Squad Leader Archive

Alliance intelligence has located an Imperial installation somewhere approximately 4.5 km SE of Coronet. They believe this installation to be heavily armed. Our scout, Ranger Rick, has successfully located the camp and confirmed AllInt's data. He reports that the installation has several small turrets, and is staffed by no fewer than twelve (12)Stormtroopers, and possibly has up to six (6) AT-ST mechanized attackvehicles.

AllInt feels that this installation is intended to be a forward base for a larger body of Imperial soldiers to use as a foothold on Corellia, and that this should be discouraged.I have forwarded the data from both AllInt and our own sources toAlliance HQ. Though we are not equipped for a full-scaleassault on this base,HQ feels that it isvital to slowdown the development of this base,untilmoreAlliance forces can be brought in to take it out completely.

Razorcats, we have been asked to do what damage we can to this Installation at minimal risk to ourselves. I have made a proposal to HQ, which has been approved, for the following action.

Mission Objectives:

Our goal will be to deprive this base as many of its costliest assets as possible, the turrets and AT-STs.

Primary Objective: Destroy AT-STs
Secondary Objectives: Eliminate Stormtroopers, Destroy Base Turrets, Destroy or Capture Base.

Mission Data:

Waypoints have been fowarded to you from Ranger Rick. ObjectiveOMEGA is the Installation itself. Waypoints ALPHA, BETA, and GAMMA are each located 200 meters out at different vectors from the base, SouthWest, SouthEast, and South, respectively.Each have some ground cover. This should be far enough back, as the imperials haven't yet established a perimeter around the base.

Personnel:

RED TEAM will be a commando unit: Kuril, Uvra, Penter, Wintha, and Istel. Carbineer/Medic Riva andCombat Medic Eci will provide cover and medical support. Squad Leader Tegg will lead.

BLUE TEAM will be a second commando unit: Hirosan, Jun, Pelgrin, Lum, and Vik. Rifleman/Medic Irochii and Combat Medic Venris will provide cover and medical support. Squad Leader Acita will lead.

GOLD TEAM will be a light attack team consisting of Riflemen Spegger (TKA), Kuralis (Swordsman), and Jora (Pikeman); Carbineers Yuki (Fencer), Argo (TKA), andQueltrona (Swordsman); Doctor Hesh; and Creature Handlers Grisha and Conrad. Squad Leader Torvo will lead.

Mission Plan:

RED TEAM will procede to ALPHA, BLUE TEAM to BETA, and GOLD TEAM to GAMMA.

At my command, Torvo will lead GOLD TEAM (in Defensive Stance) to maximum rifle/carbine range from the nearest mobile units at the base, but out of turret range, and initiate harrying fire (/groupattack). Bleed shots are preferred. After firing a maximum of two shots per person, the squad will /ceasefire, and withdraw back to the South at a /forcedmarch, attempting to stay ahead of (hopefully) pursuing Stormtroopers and/or AT-STs. The objective of GOLD TEAM will be to draw the mobile Imperial Units between the two flanking RED and BLUE teams that have set up approximately 100m apart. GOLD TEAM's creatures should be holding some 75m further SOUTH.

Once the tergets are properly in position between RED and BLUE TEAMS, GOLD TEAM creature handlers will call their creatures in, and the TeamMelee Personell will turn and fightto pin down the enemy mobiles as best possible.

RED and BLUE TEAMS will/holdfire until the targets have reached that point.Ideally, the targets will be so focused on GOLD TEAM, that they will fail to recognize the threat before it is on them. Atmy command, Tegg and Acita will issue a /groupattack order to their units at the nearest AT-ST to their respective positions. Those providing coverfire should quickly targetenemy personnel and issueknockdown, posture change, or other crippling shots they have available. We want to keep all enemies within the firing range of all threeteams.

RED and BLUE team support staff will be in defensive stance, and set back far enough to remain out of the range of AT-ST cannons. RED and BLUE TEAM commandos will be in offensive stance.

With proper medical support and coordinated fire, we should be able to take out a number of AT-STs.

Secondary Objectives:

If all goes better than planned, and the AT-STs aredestroyed before too many friendly casualties are inflicted, we will procede toelimate the Stormtrooper personnel, and succeeding in that, todestroy the turrets and destroy/capture the base itself.

Exit strategy:

Should we find ourselves outgunned and the Primary Objective unattainable, I will call an organized withdrawl.GOLD TEAM will break off first.Special attacks from RED andBLUE teams to cripple or slow down the enemy will be appreciated. Once GOLD TEAM has withdrawn, RED and BLUE teams willwithdraw. All TEAMS should stay together at a /forcedmarch, but head off in different directions.Ranger Rick, who will be monitoringthe combat channels, will then select a place for a rendezvous, and set up a camp for us. He will send waypoints toeachsoldier, though only TEAM leaders will likely need to check it, as all combatants should be /following theirleader.If aTEAM or individual soldier is being tracked by imperials, they should delay returning to the rendezvous until an appropriate "welcome" can be arranged. Just lead them on a merry chase for a while, please.

Should survivors make it back to base without being followed, we'll debrief... but first... /smokemifyougotem
