100 grenadiers
100 snipers
50 light machine gunners

Armored Vehicles:
10 IFVs
15 MBTs
5 self-propelled artillery guns
10 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns

Aircraft:
5 multi-role fighters

Warships:
2 frigates

[Sgtsammac]

Prior to British Forces physically entering the territory or attacking. A P-3C Orion will be deployed to gather intel of locations of enemy forces and strong holds ready to identify accurate targets for Trident SLBM's.


(I would like to request some objectives be obtained from the observation aircraft, however this is your choice.)

[IcyNudibranch]

Your aircraft observe a large container being moved to the port at Punta del Este. It is being guarded by 10 riflemen, 2 snipers, and 5 light machine gunners, presumably special forces. Whatever is in this container is clearly of great importance. It is currently being loaded onto one of the frigates, though this could take some time.

Near the port is an airbase, where the 5 fighter jets are currently preparing for launch.

The remainder of the Uruguayan forces are arrayed throughout the port facilities and airbase in Punta del Este. The majority of these forces must be defeated before the Uruguayan government will surrender.

[Sgtsammac]

At sea 3 assault teams from the Royal Marine Commandos totalling - 12 L82A2 Riflemen, 6 L82A2 grenadiers, 3x L110A1 Light Machine Guns and 3 L19A1 Marksman. They will move silently up to the shore in RHIB Boats. They will attack the infantry guarding the container after disabling lights around it. On the deck of a CB90 patrol Boat operating in radio silence and blacked out is a sniper armed with an L96 using a thermal scope. He will assist in taking down the enemy guarding the container.



Futher out to sea a Vanguard Commander recieves his authorisation from the UK. A trident missile is readied and launched aiming to destroy the enemy airbase in Punta del Este.

The stealthed Astute class submarines are tasked with hunting and destroying the enemy frigates.

From the north of the city the Armoured Cavalry (Tank "battalion") of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards will roll down the highway aiming to charge the docks, with the Scimitar light tanks leading the way.

From sea all assault units of 45 Commando will assault the dock landing by air in helicopters and then from sea in CB90 Patrol Boats and RHIB Assault Boats.

[IcyNudibranch]

The marines quickly dispatch the guards with the loss of two UK riflemen. The Uruguayan IFV at the docks is now unmanned, but not destroyed.

All five fighters and the majority of the forces at the airbase are eliminated. The Uruguayans lose 2 MBTs, 4 IFVs, 30 riflemen, 20 light machine gunners, and 5 marksmen.

Both enemy frigates are quickly destroyed.

The Royals Scots Dragoons devastate the first wave of defenses at the docks, killing 2 Uruguayan MBTs, 3 IFVs, 52 Uruguayan riflemen, 23 grenadiers, and another 20 light machine gunners. However, the self-propelled artillery batteries and a patrol of 2 MBTs and 3 IFVs plus infantry assault the UK forces, killing 10 UK riflemen, 2 marksmen, 3 light machine gunners, a light tank, and damaging one MBT, which must be called back for repairs.

The remaining Uruguayan forces are radioed and told of the attack, and are moving towards the UK positions with armored vehicles leading the way.

[Sgtsammac]

The Echelon troop* moves forwards from its FOB whilst the armoured cavalry come to a halt forming a defensive position.

3 Tornado GR.4 Fighters are scrambled with orders to to engage the enemy artillery position. 3 More Tornados are. Given orders to engage the advancing enemy armoured column. From the FOB the Commando Artillery Battery start to shell the enemy forces but also fire a line of smoke shells to provide cover for the halted armoured regiment.

*Recovery vehicle and field repairs unit

[IcyNudibranch]

The combined air and ground assault finishes off the remaining Uruguayan forces at the loss of 1 MBT, 2 light tanks, 12 riflemen, 4 marksmen, and 13 light machine gunners. The Uruguayan president sends a message of surrender to the UK commanding officer.
