISU, thus indicating a risk of surface laid minefields there. But otherwise they have not had time to dig in yet.

 

Intel confirms they are composed of T-72B3 tanks and BMP-2/BTR-82 mixed. They are supported by BDE assets, including strong AA of which some are SA19. So much like the forces you have already met and destroyed.

 

ENY have taken up a Defensive position along the FLET, in preparation for the reinforcement that they somehow hope will arrive.

 

Strong ENY Artillery expected in the AO.

 

Air Warning Red  !!!

 
b. Friendly.

 

Our Mechanized Battlegroup is to ATTACK and DESTROY ENY HQ, and in the process continue to attrit ENY BTG. Additional reserves are ready to our WEST (2 x TNK (LEO2A4) and  1x Mech plt).

 

    - B TNK COY (100%strength), 3 x PLT plus CMD
    - D COY (Mech) (100% strength), 3 x PLT plus CMD,               Spike+NLAW combo (only small drones for inf PLTs)
    - Papa units
    - 2 x Romeo Section (2 x Recon BMP-2)
    - ECHO units (6 x Biber)
    - Hotel Units (AD, CSS, 1 UAV active, 1 UAV in reserve (on trigger) and HQ)
    - 1 x PLT MECHINF from F COY to the West  (on trigger)
    - 2 x PLT TNK Leopard 2A4 from G COY to the West (on trigger).
    - Your indirect package have been upgraded
 
2. MISSION  
 
BG will COUNTERATTACK EAST to DESTROY the ENY HQ and supply centre.  
 
3. EXECUTION  
 
a. Purpose.

 

The purpose of this operation is to DESTROY the ENY, thus removing the options for further advance as well as securing the Airfield to our North, as well as opening for the possibility of a total ENY collapse in this sector.

 

Avoid decisive losses, BUT this is a high priority mission and HQ are willing to incur losses if it can not be avoided to reach the goals.
 
b. Key Tasks  

 

 1. Attack from West to EAST, destroying the ENY as you progress, and CLEARING the ENY HQ and supply node.
 2. Protect your flanks as you push East, but you do NOT need to clear the AO of every ENY unit.
 3. Do NOT get fixed
 4. Use bibers to make bridge crossings as needed
 5. A full Counterattack have been authorized by COs command and judgement, but do not risk the integrity of his command or the other tasks.
 
c. End State  
 
Key task completed. ENY HQ and supply node destroyed. Own forces able to execute follow-up attacks to clear the entire AO to the East.
 
d. Fires  

 

1x AMOS PLT 2 x 3 tubes (with limited STRIX)
2 x BTY 4  x 3 tubes K1 Thunder 155mm
1 x 2 MLRS (NO reloads)

 

>>>NOTES:<<<<

 

1. Your artillery can be killed!
3. You can NOT strike the ENY HQ with indirect - because there is a risk of friendly hostages. You MUST get eyes on first with OWN units - UAV is not enough.
4. STRIX are only to be used for verified targets!
5. BMS is on reflecting on modern units and BMS systems
7. Drones can be used in the entire AO.
8. Be careful of ENY AA - indicated range is a guesstimate and will change when and if ENY pushes AA assets forward.

9. OBSERVE: Bridges marked B1 and B2 are INTACT, due to the fact that the CO of the last engagement kept his composure and did NOT give the order to detonate. All other bridges are expected to be down to the East. (game techical: they will explode at the beginning to simulate already having been blown)

[Gibsonm]

I think I can complete the Trifecta.

 

I can probably also be the Engr commander - if no one else wants it.

 

 

[Major duck]

B23 for Conn and B21 for me please

MD

[TSe419E]

B13, please.

[Lumituisku]

I cannot promise anything as I am about to return from UK day before and am still sick with cold plus weird occasional stinging flank pain I'm am going to Doctor for on Monday. But if I can I'll try to participate. 

 

Also Harry's Sick too and may not be around either. 

[Connaugh]

B23, to confirm

Perfect and thank you, will slot you for it until CO reveals a possible alternate plan.

[Badger]

B12, please.

Get better both of you - we will be happy to have you both if you feel like it, and understand 100% if you cant.

[Leon Portier]

I want a Leopard.

[Legodude9]

Hello, I just want to make the notice that I am new to Steal Beasts, so feel free to deny or make recommendations to me but I was wondering if it's still available but R3/R4 (Recon) if anyone else has selected it I'd like to either be the non-leader vehicle or a gunner for the vehicle if able.

 

Sorry if I'm jumping the gun or requesting slots badly

I have learned the BMP-2 mostly as the gunner I just need to learn the ATGM system (which I'll be learning tomorrow) and the TC postion I know and have used (in my opinion, it is similar to the T-72's TC postion).

Sorry for the silly long message.🙇‍♂️😅

Thank you

I can provide my Discord ID if that in the mean time, would provide an easier channel of communication up to the event.

Los will take b3 PL and b31 unless anyone else wants to be PL

You are certainly more than welcome, and I would be happy to have you:

But this is a more static scenario, so less stressful for me. So maybe your efforts would be more needed and appreciated in D2 or R4 ?

But whatever you feel like is fine !
 

[Nike-Ajax]

Hello everyone

Manning is shaping up: But obviously we still have more seats all around.

And above all we need a CO

I have faith in Ya´ll 😁

[chrisreb]

Then where holes need filling assuming I can get there

[SamTheSlav]

Could I fill the Bravo 32 slot?
