Major, the enemy, frankly to our surprise have gained air superiority over the island. In the time between the ending of the last operation and now, our naval forces have managed to land additional ammunition at Moschnyi Harbor. One freighter is preparing to leave while another will arrive in about ten minutes. The two missile boats which were your transports will be anchored at the harbor to provide AA covering fire. At the moment, the only aircraft available to our force on the island are two CAP fighters.
We are expecting an enemy bombing air raid within minutes.
Your orders are, as before: Your spetsnaz team and two naval infantry platoons will continue to hold the middle of the island blocking all enemy forces from penetrating westward. You must hold your position for as long as possible, then withdraw by bounds to the west, delaying enemy forces for as long as possible.
Commentary: Here are where things get really hairy for the Chernarusians. No air support, no CAP and no reinforcements with an expected air raid in mere minutes. Rebel forces really have the air tied up in a knot. The blocking force, in the first run through, lasts ten minutes before being forced back, due to constant air attacks by rebel fighters. Out of 16 naval infantry, six survive. Out of six naval spetsnaz, two survive.
The spetsnaz commander decides to take command of the remnants and withdraw to a seaside resort on the north side of the island and request seaborne extraction.
Meanwhile the enemy air raid is a success. Two freighters, two missile boats and three armed motor launches, along with all the ammunition stores are destroyed.

Moschnyi Operation 3
Congratulations on the successful completion of your task, Major. The next phase of the operation will begin immediately.
Two naval infantry squads are tasked with holding Moschnyi Harbor to enable the landing of supplies, and two will be tasked with assisting your spetsnaz team.
Your forces will immediately move to a defensible position in the middle of the island and hold that position against any enemy forces attempting to gain the western side of the island. We are expect a rebel rifle platoon and a technicals platoon will attempt to close with our forces in Moschnyi, so your forces must be prepared to stop them at all costs.
If you hold your position for at least 90 minutes without enemy forces penetrating to the west end of the island, yours will be a victory.
Commentary: This scenario turned out to be an immersion event, a game so good, where everything went so well, the player gets completely immersed in the experience.
As part of a campaign, however, things go against the Chernarusians. Even as the task is being successfully completed, the rebels wrest control of the air and establishes air superiority sufficiently so their CAP begins to attack the naval infantry in the center of the island. By the end of the game, things begin to look bad for the defenders as more rebel infantry begin to converge on the defended position.
No photo play of this scenario exists at the moment.

Moschnyi Operation 2 -- Liberation Begins
The liberation of Moschnyi Island is at hand, Major. The rebels have occupied the island since last summer, but it is only since the first of the year we have had forces available to retake the island.
Your spetsnaz team will land at the southern coast of the island and proceed to the main road, holding that position against any enemy patrols. You will hold that position for about 30 minutes, then call in the naval infantry to land.
Once the naval infantry have landed, you will task one squad to hold your position, two squads with taking the town of Moschnyi, leaving one squad to assist your team.
Your team then will proceed to the airstrip and attack and eliminate any enemy forces there. Once you have destroyed all enemy aircraft at the location, the relieving naval infantry forces will land by boat near the airstrip.
The invasion will commence with a SEAD strike on the 23mm AA battery posted at both harbors. You will have two airstrikes available to you to deal with enemy technicals.

