[EU3] Friday PMC OPs starting soon

[MidnightRunner]

So as we have only one week left in the Vietnam missions, it's probably about time I finally put up this post.

 

The next campaign, starting either the 17th or 24th April will be a PMC style campaign.

We will be playing as a small PMC outfit, in a modern setting, operating in contemporary conflict zones, completing various missions for different national and non national bodies.
The idea is that using the same modset (save for the map) we can complete operations in different theatres, on different continents using different gear against different enemies. It gives us a large scope for mission design and allows for the more small scale PMC style operations.

 

Needless to say we will not be seeking to engage in pitched battles with the enemy but will favour small unit tactics, emphasis will be on executing the task quickly and extracting before the enemy can fully mobilise against us.  

 

First Deployment Setting

We will first be starting in Afghanistan using equipment easily available in that area. Equipment will be mainly western in origin, with items from America, Britain, Belgium and others. While not limited to these items, they were the most accessible in this region. 

 

 

Modlist

The attached HTML is the current modlist. This is 99% confirmed but is still subject to change based on final testing.

As always if you have any questions, comments or suggestions let me know, happy to answer.

French gear?
 

something like "13hours" is planned?

Can we get a full modlist

EDIT: Nevermind I got the import working.

Btw, imo the trick is to look like you actually belong in Afghanistan, but obviously PMCs wear full military gear all the time:

Sounds spicy!

Any ideas about the roster yet?

[Minipily]

It isn't about fitting in.

 

 

 

 

 

It's about looking cool.

I can imagine it's gonna be the same as every other OP. 

8 man squads split into 2x4 man fireteams with a 2 man vortex and 3-4 man command element.

Not quite,

 

There will be a 3 man command element (Leader, Medic & ISR Operator) with 6 fire teams of 4 players and 3 Vortex slots. These fire teams are split into 3 layouts with there being 2 of each type:

1. TL, 2 X Rifleman, Engineer
2. TL,  2 X Rifleman, Medic
3. TL, Rifleman, Auto rifleman, Auto rifleman Assistant

OOoh, that's nice. That's gonna encourage (if not force) people to take on a leadership role

...with the added benefit of having more TL roles. Starting small and progressing from there as your experience grows is a good thing in my opinion.

If Chaddy is the way...
