INFOR: Tmassah Militia:

-applying the principle of “defense with purposes” as recommended during playtesting of Nod 01B: The Movement Ignites, militia personnel have been redeployed from the western building compound and scattered, as there is no purpose to protecting that specific compound with the original level of armed forces and patrols-there is nothing of value in that structure.

-militia personnel near the confirmed contacts tower have ceased their patrol and adopted scattered defense throughout the tower and nearby buildings.

-securing the militia forward barracks now requires eliminating both 4-man fire teams and having Nod forces enter the compound perimeter.

-Delta Assault squad targets will begin their movement route after the militia forward barracks is secured rather than immediately at the mission start.

-guard radius for village fire team set to activate when OPFOR are not present.

-additional militia personnel added to buildings close to roadblock. Armed and unarmed civilians redeployed.

-militia roadblock security sequence now uses a determination of specific fire teams’ member counts as less than 1 rather than equal to zero as trigger condition.

-neutralizing the militia roadblock will now require securing both the tower and the multi-story building in the nearby compound for task completion.

-securing the medical tent for reinforcements to deploy will now require Nod forces to occupy the compound, in addition to eliminating the militia teams on defense.

OPFOR: Brotherhood of Nod:

-mission failure sequence related to Zubin Arkardi being killed refined to remove action to speak to Arkardi immediately upon his death.
