1. Situation: The Taliban have started to regain a foothold in Sangin Province, Afghanistan. A Company, 13th MEU, has deployed to Sangin province and is to relieve British 3 Para, currently stationed at FOB Jackson.

2. Own Probable Mission: 1Plt. has been tasked to neutralise the Taliban threat in the Sangin Province and continue improving relations witht the ANR and ANP. The British made good progress and civilians are mostly friendly towards NATO ISAF forces.

3. Own Main Effort: Our section is to conduct a raid on the Taliban drug factory, objective Turtle. CAS is on station, but due to the proximity to Sangin North, Warlord 1 won't be able to destroy the facility until the compound is cleared and the target is marked with red smoke. The British Army Air Corps are on standby to provide support with 2 AH-64 gunships to clear the compound. The Apaches have been called to support 2 LANCS in Helmand Province, 29 Commando regiment have been tasked to assist us with artillery support. We will then patrol through Sangin North, as enemy activity has been reported in this area. The patrol will move up towards FOB Jackson to relieve 3 Para.

4. Enemy Forces: The Taliban have an estimated strength of 10 inside the Drug Facility and intel has shown there to be patrols outside the compound walls:



Unknown Strength elsewhere.

Be aware of IED threats:




5. Friendly Forces:
Falcon2-6 CAS
19 Commando Regiment Artillery support
ANR/ANP Forces stationed at FOB Cola
British 3 Para stationed at FOB Jackson.

Sweet! Requesting to be machinegunner

Updated with mods

am downloading the last 2 mods needed now the biggest ones ofcourse after that im set for the afghan mod

When my @afghan is uploaded I will add some instructions

I'll be Rifleman (M136), if that position hasn't been taken!

I will devote myself to the medic system then. slightly familair with it already anyway gimme an M16 with an acog for those ranges

lets hope u learn it good

Updated with info on who's carrying extra stuff

hey death, just a quick question. I don't know how much we'll emphasize on this IED thing but there's no engineer/EOD member in our squad to deal with those, how will we handle IEDs?

I was just wondering that. IEDs only exlode when more than 2 people are within 15m of it.

How can I enable certain units to disarm it?

take a look at this http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=18266

Cool, will have a go in the morning. Or we could jusmove past the IEDsin 2s.

Some IEDs will be duds. (Or will they? :p )

I'll take the Grenadier

aw endrane is left out of choice

okay I've turned on ACE medical system in some of my own missions playing as medic and not as medic, here's what I've found out.

- people can bandage light wounds themselves
- higher intensity wounds need to be bandaged by somebody else, but this doesn't necesarily need to be a medic.
- a medic can give a shot of epinephrine if a soldier has passed out due to bloodloss, doing this while the wounds are still untreated is quite dumb ofcourse. Real life side effects of epinephrine that I know of, like tachycardia ((excesively) high heart rate) and tremor that could have bad influence on combat capability do not seem to occur. untreated unconsiousness combined with bleeding will result in death.
- a medic can also administer a shot of morphine, this will reduce the pain and thus reduce the soldiers moaning, it also seems to improve his aiming capacity. side effects like dizyness, sleepiness and lack of situational awareness do not occur here either.
- a medic can then use a medkit on the soldier to patch him up to best of his ability, this takes time, and is reduced in effectiveness everytime it is applied. there is only so much patching up you can do to a human body. Even when fully treated the health will not be the same as when the game was started.
-a MASH tent or a vehicle marked "ambulance" can be used to heal a soldier back to full health. To do so, simply get close enough and bring a friend ( doesn't have to be medic ) then have the friendly select heal

mission makers notes:

- in the modules section ( F7 ) you can actually dictate wich soldiers can use what medical supplies. from the point that you need a medic to do anything but bandaging. to the point where you do not need a medic at all and give all the treatment yourself or other soldiers. You can also dictate if the medkit actually heals to full health or not. making the ambulance vehicle redundant.

In real life, plasma is being used to treat critical loss of blood and spalks are being used to treat broken/injured limbs. I have never had to need to use either though, I did some looking around on the forums and only found things like "Those items are unused and do nothing. " be aware that most of such posts are old, and things may have changed. but so far I didn't had a need for them, you can cut down the numbers of plasma's and spalks for other medical equipment like bandages, epi/morph and/or medkits, or combat supplies.

Okay, I can probably remove some stuff like plasma the. I thonk I have set it for medics to be quite important

2nd MG gunner! Gimme 2nd MG gunner! MG gunneeeeeeer!

Added youuuuu

Just for everyones info, we no longer have Apache support, but 19 Commando will offer artillery support on the drug factory.

Woop, it's going to be alot of fun with all of us teamed up to kick some butt

So, how does this weekend sound for everyone?

Saturday is fine for me, but I can probably just be about for around an hour depending on how little Evie is :p.

always working on saturdaynight, or it must be earlier, like 1800 or something, how about sunday afternoon or friday evening?

friday evening might be better for the americans

Saturday 1800 would be fine for me also

Working friday evening 17.00-20.00, but I can probably join after 23.00
