5 Sniper rifles available to CNFiL

The CDF/CNF have four sniper rifles, and one varient available to the commanders.

The main sniper rifle is the Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention rifle, a .408 caliber weapon meant for long range shooting by the CNF and CDF special forces.  CheyTac riflemen are often the first CDF/CNF special forces on the scene of an operation. The rifle is so well equipped for long range shooting, CDF/CNF commanders regard the Cheytac sniper as a force multiplier.

The Arma 2 addons CheyTac M-200 Intervention and AK74M pack are used in this demonstration.

The targets are at 160, 350, 500 and 600 meters.  The Cheytac, SVD and the KSVK rifles are all used to engage all four groups.  The last two groups are beyond the range of the AK-74M rifles.

First the Cheytac M-200 Intervention.

New situation at Gatoro

The following is an intelligence dispatch to the commander of Chernarusian Naval Forces, Lingor (CNFiL):

A few weeks ago unknown persons had placed ads in Chernarusian media touting humanitarian tourism of area in north Lingor where participants could help the poor.  Only a week ago naval intelligence found it those ads had been placed by drug rebels in Lingor with the intent of luring workers to Lingor where they could be captured and put to work helping in drug labs and other aspects of the Lingor drug trade.

Night before last, a number of them, about 20, escaped and went to Gatoro and requested and were granted sanctuary by the Gatoro municipal president, Miguel Lopez Mota.  Lingor rebels tracked the escapees to Gatoro and launched a massive assault into the area, capturing both Gatoro and Medicolin.  Apparently rebels killed nearly everyone they could find including several municipal government workers, and they have captured about half of the escapees, holding them in the abandoned church in Gatoro. The other half are under the protection of the municipal president and are staying at the president's palace, a move the rebels seem to have accepted.

However, Chernarus naval intelligence and Lingor Army intelligence has found that the Lingor rebels have invited several international press representatives to Gatoro to showcase how well residents are being treated.  The move is in fact intended to showcase mass executions that are planned before the rebels withdraw south.

CNFiL: Rescue Mission Near Zanjeer

A Chernarusian special forces strike team is tasked with finding and rescuing a Chernarusian tour group in western Lingor after the tourist plane they were on was forced down near the village of Zanjeer.  The time is January 4th, 2014, at 0500 hrs.

The following is the scenario briefing:

Major, A Chernarusian civilian tourist flight went down in northwestern Lingor yesterday afternoon.  The seven survivors have been captured and are being held at a residence compound near Location 1579 for ransom.

Our operatives tell us that the rebels are expecting the Lingor government to mount a rescue attempt from the south.  Your strike team is ordered to mount the rescue from the north.

The Lingor rebels have reinforced the ares with about 40 fighters in four locations. Another 20 are in  Zanjeer.  We don't know if they will join in the fighting. About 10 are holding the hostages.  The remainder are concentrated in three fortresses, all of which your team must seize before attempting the rescue.  A Lingor Police patrol boat will be carrying your ammo resupply.

Your strike team will insert by  sea about two kilometers from its first area of operation and then fight its way to the location of the hostages.  Once all three fortresses are cleared and you have the hostages, send a radio signal and the Lingor Army will send two transport birds to your location to transport the hostages to safety.

All the best, Major

This after action report begins with a seaborne insertion:

Chernarusian Special Forces in Lingor: Counter Narco Mission 5

A Chernarusian special forces unit (Naval Spetznaz) is tasked with a drug interdiction mission in Lingor.  The following is the mission summary:

Major, our intelligence operatives tell us that narcos are planning to ship a large amount of heroin to Chernarus aboard two aircraft at an airfield near Fernando.

You already have a CNF sniper posited at the north end of the runway with orders to eliminate the four sentries on your signal, and to provide cover for your mission.  A small detachment of narco shooters are in the abandoned base at the south end of the runway, and will likely attempt to find and eliminate your team.  Additionally, a truck road patrol moves through the area at regular intervals.  Three more narco shooter teams are nearby and likely to intervene when you destroy the aircraft.

Your mission is to wipe out all enemy opposition, destroy all enemy aircraft, and exfiltrate back to the extraction zone

All the best, major.

 The units will insert from sea via Zodiac boat.

Recon in Force at Bajerke Dumez

Chernarusian forces consisting of a T-80BV tank company, a motorized rifle company (BTR) will cross the river at Reya Gunde Bihar unopposed and attempt to probe into Bajerke Dumez, about four kilometers to the northwest.  the time is 0615 hrs, November 25th, 2013.

Arma 2 doesn't have very good engineering means save for mines, and most of the bridges will not take armor vehicles heavier than 23 tons, or the weight of a BRDM scout car.  The bridge at Reya Gunde Bihar doesn't seem to have that problem except at the verges where tanks tend to bounce as they move across.  About half the time the driver loses control and the tank flips, so when that happens, I have to restart the game.

Opposing the Chernarusian probe is an enemy tank company of 12 T-55/122s and a reinforced motorized rifle  platoon deployed in Bajerke Dumez.  Also, an MI-24 flight is on call, and a T-34 tanks company with a rifle company of dismounts is heading towards the town.

First the river crossing:

Pookie's ships and naval objects

I have to wipe the PC last night and restore from backup in order to regain lost space.  While that worked and I managed to restore most of the Arma 2 OA/Arma 2 installation I can into a problem using  Pookies Naval addon.

A solution had to be found because nearly half of my personal scenarios include seaborne insertions/extractions or resupply.

I found that a file used to make installations between Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA compatible had not been installed.  That file, called extended_eventhandlers.pbo could be found in Wings of Russia - IL-76 addon.  I simply extracted that file and dropped it in the main addon directory.  From that point on, I was able to use Pook's Navy stuff.
