Operation Red Mercury - New MP Mission

[104th_Maverick]

 

 

The 104th Phoenix proudly presents the first in a coming series of NEW MISSIONS being created for the dedicated server!

 

Operation Red Mercury

 

Mission Scenario:

Following the fall of the Rebellion led by General Lermontov the Georgian Government supported by a coalition of western powers is leading an offensive into Russia.

For failing to prosecute the members of Lermontov's organisation operating in Russia involved in trafficking Red Mercury for the purpose of making chemical weapons, U.S and Georgian forces have pushed North out of Georgia and currently occupy Nalchick and Mineral Nye Vody Airports.

This in turn led to a large scale aerial conflict lasting 3 days in which both sides suffered heavy losses.

 

Today, 2 weeks after the conflict began both sides have committed to a long and hard fight involving heavily armored convoys strategically placed in the Caucus Mountains in the hope of securing the range to mount a counter offensive.

 

Mission Brief (Simulation):

 

-Operation Red Mercury is a Medium scale air dominance mission, with both sides being separated by just 140 miles. This means bullseye is roughly 65nm or 6 mins flying time for both teams.

-Aerial refueling is available on both sides less than 10nm behind the primary Airbases of Maykop and Mineral V.

-Both sides have 5 Target Area's each to destroy all roughly the same distance and flight times for each team. TA's on both sides are complete with identical units, both blue and red ground vehicles are current and ex Russian stock. This means no side has an advantage in the level of armour deployed on the field.

-Both sides have identical SAM platforms to defend primary Airbases and strategic locations around the map.

-Operation Red Mercury is designed to be a completely neutral 50 / 50 fight with no side having any advantage in terms of hardware or location.

Nice! It will be very interesting to try it.

[FLANKERATOR]

Great effort Mave! On which servers you guys are planning to host it? will it be statistics covered like OPFOR?

[104th_Maverick]

will it be statistics covered like OPFOR?

 

Yes sir!

 

Both our new missions are currently being rotated on our Dedicated server which has been up and running now for a few days fully covered by stats at www.104thphoenix.com

 

Thanks for your kind words and to everyone who has joined the server recently to try Red Mercury and Carbon Coastline, we still plan to release 2 new missions in the coming weeks so watch this space!

 

Take care,

 

Mav

 

S!

Nice...

 

It seems a great Mission!

the 36° will be honored to fly this mission and the next!

[FLANKERATOR]

Great! thanks Mave for the heads up! I hope those missions would be the playground for an upcoming 3 hours OPFOR or red flag event.

Good work Maverick!

No F-14s, F-18s ? No VNAO support in 104s missions ?

[104th_Maverick]

No F-14s, F-18s ? No VNAO support in 104s missions ?

 

Not yet my friend... however watch this space!

 

I will be speaking to the 104th Command today about allocating some of our dedicated server time to the VNAO mod... only if there is a demand for it once its up and running. This will enable most users who experience lag in the Stallturn server to have a much better connection.

 

Although to be fair very recently as far as I am aware the Stallturn server connection was upgraded. It is still in NZ but it's now on a faster line so there should be much less issues with lag on Stallturn now for people not in the Southern Hemisphere

 

Hope your well mate

S!
