Summary

Intelligence has reported an enemy convoy preparing to supply enemy positions. You, as an RACS specop soldier, have been assigned to destroy a bridge in the middle of the convoy's way, forcing them to use a different path, which will make the main operation to destroy the convoy easier.

Overview

Short and descriptive overview text with quality images, sadly without a border. No mission title, but some neat advertising is present.

Intro

None.

Briefing

A huge array of weapons to select from allowing you to replay this mission with a completely different set of weapons. The map is well layed out and shows what has to be done. Combined with the objectives - the overall mission plan is clear. However, there are few details in the plan section. For example, what is the situation the RACS are in? Luckily, the lack of a proper and detailed story doesn't hurt the mission. The notes section contains author advertising and contact information. I prefer seeing this in the readme.

Mission

There is an ingame cutscene replacing the normal pre-briefing introduction of the mission. It is more or less interactive and gives two options to choose from. Going in alone or having a teammate to go with you. The SLA troops use HD weapons, resulting in longer firefights. It really adds to the mission, as there are bound to be a few of these long range firefights. Normally you would be toast in a matter of seconds, now you actually have a change to stay alive. Luckily the author hasn't overlooked the bridge objective. You won't need 5 satchels to blow a bridge section - that would be horrible. This mission can be considered one of moderate difficulty, especially the 2nd objective which can take a while thanks to good emplacement of machine guns and patrols. What I missed were some patrols out in the desert, usable vehicles and some weapons in the now empty ammo boxes.

Outro(s)

The aftermath of the mission is shown in good fashion. Several nice camera angles show that Rellikki spent some time crafting and finetuning the outro. However, the RACS movement could have been enhanced - their movement is somewhat disorderly.

Special

Voice acting and two promotion pictures included in the package.

Overall

An enjoyable, but rather simple mission especially if you like having a few great long distance firefight experiences. If you enjoy lone wolf missions, this is a mission you should download for half an hour of fun!
