I’ve been thinking of the possible scenarios that I could set up for this project, which is focussed on a post colonial, retreat from empire, counter insurgency operation, in an as yet indeterminate ‘imagi-nations’ location, not unlike East Africa or South Arabia.
So far the list looks a bit like this, with all missions being set for the British platoon but with matching objectives, victory conditions etc for the rebels:
-Setting an Ambush.
-Intercepting supply lines.
-Capturing arms caches.
-Hearts and Minds.
-Escorting a supply column.
-Night patrol.
-Night raid on rebel camp.
-Rescue the downed pilot.
-Blow up the downed aircraft.
– Recover the mined AFV
-Mine / IED clearance.
-Escort the visiting politician / journalists.
-Rescue the ex-pat oil workers / missionaries / journalists.
-Helo Air assault on rebel held village.
-Find the rebel leader.
-Protect the civilians villagers from rebels attack.
-Road block traffic search.
-Punitive raid to confiscate livestock / crops.
-Stop rebel infiltration across border line.
-Link up with / insert / extract Special Forces.
-Infiltrate across border to set traps / mines.
-Blow up a bridge / railway / road in rebel area (not sure why but why not?)
– as above but repair.
-Capture prisoners for interrogation.
-Defend supply dump, forward base, polling station, oil refinery, radio station or whatever.
-Amphibious raid on rebel coastal strip.
-Field test the new bit of kit (..Scorpion tanks!)
-Find that camel!
…and whatever else you can think of to fill in any gaps that I’ve missed.
Any ideas would be very welcome.
Thanks.
Jim
