Hola this week we will be running a Vietnam Scenario

After the attack on Camp Hollaway in February which resulted in the death of 9 US servicemen and 128 wounded the 229th are temporarily based at Pleiku AFB. Now early June we are ready to start clearing the Vietcong from the immediate AO
Our first target is a logistics hub and training area for fresh recruits coming down the Ho Chi Minh  trail.

UH-1h slicks of the 229th AHB will lift US troops into an LZ close to the Ville at Tetra Tskaro some 28 miles SouthWest of Pleiku .
Uh-1h Gunships of D company along with Mayfly flight of Gazelles will provide protection and clear the chosen LZ of any enemy units.
Beware  multi barreled AAA and other large calibre weapons. latest intel shows an unknown quantity of .50 cal machine guns have made it into the south from Laos.

First Phase

* 2 ships are required to lift sling load ammo to FOB Bison and once this is achieved we can prep the LZ's with indirect fire.
* Elements of A and B Company will lift F Company 101st Airborne to a pre determined and pre prepped LZ F Company will provide the blocking force
* D Company will fly close support for the sling load ships and the slicks inserting F Company
* RTB for rearming (D) and loading up the next wave (A + B)

Second Phase

* A and B will lift E Company 101st Airborne to a pre determined and prepped LZ as the clearing force.
* D Company gunships will be free to engage targets of opportunity after the E/101 insertion.
* A and B company will RTB for 3rd lift of troops I/101 and will be dropped at unprepared LZ (AMC will designate LZ)

@ Gizzy can you please add this to your events page

Count me in, Cib! I could fill a slick or gunship role, as needed.

That'll be 3:00 PM EDT for those in my time zone.

Worth noting that until I get a new router, I'm liable to drop connection just long enough to get thrown from the server...

Will Join as slick!

IN, any slot..

I can see Cib has been stalking me around the web for a bit

Sorry can't find the like button

Sorry Chaps, I had to bail. I had a blinding headache, brought on I think by adjusting my Rift straps too tight! Thanks for the mission-time, sorry I couldn't cut it for the second sortie.

Thanks for setting up the mission, Cib. I had a good time.

Great turnout last night and I am sorry that The Almighty Snark was unable to get the mods organised in time and Razorback was stuck without SRS for some reason.
The general consensus was that it was an enjoyable night although the fact we could not restart the mission and had to run it without sling loading made for a slightly disorganised start.
I will tweak the mission with the feedback I received afterwards and we can rerun it next week.
Special thanks to Chic taking lead on what turned out to be quite a large chalk of slicks and getting us to our LZ's and home again. I know from experience leading a large gaggle, navigating and switching comms is very task intensive and takes huge levels of concentration. So well done brother
Comms where much better last night too as was the formation flying, pats on the back all round

I will do a quick edit of the stuff I captured. If anyone has any raw footage can you send it me and I'll do a montage.

Are you aware that the .TRK is always saved in MP so you can replay it again with the chance to record stuff you may have missed whilst flying check your saved games folder, also worth noting if you fly online a lot that folder can get very bloated

Oh I did not know that they were automatically saved. This is useful to know. I will check it out. Cheers Cib.
