Major duck Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Warning Order: Velcome to UKAs new Campaign Ystad Landings http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Campaign+Ystad+Landings+&iso=20160306T19&p1=%3A&ah=2&am=45 One Nordic BG (1xDK MECH BTN(+),1xSWE ARM BTN) will defend against Warsaw Pact forces (1 TANK REG(+)) landing in Ystad and trying to linkup with Russian forces attacking down from Norrköping. This will run the first Sunday of each month. The first mission will be a recon meeting engagement which will be different from most of the others that will follow! The outcome of each battle will decide start positions and which forces you as a CO will have available. OPFOR will get a 3 to 1 advantage. The CO of both sides will receive a scenario file with only their side so they can do planning and map recon. From the second mission the Forces will be entirely decided by the CO of each team. We will need a Blue CO for the first mission asap (He will not be the CO for the whole campaign). We will need a CO and a small group of OPFORs to control the Red Forces Further stuff like rules and TO & E on this link: http://ukarmor.do-forum.com/t114-campaign-ystad-landing-sunday-6th-march#240 Best regards Swordsmandk and Major Ducks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordsmandk Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 yes - there is 2 plt of heavy recon for blue and for the opfor there is plenty of vehicles.So just state blue or red. (this is a blue vs red but with emphasis on blue.1. Gonna be a 4 plt (picked by blue co) vs 12plt red (picked by red co)2. Of course if anyone wants to play red they are welcome but blue slots will have priority hopefully (since thats what we been doing since december:clin:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major duck Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 That is 8 units in 1st platoon? Give a star if i counted right Yes but that's because we have removed the PLT COs extra Command Merc 240 he and the PLT SG normally lead a section each from the 2 Leos, then 3rd in command leads the M113 with a INF squad, and lastly there are the Mortars, and of course the 4 Recon Mercs work in a buddy pairing mostly with cover from the Tanks(IRL they have 9) . So pretty much the smallest unit with all arms. This places a big responsibility on the PLT CO and PLT SG which both often work separated to cover for either pair of Mercs or for the INF ! Any chance of previewing the map?
