You're a machine gunner for the Rangers who's just been called to war. A colonel needs taken out by a certain deadline so you'll be doing a day raid deep behind enemy lines to get this guy. Skip to the combat area, You just got dropped off on the island and you're being briefed already. The Commander tells your squad your orders and is very strict with you to not to speak to each other unless its during combat chatter since you are a recon unit. First man to talk gets snitched on when you return back to camp and he will be dealt with accordingly. Another rule, never leave the squad. Punishment will be death. They fly you to the edge of the hot zone and fastrope your squad off and fly away from the forest surrounded by trees. You set out following your leader on a slow march. You're on patrol sneaking past enemy units, risking being spotted, and then all of a sudden its time to stop and set up camp. Your team leader takes you to a good spot and then each individual soldier does his duty. Some people put up a tent, one makes a fire, the others just kinda chill around it. A few guys sit around the campfire. Then one guy gets sniped in the head. You'd better return fire if you don't want to die next. One of the soldiers runs out there toward the sniper and steps on a landmine. BOOM. Your leader just camped you in a mine field. Then the enemy starts slowly over time revealing himself pumping lead at your squad and increasing in number. Obviously signaled by the sniper, he wasn't alone. They're taking long range shots pinning you down in the mine field. You're the machine gunner so you're trying to mow them down. You battle for a good minute or so and then it ends. You met patrol vs. patrol into an enemy ambush point. Looks like they know this land way better than you. The enemy has a good idea of your position, and thinks he knows where you're heading. Air recon on the strategic objective was too blurry from the U2, and fighter jets can't even get close to it with all that anti air and bad rain. You're Americas only hope. Air support won't be available till eyes on target is established. You've got to capture that area. When you have that recon assessment, radio in and the commander will do the rest is what your orders in your briefing read. The firefight stops, then in comes the artillery. BOOM, one lands. The radioman is on the horn talking about ya'll stepped into an ambush. If ya'll got injured he's calling in the medivac to airlift that guy out of there and fly in a replacement. Minutes later in comes a dustoff unit on the road, its friendly. You provide cover fire for your boy crawling to the chopper. They're taking him back to the forward base, looks like you boys got in too deep. The leader decides to hold position until the artillery stops. It's blowing up the landmines anyhow. Once the artillery stops you begin again in a spread out formation heading towards the objective. There's an important enemy colonel that must be killed and he's cornered into a city but he's well defended. This is his island and he ain't moving for jack. He's in a populated area though, so recon must be established. Will you make it past the mines, past the artillery, the enemy patrols, and get that recon info back to base?
I want to kind of mix the feeling of vietnam, with the machinery of the late eighties to midnineties, in a foresty environment, that has cities in it too. I know which addons to use but you guys got any island suggestions for a nice long campaign? I'd love to do the bosnian serb conflict.
