Combat Mission Challenge 2008

The objective of the Combat Mission Challenge [CMC] is to provide a serious competitive scenario format simulating military missions enhanced by typical military training tools, where coordinated team work can be measured and compared. 

This is a three player competition.   Each team is allowed one alternate but has to be part of only one team.

There are four stages.  Each stage will be timed with the Alpha teams’ clock starting at zero running forward and the Ops force teams’ starting at the max time limit and running backward.  The teams will take turns playing as both Alpha and Ops forces.  The team with the lowest cumulative time wins.

Positions

Alpha Team’s Position

No longer will we sit and wait for the enemy to attack our lands and steal our lives and riches. We will take the fight to the enemy, stomp on his throat and eliminate the threat once and for all.  If this means we fight a long draw out war so be it.  Peace and prosperity is worth the sacrifice.

Ops Force Position

Our most evil and narcissistic enemy is invading our homeland.  This will be their greatest mistake.  This is no longer a “dispute” over our boarders. They are attacking our families and leave us no choice but to fight to the end.  If we are not immediately successful our youth will see the honor and valor from our sacrifice and realize the ultimate victory.

Operation Orders

Operation Switch Blade

Alpha Team’s Orders [3 teammates]

The mission is to establish a field command center including satellite link with HQ for area forces.

• You will be airlifted by helicopter and dropped in a hot zone as close as practical to the enemy.
• You will have your small arms, superior training and the light armaments onboard the chopper, as you will need to carry equipment with you. 
• Take control of the target outpost and tap Signal Scrambler into their communication system.
• Once hooked in, turn the system on, and we’ll be good to go long enough to continue operations.

Intelligence reports indicate that the Outpost generally has three guards assigned  with one on duty at all times.  Our assault is timed while two guards are on break at the further end of the compound.  One option is to use the chopper's machine gun to keep the re-enforcements at bay until two others can over run the single guard and complete the mission..

Enclosed is a map showing the locations of the Landing Zone, prominent land marks, and the Outpost Communication System location.

You will start this mission with door of the chopper opening.

Ops Force’s Orders [3 teammates]

Our radar is tracking a helicopter heading directly for this location.  Spotters have identified a helicopter as a “Quick Strike” type the enemy use’s for covert small operations.  This unit has one door mounted machine gun, and turbo boost propulsion.  The max weight capacity is 350Kg, enough for 3 men and gear. 

We anticipate they will hit our Outposts, Com Centers, and eventually our command.  Your glory will come in protecting the Communication our nation so you need to crush this invasion.  The one true God be with you. 

Two players will start this mission with their barrels touching the start post at the end of the Tower Field, the lone player will start in the communication outpost.

Operation Blew Smoke

Alpha Team’s Orders  [3 teammates]

Our initial invasion has been successful at eliminating the primary communication system.  Op forces have been using this secondary site to relay orders and recon info.   The objective is to disrupt communications by destroying the Ops communications center. 

• Find the relay system on the target knoll
• Remove the small access cover on the control unit
• Attach the explosive clicker, arm the explosives and detonate.

Only two guards are typically posted at this type of location but the terrain is tough and this is their home.

Enclosed is a map showing the target and it’s location.

This mission will start with your barrels on the marked bunker.

Ops Force’s Orders  [2 teammates]

The invaders have destroyed our primary communication system.  Central Command has wisely planned for the need of secondary com sites.  Your assignment is to protect this site until we receive and transmit critical counter attack orders. 

Expect movement from the West and North.

May the Holy One bless your soul with much good!

This mission will start with your barrels touching the pole.

Operation Snake in the Grass

Alpha Team’s Orders  [3 teammates]

Intelligence has identified and confirmed that a lone sniper has taken up position outside the perimeter of a thought to be secret meeting of an Op diplomat to discuss terms.  Alpha team is to extinguish the threat before diplomats start arriving for the conference.

• Alpha team will have to move East down the row of houses
• Cross the street North, crawling under the perimeter wire
• Move West up the other row of houses
• Negotiate down the top of a wall
• Enter the home and complete the mission. 

The team should expect fire.

You will start this mission inside the designated building

Ops Force’s Orders  [1 teammate]

Guerrilla warfare is part of God’s way.  Our infidel leader has no stomach for such a fight; he is only interested in protecting his families’ position.  His brother is to meet with invaders at this place; you are to kill him and anyone who gets in God’s way.

Remember you are God’s hand and can not fail.

The sniper must stay inside the building

Operation Hound Dog

Alpha Team’s Orders  [3 teammates]

One of the last radical leaders is moving light and regularly across the countryside and continually out maneuvers our pursuing forces.  He is very popular with the indigenous peoples and has much support. Information has led us to believe that the leader is located in one of three encampments in a remote region.  A anonymous informant has left a map with the location of the leader's encampment at the specified coordinates.

• You are to silently enter the target area across a gorge using a zip line
• Locate the Ops leader and engage him with extreme prejudice. 

The mission will be completed when the leader is no longer a threat.

Some Mission Coordinators think that clearing the entire area may be an effective way of eliminating the problem.  Others do not.  You will have to make your own assessment in the field.

The mission will start with one person in the zip line waiting to launch.

Ops Force’s Orders  [3 teammates]

Our greatest and most holy leader will evade the enemy by moving from camp to camp.  The evil one's large clumbsy force will not have a prayer of finding him among our friends.  We will have forces in all camps to ensure the holy one time to evade the evil empire.   May God protect us all.

The mission will start with all the players encamped in their encampments.

Many thanks to the Jungle Cats, Warlords, and WIP-SOG for their support, without which this event could not function.
