Insurrection II — [A New Day, pt. 3] — Mission Briefing

The Major points to him, "Yes, you, what is your question?" he asks.

[SWAT One]

Petir takes a step forward.  "As a pilot, sir, how does the PCAS or other resources threaten possible air surveillance by the militia.  I came to possess a Felix through my late father, Major Dmitri Ivchenko."

"As you may already know, civilian flight restrictions are tight.  In order to avoid radar detection you must fly map of the earth.  PCAS is not much of a threat to airborne targets, you must look out for surface to air missiles and other anti-air weaponry.  Anyone else?"

[SWAT One]

Petir nods and steps back.  Seeing that no one has said anything, he steps forward yet again, "Mr. Novil.  Do you have a mission planned for us, sir?"

[blazerblock2]

Novil looked to the Major, then stepped forward, "Ah, yes, we have a mission planned for you now.  Through Kreusche's black market contacts, the Major here was able to procure several shipments of weaponry for us to use as well, so we will not be risking significant loss in carrying out this mission.  I have sent out several of our men to procure these shipments and they should be here within the hour," Novil stopped, and gestured to the Major.

The Major tapped away on his tablet, "I've acquired for you all a two shipments of rifles, ZAV-74s and ZAV-47s.  I've also procured a random assortment of gear that will help you carry your weapons and ammunition.  Your mission today will be hitting the weekly convoy that comes through Route Six to pick up food from the Polvetna docks.  This is not to say that we are desperate for food, but the strategy instead is to disrupt ONM supply lines," the Major tapped his tablet once, a map projected itself above the table.  Route Six was highlighted in red, with several points along the route marked with different times throughout the day.

"The convoy will arrive at the Polvetna Docks at around noon, two hours from now.  Hitting the convoy at this time, in Polvetna, has the added benefit of more ambush capability, however we run the risk of civilian casualties if we're not careful.  However, later in the day we can hit the convoy as it makes its return farther down Route Six.  This map has been marked at several points, where conditions are most ideal to take down the convoy, each mark has the time of day that the convoy will pass by it marked next to it."

"Thank you, Major.  That being said, I leave it up to all of you to decide when and where we strike.  If you are confident enough to pull off an ambush in the city with minimal civilian casualties, then we will carry out the attack there.  Otherwise, we will attack later in the day.  What are we thinking?"


Alexandru nodded his head continuously throughout the brief, before speaking up, "I say we hit them in the city, show 'em we ain't forgetin' around huh?" he said, looking around at the others, waiting for input.

[SWAT One]

"Hmmm, that could be, but our current location could be too conspicuous if we strike too close to our current base.  This might be the first place they look.  I say we strike about ⅓ down the route where the forest is thickest," Petir says while pointing at a point along the route.  "What vehicular support do we have at our disposal?"
