Season 2; Episode 4: Operation Frostbite

BRIEFING: It has been a long time, but when we put enough pressure on Liu Xan he finally saw sense and decided to o-operate. What I have is bad news. Real bad news. Liu Xan has revealed the presence of a secret organisation referred to as the “Black Hand”. Made up of ex-servicemen, intelligent agencies and special forces from all around the globe. If Xan had not submitted tangible evidence alongside this claim, I would have dismissed it as some illuminati bulls**t as well. But, all evidences point at it being true. Lads and Lasses at the Intelligence agency are in a wild panic, and frankly, so am I.

While the brainiacs have the whole conspiracy cr*p figured out, we have got ourselves another target. Dr. Gabriel Stubb. Former American Ranger and now a diplomat to Canada. And, as you guessed it, he is also a member of The Black Hand. He is not the most influential member of the Black Hand but he is the closest. Stubb is currently residing in his mountain retreat in (redacted), Canada. Given how deep the members of the Black hand have already infiltrated our ranks, he will most likely be informed that we are on to him and will want to relocate. But what he won’t expect is the speed with which we will be hitting him. The Canadians, god bless their frozen hearts, have removed diplomatic immunity on Stubb, and have given full authorization for a military operation as long as we keep the footprint below a platoon. Read up on you dossiers. We leave in 0500.

INTEL: The terrain is highly forested and the thick canopy makes it hard to make out how many tangos actually patrol the path to the target, but our natural advantage at the dark of the night can help even out the balance of power. The target AO is a large mansion atop a cliff overlooking the sea. Several armed escorts have been noted to leave and enter the area, armed with fully automatic weapons. A river separates the compound from the eastern forest and is connected by the wooden bridge at the north. The bridge is guarded by a solitary guard post, which will probably be manned. There is also a small workshop next to the bridge where Stubb usually repairs his snowmobiles, cars and the like.

In the north eastern corner, there is also a cave system that leads down to the waters below. An emergency exit to sea in case of emergencies most probably. This can be used to our advantage, we may be able to sneak in a few men into the cave, but the rough waters may make it difficult to navigate in full gear.

ASSETS: Maximum of 6 man ground team. No sniper or intel support.

INFIL: Six men vehicle drop from the south. This is the most straight forward way to approach the objective, and keeps your men together as one strong unit, covering each other’s back. On the other hand, the CIA have requested to take lead in this operation. Since Stubb has been hiring PMCs to buff up his security detail, they can enter the compound as private security. There is also the cave sytem to the north east. Two operatives with light equipment can swim into the cave undetected, and pinch the enemies from the north.

EXFIL: Natural exfil location is to the south, where we have perimeter. The other option is the cave system to the north. Intel suggest that the cave entrance can only be opened from the inside. We could hot wire the door from the outside but that is going to take a while and attract a lot of attention.

SUGGESTED LOAD OUT AND TACTIC: Arm your rangers with carbines with adjustable scopes, NVGs, and high mobility armour. Two men enter through cave to open up a shorter escape route to the north. The rest methodically work their way up. Make use of bushes to set up ambushes.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry it took so long to update. My PC is busted so I have lost all the files for my previous maps. And my GPU is sadly, fried. Since I work on my laptop it is non repairable. I am playing with sub 15 FPS. So play testing was almost impossible. I would appreciate it if you could help me out and single out problem areas, bugs etc with videos or pics. That way I won't have to burn
