I want it too 😢

Hi All,
 
Quick update on Friday stuff since we have had a 2 week break.
 
Firstly Vietnam will return this Friday and continue for the next 3 to 4 weeks. Then, I have a 2 to 3 week story based set of missions, with some different mechanics than we are accustomed to but I think will make it interesting. Following this the CHADS will make their return in a new setting, to make some money while getting some payback for previous offenses against them.
 
More info will be revealed on these in the next few weeks.

Operation Evergreen
Mission Length
~2 hours

Situation
A soviet arms dealer, codenamed "Poseidon", has made his name by selling weapons to both soviet insurgency, middle eastern parties and has served as off-shore funding and arsenal by special forces in the Eastern Bloc. The CIA tracked every lead they could get their hands on and learned that he will be attending a business meeting regarding a big shipping operation in Albania. For this, we have dispatched a black ops unit to kidnap him and cease the operation by any means necessary. 
 
Friendly Forces
CIA Black OPs unit, Airborne Special Operations
x1 2-man Field Command (CMD, Medic)
x5 6-man Teams
x1 1-man Transport Air Crew
x1 3-man CAS/MEDIVAC Air Crew (Pilot, Crew Chief, Crew)
 
Enemy Forces
(Corrupt) Albanian Armed Forces, Combined Forces
- Motorised/Mechanized Infantry
- Suspected Armor
- Rotary Transport Aircraft
 
Independent Forces
(Corrupt) Albanian Police, Patrols & Checkpoints
 
Mission
We need to either intercept the soviet arms dealer in transit and interrogate him about the shipping operation OR track him to the site. Either way we need him alive. We know of an Albanian Lieutenant in the area with some information on the cargo and manifests, it would be nice to capture him as well. From there, it's search & destroy on the shipping operations.
 
Execution
At CMD's discretion.
"Poseidon" needs to be grabbed alive. He has most likely planned multiple escape routes, so swiftness and accuracy is of utmost importance. ROE is only fire if confirmed hostile. 
 
Command / Logistics
Overall command falls on CIA Operations Chief "Overlord". Operational command falls on CMD.
This is an off-the-book operation. We only want high value individuals (Lieutenants, chief of operations, drivers etc.), the rest is at CMD discretion.
 

We have been hard at work to create an exciting in-house game mode that is set to replace Liberation. It will feel familiar, but different in intriguing ways. Care to find out? Join us for the Grand Reveal this Friday!
 
Mission Length
~2 hours, with a chance to carry on open-ended

Situation
Russian airborne forces (VDV) have occupied the island of Malden. We have been deployed as a task force to secure a beachhead for further operations; however, initial supplies are limited. 
Resistance to the invasion is as yet undecided, since the take-over seems to have happened swiftly and softly. We must not let their favour slip away.
 
Friendly forces
British Armed Forces, Combined Arms, Task Force Platoon
1x 3-man HQ (CMD, RTO, UAV)
3x 9-man Rifle Squads
1x 3-man Fire Support Group
1x 3-man Vehicle Crew
2x 2-man Air Crew
1x 2-man Logistics  
 
Independent forces
-
 
Enemy forces
The Russian VDV is a highly organised, regular force suspected to have access to these assets:
Regular infantry
Motorised and mechanised transport
Armour
Rotary-wing aircraft
Fixed-wing aircraft
 
Reconnaissance has identified key locations serving as radio communications facilities to sabotage or capture. Reports of quick-response Forward Operating Bases as well as supply depots around the island are also coming in. 
 
Mission
Gain a foothold and fortify our FOB. Capture strategic objectives. Establish favourable relations with the local populace.
 
Execution
At CMD’s discretion.
Section cohesion is of utmost importance. The enemy outnumbers us greatly and will not hesitate to exploit gaps in our situational awareness.
Counter-attacks and a general resistance to our efforts will ask for quick shifts in our tactics.
 
Admin / Logistics
Reinforcements are unlimited and directed by CMD. Resupply is CMD’s prerogative.
Enemy prisoners of war (POW) are to be treated well and brought to base for questioning.
 
