Caucasus Campaign - Progress Update

[Friar]

Date: 22nd May 2025

Following good teamwork from myself, Blubear, Delta, Max and Fenrir we were able to take out Bravo SAM site and then subsequently capture Sochi airfield, despite the Red forces taking it back after we had initially made it neutral.

So we have now moved a little further up the coast.

The campaign continues to throw up different challenges each week and I would once again like to thank @wingflyr for the suggestion.

BluBear and I also managed to eliminate the "AmmonitionDepot" (sic) to the North of Sochi with some thoroughly enjoyable dumb bombing - though, it must be said, making dive bomb attacks with a fast jet into a fairly narrow valley with very steep slopes on either side provides for a few squeaky bum moments!

Update 29th May

Many thanks to all those that attended.

More ground was made up the coast from Sochi with the taking of the Bravo FARP.

After the session I downloaded the latest version of the mission which has added some new performance improvements and in mission features.

For example It is now possible to call up EWACS and get bogey information. The Red carrier fleet zone has also moved more off the coast at Sochi.

We briefly tested this new version and it does not effect our progress.

Thanks for keeping those that couldn't participate up to date. Looking forward to our Monday session 🫡

@wingflyr - Can we run two campaigns at the same time? I mean alternate weeks (to change the map and mix up the flying experience)?

Might be fun, could we explore cold war ish era scenario?

A Foothold campaign on the Germany map is being tested at the moment. Needs everyone to have the map of course....

That would be really fun! I prefer the era of primitive heat seeker and semi active radar guided missiles.

A mission with less long range SAM sites and more close range AAA would be very cool where the targets are moving convoys and tank columns

Yes Collin you can. It will auto save in the same Saves folder you have for the Caucuses foothold you have now. You can alternate between the two or three or more  if you wish.
