JANXOL Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Date: 26.04.2020 16:30 UTC Expected mission length: 120+ min (might be over or under) Act 2 - Might of the Bear Part 9 As the front settled after the failed Altian counter-offensive, new arguments erupt in high command. There are those who take the side of the troops, who understand that nothing more could be done, that the attack was a foolish idea in the first place. There are also those who refuse to accept this reality, who blame the frontline commanders for failing to execute their ambitious plans, who refuse to accept that Russian forces are still too strong to push against. Regardless, a Russian drone hub was eliminated and intel was collected by Altian military - a victory of its own and about as much as could reasonably be accomplished. As Altian troops fall back from the attempted counter-push, the frontline stabilizes. As days pass, it remains quiet. The Russians are holding their position and it appears that they are content for now. It is unknown at this time whether they are awaiting reinforcements from the mainland or for the Malden force to take the island and support the Altis invasion. For the time being it looks like the situation on Malden is much worse than on Altis. The Russians are pushing relentlessly with general Izhutin determined to end the invasion and start dealing with Altis. Despite a non-escalation policy of US forces, USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier is being dispatched into the Mediterranean to conduct operations in the area of Altis archipelago. Time will tell if the Russians won't consider it reason enough for committing greater forces and escalating this "proxy" war. Situation on Altis seems stable for now, though the silence in the south is only part of the worry. There is also silence in the north, as Freedom forces are still electing not to act. Whatever their plan is, they are playing the longer game. As Altian intelligence gets to work on decoding intelligence recovered from the drone hub, they also report that some information was uncovered regarding Freedom and their attempt to access Gatekeeper's classified files. It appears that they were attempting to access data of Gatekeeper's WRDD (Weapons Research and Development Division) related to an experimental weapon codenamed "The Thor's Hammer". What the weapon is and what Freedom wants with it remains unknown... The Assets Player faction: Altian armed forces Player slots: 30 - PLATCO - 4 man command element + BRDM-2UM command vehicle - 3 Infantry Squads - Alpha, Bravo, Charlie - 8-man each - Vortex - 2-man helicopter pilot team (pilot and co-pilot) - Mi-8 and UH-60 transport helicopters - 1x BRDM-2 - Various wheeled support vehicles The mission This is a routine operation. You will visit several villages, deliver humanitarian supplies to the civlians and make sure the area is secure. Investigate any possible leads regarding insurgent presence and act accordingly to neutralize threats. As the insurgents were not only terrorizing civilians but also spreading their propaganda, we can't be sure whether soem of them are secretly supporting the insurgency.