Command / Signal
Operations and ground control lie solely with the Platoon Commander. The RTO handles air traffic and can supplement communications.
Squad leaders are responsible for the operational effectiveness of their teams.

TEAMSPEAK MISSION BRIEFING FOR ALL PLAYERS WILL BEGIN AT 18:00 UTC ***Note time change due to daylight savings***
Expected Mission Length: 120+ minutes (may go over or under expected mission length)
 
Player Slots: 41 (3 Squads of 11, Vortex and a 4 man command element)
 
 
Situation
We have discovered the location of many POWs held by the NVA in the area. Command has ordered us to rescue these prisoners before they can be moved away. 

 
 
Assets:
2 x IH-1D Iroquois 
2 x UH-1C/M21
3 x A-7D Corsair II
1 x A-4E Skyhawk 
 
 
Friendly Forces:
US Armed Forces
 
Enemy Forces:
North Vietnamese Army
Viet Cong
 
Civilians:
Civilian presence to be expected, concentrated in built up areas and centred around villages.
 
Mission
Our mission is complicated by an AA battery on the same site as the POW camp, likely a deliberate move by the NVA to avoid airstrikes on that location. We will therefore have to send a ground assault to the area to evac the prisoners but there is the risk that the NVA will seek to move them if they realise what our goal is. TO this end we will be sending an advance force behind enemy lines to either secure the POWs and await evac or to prevent their movement. Meanwhile the main force will push North and secure the area.
 
 
Execution
Objectives:
Rescue the POWs
Do not allow the NVA to move the POWs out of the area.
Engage and destroy any enemy positions or infrastructure encountered
 
Movement Plan:
At Commanders discretion
 
Rules of Engagement:
Enemies may be engaged on sight based on current squad orders
Civilians are present in the area so collateral damage is to be kept to a minimum.

 

I had forgotten about diCaprio's terrible slaughter of my countryman's accent. Thanks for reminding me @Walk'N.

🤔😉
I'll add a second civ slot so that the reporter can have a camera man. Just need to find a suitable camera asset haha.
@Walk'N @Toasted_Bread_Slice slots are yours

Poor @JaSmAn. Though at least he can now already get nominated to win the "Friendliest Hostage" Award again this year😂

AhoyWorld is made by its players. We must recognise that our actions shape the community as a whole, and affect other people in particular.
 
AhoyWorld is a welcoming community that respects its members and visitors. We expect everyone to maintain this environment and will take action against those who jeopardise that community spirit.
 
Today, we removed a player who did not recognise this. In their actions, they deeply unsettled those involved and repeatedly crossed boundaries directly set by the other party. These boundaries become our own from the moment they are laid out. Now, we are laying them bare for everyone to abide by.
 
We are an inclusive community where everyone is treated as equal. Standing or length of stay do not absolve a member of the community from ignoring this fact.
 
We will not tolerate harassment of or indiscretion towards other members of the community.
 
If you see somebody cross personal boundaries, your voice matters. You can always bring any concern and fear of yours to our open ears as staff and people. You can always give the person involved a poke and ask if they are alright with the goings-on; it is better to ask than to ignore.
 
From all of us, thank you. Take care.

Johnson came to me about that ^^ 👍
 
hope so

Ahoy All!
 
I am eager to announce that together with Christiansen, Havoc & SiegeSix we are bringing several workshops to the Ahoyworld masses!
 
With the influx of new members and the absence of similar events we saw it fit to introduce a series of workshops that will help introduce some of the trickier content available on the modded servers, particularly AWE.
 
With these workshops we Intend to provide an introduction/refresher course on a series of subjects that you may encounter while playing with Ahoyworld. Our goal is to lower the bar of entry to these subjects and motivate you to play around with them more than you may already have. 
This will not be a hardcore boot camp training course but instead a fun and friendly environment to help you familiarise with the subjects we have planned thus far.
 
For now, we are still in the middle of crafting the workshops. Yet we would like to know which workshops pique your interest most. I therefore would like to ask you to head over to this poll and vote for the subject that you want to participate in.
 
Specific event dates will be announced in the future in the events subforum!
 
If you have any subjects you would like us to cover, get in contact with us or post it as a comment below this post!
