OPERATION BRITISH

Yes. That one.

by Fadi

TIME: Saturday, July 18 2015, 2100UTC

SITUATION:

     Following the breakout of war between the United States and Russian Federation, fighting between the two has slowed to a standstill. For the past two months, Russian and American troops have stared at each other on opposite sides of a valley in South Zagoria, Chernarus. Today will be the day. Elements from the 20th Guards Independent Motor-Rifle Brigade must break through the front line, supported by BMP-2D infantry fighting vehicles in order to capture the American held town of Lopatino.

MISSION NOTES:

     If you've never done a vehicle crew role before, don't be intimidated and know that it's super fun. A group of players by requirement working in far closer coordination than an infantry team to Do An Things. Watch this slightly older video for an excellent primer on the sorts of things you need to think about and the types of interactions you can expect as a crewman, and you'll be good. (I wouldn't recommend commanding if this is your first time as a crewman, but Gunner and Driver are totes fine.)

     For Driver specifically, the BMP-2 is a lot more fun than you might think. Visibility is pretty good, the thing is ridiculously fast, and you get to interact with the infantry you haul around. And they're not made of paper like the BMDs and armored cars, so that's a plus. Consider trying it out!

     This is a shorter mission and has revive but no respawn. We'll follow it up with some Insurgency or similar, something a little more freeform and relaxed.
