Description
This mission can be played singleplayer, or as a group of up to 24 people.

This mission is really old, and I havent updated it for a long time. There is no guarantee that it still functions as originally intended
.
A mod preset for easy installation & mod loading can be found here[drive.google.com]

SITUATION
The Ho Chi Min trail is the main funnel of VC equipment into Vietnam, as such, missions are continually being run to disrupt it.

In recent weeks, the supply of arms to the VC has noticeably improved, and our own air support is being limited by the employment of long range SA2 anti-aircraft systems. This has emboldened the VC, who have begun stepping up attacks on US Patrol Bases and COPS, adding unnecessary strain to an already overstretched force.

As such, VIKING Platoon is being dispatched to run additional disruption taskings along the trail, and remove the Missile System and supporting RADAR Installations.



MISSION
VIKING Platoon is to Search and Destroy NVA forces at known points along the Ho CHi Min trail from 1900 until 0600 Local 23rd June 1968. Focusing on Force Multipliers, Leadership and Supply Caches.



EXECUTION
  1. Insert at LZ WASHINGTON and LZ BOSTON.
  2. Assault the SA2 Anti-Aircraft Missile System Location, and destroy it.
  3. Destroy known Equipment Caches.
  4. Disable Cambodian RADAR Station.
  5. Raid PAVN Regional HQ.

You may encounter additional objectives or "Side Quests" as you maneuver through the AO.

VIKING-3 and VIKING-4 will be landing to the North West of our selected LZs, at LZ SEATTLE with the intent that they secure the San Bay Ban Airfield. You should not need to interact with them during this mission.

Commander's Intent:
Success is the destruction of AA Missile systems, known supply caches and OPFOR Leadership. The Platoon should insert at both LZ Washington and LZ Boston, regroup and organise, before moving through the AO on-line, North East.



ADMINISTRATION & LOGISTICS
Mission Flow & Triggers:
This mission is fully automated and has zeus access for administrative purposes only. Players must be wary not to push too far past each objective in order not to engage the remaining AOs. The same goes for Aircraft, maintaining a western holding pattern where possible . While most triggers account for accidental activation, this is not infallible, and can still cause problems long term.

Respawn:
Respawns are unlocked by clearing specific tasks in the AO.
There is a Mobile Respawn Slick, which can be piloted by players, and is encouraged so as to provide quicker reinsert than the objective clearance respawn points. VIKING-6 has authority on when this Helicopter should touch down, and where.

Respawn Loadouts:
Respawn loadouts are set at the start of the game, but can be modified at any arsenal by scroll wheeling, and selecting the “Save Respawn Loadout” option.

Infantry Resupply:
Limited Arsenal available at each respawn point. Ammunition cases can be found dropped across the AO.

Medical Settings & DUSTOFF:
Standard CDLC Prairie Fire medical, does not require PAK to stabilise. No Dustoff MEDIVAC/CASEVAC available.

Aircraft Rearm, Repair and Resupply:
Located at Maxwell Field, all available without restriction.

Aircraft Respawns:
The COBRA and the HORNET both only have two respawns each, all other aircraft are not restricted.

Radio FIRE Support Menu:
This mission features a customised radio support menu. It restricts the type and cost of AI support. You start with 50 support points, and can gain 200 more by destroying the Anti-Air Missile System, as well as through other surprise means.



COMMAND & SIGNAL
Communications Electronics Operating Instructions:
VIKING-1 SR: 100
VIKING-2 SR: 200

Legacy Planning:

Running Password: Free Bird

Update Pushed.

@SG1-YODA Thanks for the feedback!

With the next update I wil be pushing Viking-1 With a Radio Backpack so in singleplayer you can utilise the Radio Support properly. It slipped my mind.

in US

what will be good is to have the possibility to order a Huey helicopter in support.. with machine gunners.. otherwise, it's almost unfeasible.. I tried several times, .. even taking command of the two brigades, in turn, I can not do it ... to carry out all the missions without sending my bots to certain death :steamthis:;-))

hello, no problème for me..;but it s very very hard "in solo".../ce qui serai bien, c'est d'avoir la possibilité de commander un hélico Huey en soutient..avec mitrailleurs..sinon, c'est presque infaisable..j'ai essayé plusieurs fois, ..même en prenant le commandement des deux brigades , a tour de rôle, je n'y arrive pas ...a réaliser toutes les missions sans envoyer mes bots a une mort certaine :steamthis:;-))

@Camoflauged Marine. That highly suprising for it to be taking so long to download! Its around ~100MB in total. Do you have your launcher open at the same time? Sometimes steam likes to stop you downloading addon content when its open.

I want to download it but those other mods take way to long to download good work from the pictures and description but some of us are too old for this shit to work properly.
