PRELIMINARY BRIEFING
Alright Major, I am aware of your need for planning time before departure so I'll keep this brief.
As you are aware, the Soviet invasion of Houdan Island was swift and overwhelming. The last of our forces were extracted in a costly retreat from Le Port.

Ideally we would wait for a larger task group to move into the area before responding, but we do not have that luxury.

Our intelligence reports that Soviet forces in the eastern sector of the island are starved of supplies and the bulk of the defensive force remaining is that which proved needless in the Southern assault - principally that of air defense.
I will not lie to you - the quick retreat means that these reports are sketchy at best.

However, as I have stated, we have no choice but to attack before this gap in their defenses is sealed.

Your team will be tasked with the destruction of the command center for this area. The primary target is a small, two-storey building, housing the only known communications land-line on the island.

You will be presented with satellite reconnaisance photographs before your departure to the USS Thorn, and you will recieve a more detailed briefing when aboard.

That is all.

CREATOR'S NOTE


Mission created by Duma.

I think this is the first mission of its kind created for OFP. The emphasis is not placed entirely on stealth - be warned that it's almost impossible to evade detection throughout the entire mission.

This is hopefully very much a tactical mission - to complete the objectives without losing men will take patience and observation, combined with swift execution.

The artificial intelligence in the demo is a contradiction in terms when it comes to night missions, but hopefully this mission will remain enjoyable despite this.

I plan to create more missions along the same lines, although probably not until the full release. (UK)

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
