[Sgtsammac]

A P-3C Orion flys over the battlefield, shutting down its left outer (#1) engine to improve visibility and operating time. It will use its multitude of sensors to target and track naval and ground forces.


The Eurofighter Typhoons will make their task to engage and destroy the enemy MiG-29's with support from surface ships including the Dragon Class destroyers.

The missile ships and Enforcer class vessels will target and engage the enemy ships whilst the crew manning smaller weapons (20mm, .50 cal, 7.62 and 5.56 mg's) will target enemy frogmen.

The 19 CB90 patrol boats and LCVP Mk.5 Landing Craft will carry 45 Commando assure where they will charge en-masse using force, power and numbers as well as avaliable cover and the terrain to their advantages as they charge the enemy forces, fighting through every building and every alleyway with vehicles providing cover when and where they can.

The AT Platoons will target enemy armour whilst the Mortar Platoons and Artillery Battery will set up away from the main assault and provide targetted support with the assistance of portable battlefield radars and obeservation aircraft. Troops carrying AT/AA will target and engage enemy helicopters and attack aircraft.


Panvia Tornado GR.4's will provide fast strikes on enemy armour.

[Lé Badger]

Typhoons accomplishes their tasks but they lose 2 of them. All MiG-29s are downed.

The missiles of the ships prove effective. All 3 frigates are down. Only 5 frogmen manage to survive the incoming fire, although they are all captured before they could even dare to attack.

Panavias succesfully kill off 2 T-80s, 3 BTRs and 4 Osas.

AT Platoons manage to kill off 5 T-80s, 6 BTRs, 2 Osas.

Your infantry tactics are quite succesful as you manage to kill 30 standard-issue troopers, 10 snipers, 11 grenadiers, 7 HMGs, 2 ATs. You lose 8 standard-issue troopers, 3 grenadiers and 1 sniper homever.

[Sgtsammac]

The infantry will continue their push, A second P-3C takes to the sky and is tasked with specifically targetting the enemy HQ for Artillery and air strikes.

CB90's will patrol up the canal providing support against shore targets.

6 L96A1 Snipers will take to the sky aboard a trio (3) of Lynx helicopters. They will take advantage of the birdseye view to take out enemies from above.

[Lé Badger]

The Orions trace the battlefield, but one of them are downed by the SAMs. The other one manages to escape from the missiles.

As the ground forces continue their push, they are now trapped in their HQ. This is their remaining force:

[Sgtsammac]

RP: A MERT team is quickly deployed to the crash site along with engineers to do what they can to recover bodies and the the wreckage.


The artillery battery and missile carrying ships open fire on the enemy HQ with Tornado GR.4's attacking any troops left in the open whilst 45 Commando forms a perimeter cutting off and ambushing any survivors.

[Lé Badger]

Enemy force is completely eliminated, Panama is all yours.
