Syria Campaign - Session Report

[Friar]

SESSION 1

REPORT

Despite the Red forces putting up consistent waves of defending aircraft, the blue air force managed to stem the tide which assisted the ground offence to make some ground.

Gaziantep which started out under Red control was re-captured and despite an attempt by Red forces to take it back (they managed to get a convoy very close to the airfield perimeter and were able to take out some of the NASAMS) it remains in Blue control. The ground team have worked hard and have managed to get one of the NASMA launchers operational again.

The Alpha FOB is back under Blue control after being briefly taken by a Red patrol.

The red held towns of Abu Talhah and Harim were targeted by helicopter and air strikes and have taken losses to their defenses but still need further attention before we can send in troops to capture them.

The key Red airfield of Aleppo suffered many hits but still remains fully operational and must be considered a key target for the next attack if Blue forces are to progress into Red territory.

Hatay remains the key front line airfield with flights of F4, F14, F16 and F18 being ferried there to be available for the next mission (see below)

SCORES

Fruitbat was the first pilot to hit 1000 points but was sadly killed on that "one last attack" so suffered a 10 point penalty.......

MISSION TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE

All players seemed to be reporting good frames (unlike previous attempts to run the mission  ) so it looks like my changes have been a good step forward. I have loaded the mission up on my machine this morning in order to grab the screen shots and it loaded with no problems so looking good for the next session.

Feedback regarding AI spawns was that it could be spaced a bit more so I will update the enemy spawn delay from between the current 5 to 8 minutes out to 5 to 15 minutes.

Many thanks to all those attended and I hope you enjoyed the experience.

Bravo Col! Great session, really enjoyed it thank you. Even if I did make a meal of it at the start. 😁

Really appreciate your expertise and persistence with this, and kudos to Kev and others who have offered additional assistance and testing.

Working together for a common goal across many different platforms really offers that extra dimension.

Aleppo gonna get it next week.
