Disturbing the Peace PT.4 - The Show Must Go On

[SITREP]

After successfully beating back the antagonist insurgency from the village south of Arobster earlier this week, a few things have been made clear to Spearfish. For one, Bandit is reliable. More practically however, a friendly paramilitary group called the "Iraq Pro-American Militia" [IPAM], has taken control of the village and is now working with army logistics to keep it secure, this new insurgency situation will not slow down the invasion but it has effected friendly supply routes, the insurgents while mostly forming organically are being propped up by Ba'athist in Syria and are being used as a cover for the shattered Republican Guard and VIPs to escape west, due to the uncertain nature of these insurgents we can assume there will be infighting within areas currently occupied by insurgent forces. The towns of Arobster and Afsher are currently under hostile insurgent occupation by the "Iraq Tribal Fighters" [ITF]. The ITF is using their position to disrupt friendly supply and offer a secure passage for government forces. Additionally, it seems that some members of the Republican Guard have opted to join the ITF, strengthening their already decent position.

Spearfish has decided to clean up this supply route and act as something of a rear guard to the advancing forces, and after the smashing success earlier this week, Bandit has been asked to be the ground team.

You did Langley proud, keep up the good work. Ghost

[Brief]

Scouting efforts both by Spearfish and Bandit have revealed that the ITF appears to be setting up to hold out as long as possible, centralizing their forces on "Arobster Central Base" and recently even trying to claim "Arobster East Base". Over the last 40 hours, the ITF has become increasingly coordinated and capable, including being observed setting up mines in marked locations, responding to threats in a more organized manner. Bandit is tasked with breaking the ITF's position at Arobster Central Base, Arobster East Base, Afsher Supply Hub, and Arobster Fuel Depot or Arobster Power Plant. Additionally, Bandit must neutralize the 82mm threat in the area, and get confirmation that routed Republican Guard are moving through the area. Spearfish is operating in a near by area, and is willing to lend 82mm fire support on map markers.

[Notes] I have updated the squad comp to be more inline with a more realistic supply economy (replaced one of the GLs in both squads with an AR). I have added RPG26s to the spawn arsenal and in the Ural storage, hopefully letting LAT feel more comfortable taking HE rounds. I have tried to update the ammo and medical inventory again to be more hot join friendly. due to the mod pack update, Republican Guard is represented by the 3cb Takistan National a Army. I will be using more LAMBS AI controls in this mission which I suspect will slow down the advance of the players quiet a bit, however if that is not the case, expect very heavy contact. in my play testing, the BMP very consistently gets critically damaged, I am placing this warning here to avoid doing the DM thing of taking away an asset just cuz its making things too easy for the players, if people like the BMP, please be careful with it.
