Operation Percontor

BEFORE READING THIS DOCUMENT IT IS ASSUMED THE READER HAS READ AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE TAU-44 OPERATION PERCONTOR CAMPAIGN BRIEFING.

Updates to OPFOR and ROE

As of the conclusion of Phase 1, there are FOUR identified factions in the campaign area:

  • VMF (Russian Navy), likely on permanent posting in Taviana, with modern gear
  • GRU Div P, Russian SF trained for anomalous contact, with top spec modern gear
  • SSRTA Volunteers (Taviana Army), uniformed, coordinated, and Soviet-geared
  • Conscripts / Ex-Taviana Army, plainclothes, possibly uncoordinated, and Soviet-geared

There is also ONE unidentified faction in the campaign area that was observed in contact with Russian forces. At this time, based on descriptions given and the western gear they've been observed carrying, it is suspected that this fifth faction is Chaos Insurgency (ex-Foundation SF), but further confirmation is required.

As all identified factions have demonstrated some level of hostility towards Tau-44, the ROE for Phase 2 and until further notice is UNIVERSAL.

Due to the frequency of plainclothes suicide/explosive attacks, CIVILIANS ARE NOT TO BE CHASED unless we are highly confident they can be safely detained, or if they surrender to us willingly and demonstrate an inability to harm us.

Strategic Overview

We have three "lanes" of ingress available to us to push south and continue our investigation. In Phase 2 we will be focusing on the western lane, which will proceed southwest past Lyubol and the oil fields, through Norilsk Military Base and Apshironsk, and then down to Island Hvar.

Once on Island Hvar, we will be setting up and securing an OP, ideally along the road at a position that can see and cover both apparent bridges. This OP will be our end-ex point later on.

South of OP HVAR are a number of clusters of buildings between us and Mikolay, a hill on which we believe there is a scientific monitoring site. Mikolay is our main objective for this phase.

Pending the timing of completion of OP HVAR and the Mikolay data retrieval, Hoplite-1 may opt to search the surrounding area - especially east - where further concentrations of compounds and buildings are. Of not approximately 2.5km east of Mikolay is Luzhin nad Olgoy, which appears on terrain maps to be a castle structure, nestled slightly into the large barrier hill between this region and Lyepestock.

Be aware that OPFOR, particularly GRU Div P, has been sighted in force in Lyepestock, especially the Stadium. Should Hoplite-1 forces venture very far east during this phase, we should be prepared for possible contact from that direction.
