MISSION UPD ATED

This is a continuation of the Samson 1 storyline for the Kiowa with Captain Hal Holcombe and Lt. Chip Stannis – this mission will se t up the rescue of Pritchard and Narse, and the gathering of essential intelligence. Your aircraft have been delivered to the carrier group in the Black Sea that you are taking off from.

You will take off in inclement weather and wind from a naval force in the Black Sea using the Caucuses map.

This is a multiplayer mission with 3 choppers available, 2 Kiowas and an AH64D Apache.

Anvil 1 is armed with anti-aircraft missiles and the 50 cal gun

Anvil 1-1 is armed with laser guided rockets and anti-aircraft missiles

Anvil 1-2 is the Apache, with a mixed loadout of rockets and Hellfires.

An additional multiplayer component has been added – two F18 fighters that can be occupied and are tasked with air support. Additional enemy forces will be added if these aircraft are utilized, but the mission can only be completed by the rotary aircraft.

The main imperative is to reach FARP Goldenrod; if you can provide interdiction on suspected forces en route that would be optimal, but not necessary – the most important goal is to get to FARP Goldenrod so you can be in place once we have solid intel on the exact location of Pritchard and Narse.
The terrain will provide plenty of cover in the form of steep mountains and valleys if you do have to duck and run.

We also expect there to be essential intelligence on our enemies plans as well, but that will be coming in the next few days; additional forces are being gathered for a larger assault, and should be in place within 24 – 36 hours.

Anvil group will be the tip of the spear, and Wolverine will be moving into place for the next phase of the operation.

Mission success is your arrival at FARP Goldenrod.
