The next game has been played, the next report is up. This time we´ve played a shorter scenario to keep things rolling on the campaign map.
This time, we´ve played in the greenzone:
April 21, 09:04 Local Time.
Though Mul Qasr has fallen, the Taliban were able to take the Prisoners with them and moved them towards an unknown location – probably somewhere in the mountains near the Village.
Meanwhile to the south, US Forces have advanced along the main road into the farming areas of the Greenzone. The outskirts of El Qualeed are not far away, but before the advance can thrust into the town, business has to be done in the Greenzone.
Hesitant as always, the locals are only willing to speak about the Taliban if put under immense pressure and questioning the farmers has not yielded any satisfactory result. All the soldiers encounter in the area is hatred and mistrust from the populace – it seems like a lot of work lies ahead of the coalition forces. To prevent further deteroriation, the Rules of Engagements are tightened.
Then, on the morning of the 21st, a ragged villager stumbles onto the route of an american convoy, gesticulating wildly. He is brought to the local commander and questioned with the help of a translator, who has serious trouble to keep pace with the speed of the villagers´ report. He seems to have some urgent information.He claims he has seen something in the fields….
Now its the soldiers who mistrust the local villagers, but he keep pleading and seems to be very serious, telling them that the Taliban have killed his father and brother because they were accused of cooperation with the enemy.
Finally, the local commander gives in and despatches your troops to the area. You are to investigate the position described by the villager.
Intelligence reports are handed to you. The area seems to be infested with Taliban, but as of yet they avoided contact. The local population seems to be supportive of the Taliban and its probable that the insurgency movement has many followers among the locals. To prevent them from sliding away from the coalition cause, it is important to prevent any civilian casualties and avoid major disruption of local infrastructure and assets (buildings, fields, canals)
It is very likely that Civilians are in the area to tend to the crops.
Objectives:
-Investigate the Location described by the Villager (The I-Marker)
-Cause no Civilian Casualties
-Destroy no fields or buildings