Moschnyi Operation 1
The first Moschnyi operation took place in late summer, 2015. What follows is a description of the mission:
Only four days ago, a rebel force took over the eastern Moscheni town of Novakvice. Landing by boat, and with agents planted inside the town, the rebels took only four hours to bring the town under their control. The rebels killed the mayor and his wife, and are holding several top civic and government leaders prisoner.
The Ministry of Defense had no warning about this invasion, and no military forces were in the area to stop the takeover. Nearly every army and air force unit are occupied in northern or eastern Chernarus. The only appreciable forces available for any counter operations are Admiral Gorkov's naval infantry, spetsnaz and naval forces based across the strait.
Naval intelligence has learned that the rebels are planning to take the rest of the island in a surprise attack to take place in about an hour. The island president is preparing to evacuate the island by air along with a number of people by boat, including police. The evacuation is taking place as you read this.
You will have a naval infantry platoon at your disposal which will land by boat in extreme western Moschnyi. Your spetnaz team will land by boat at the ferry area. An ammunition truck has been parked at the ferry landing along with an offroad vehicle for your use. The only heavy weapon available will be a recoilless rifle.
The battle will be by phases. Your team will move first to Phase Line Alfa, where you will set up a defensive position. Use this position to stop any rebel mobile forces for as long as prudently possible.
Naval intelligence says that as many as 12 technicals will attempt to move across Phase Line Alfa. Once your position becomes untenable, or you receive word the president is on the move, you will withdraw to Phase Line Berkut, where you will set up a new defensive position. By that time all the enemy technicals should be destroyed, but by that time enemy infantry should be trying to infiltrate.
You must hold Phase Line Berkut at all costs until the president's plane is airborne. Once the president is safely away, your task will be to destroy all remaining aircraft, and fuel and ammunition trucks at the airfield with explosives available, then withdraw to Phase Line Vershinin.
At Phase Line Vershinin, you must hold until your naval infantry teams have been evacuated.

Raid on Bleonilba -- June 27th
On the southeastern coast, south and east of Cruce, the enemy maintains a number of positions on the main highway between Cruce and Bangaba. One checkpoint is at a small hamlet, Bleonilba, directly on the coast. Drone overflights show a single rifle squad and two technicals are at the position, as well ammuniton and fuel vehicles. That checkpoint is a weak spot in their deployment. Hitting the enemy there would be a rude introduction for the enemy.
The naval task force consisting of two corvettes will arrive at around 2130 hrs to provide preparatory naval artillery fire on any targets and will remain there for 30 minutes. When the task force exits the area, your forces will commence landing operations.
Your spetsnaz team will land less than 200 meters from the hamlet, while your naval infantry squad will land 500 to 900 meters north as a blocking force against any possible enemy reinforcements from the north.
Your team will then proceed into the village, wiping out all opposition, destroying any enemy supplies at the location, and searching dead bodies for documents.
Once your tasks are complete, your team will reload onto your ships and exit the area.
Possible enemy counteraction could include African rebel forces, Molation light infantry, or Takistani regulars and irregular forces, most of those coming from the west and northwest in any combination. Vehicles your forces could be expecting could include technicals and BTRs.
The only additional asset at your disposal is a Pchela drone. The entire operation could take a long as three hours, so it is likely the drone will be forced to return to base before the operation is concluded.

Chernarus Naval Forces at the Horn of Africa
The Chernarusian ministry of defense has announced a new deployment of naval and ground forces near the horn of Africa.
The main focus of operations will be Tropica Island, currently in the hands of several groups, including Chedaki insurgent and criminal groups as well as the usual Islamic groups.
The northern half of the island is occupied by troops loyal to the Molatian government, and while the government maintains bases in the south, that area is administered by national liberation fronts and by transnational criminal organizations, including Takistani Army regulars, Takistani militia, Chedaki and African rebel troops.
The area has been used by Chedaki criminal elements as a source for drugs and slaves, and as a base for customers for arms, munitions and cash they ship in exchange for drugs.
The deployment is also meant to bolster the presence of NATO forces in the area and will work closely with those forces. Chernarusian forces are expected to conduct counter pirate operations, as well as disrupt, degrade and destroy rebel operations in the region.
The ground forces will be based at an undisclosed location, while the naval task force will rotate in and out of their Green Sea naval bases.
Naval Forces deployment:
4 Flower Class corvettes
2 Patrol Boat Tenders
Naval forces will be split into two task groups, with one at Green Sea naval bases, with the other in current operations.
Chernarus Naval Forces Deployment
30 Naval Infantry
30 Naval special forces
4 Assault Ships
2 Ship borne command centers
2 MI-17 helicopters
2 Drones
20 Command/Intel/Support personnel
10 Naval personnel
Probable Enemy Forces
300 Molation Army regulars w/ 30 BRDMs and 30 technicals (100 deployed in the southeast)
150 African Rebels w/15 technicals
100 Takistan Army regulars w/ 30 technicals
100 Chedaki rebels w/ 30 technicals
Chernarus naval forces can expect limited help from the US Navy in the form of air strikes, and some help from US Army Delta, SEAL, British SAS and CIA Tier 1 operators.
