This Operation is set in Vietnam in 1965. Specific Units, Engagements and Soldiers have not been mentioned or recreated out of respect for the men and women who served our country during the Vietnam Conflict

0400- Operation Starlite begins with bombing runs on suspected Viet Cong positions. There is no resistance and no aircraft are damaged. Marine elements are moved to staging areas and reconnaissance units are scrambled to search the area of operations

0900- Marine elements form up and begin the assault through the Bing Mao region. Viet Cong elements of unknown strength are reported in the area but visual conformation has not been successful. Mike Company sets up blocking positions on the main route to the villages of Nam Yen and An Cuong

1115- Hotel Company secures the village of An Cuong and prepares to attack the nearby Hill 30 overlooking the valley

1130- Hotel Company comes under heavy fire at the base of Hill 30 and sets up HQ in An Cuong. Elements of the 1st Viet Cong Regiment are spotted moving into the area adjacent to Hill 30

1305- A Forward Artillery Command Group moving forward behind Hotel Company is ambushed and pinned down outside An Cuong. India Company is called in to assist

1320- India Company moves out to protect the besieged command group and reinforce Hotel Company. Progress is slow and several ambushes along the roadway to An Cuong inflict casualties on both sides

• Waterproof boots (it may get muddy out there)

understatement of the century... i suggest, spare socks, and pants as well...

[operatordoc01]

Op-Doc will be there

[Explosives On Hand]

For all attending this event, please keep in mind that this is an overnight event. Bringing the proper flashlights and equipment we have mentioned as well as whatever you think is necessary is important for your safety and to keep the event running smoothly.
If anyone does not wish to play through the night, it would be a good idea to bring a tent and other camping supplies with you. The closest hotel is in South Haven, which is about a 15 minute drive. Camping sites will be pointed out in the area of the parking lot. This is to keep non-combatants from getting in the middle of a firefight. We are using the same field as Flash Fire, so anyone who has already attended here should know the general layout.

Lastly, we are using the same medic system as Flash Fire, and replacing the engineer system with ammo bearers. So if anyone signing up wishes to volunteer for these roles, please mention it on the forum, or in a PM or letter. We also need people who own flare guns to allow people in game to have a little light. Anyone in this role (we're calling it Forward Air Controller) will still be able to play, and can use there flares at there discretion.

Thanks,
EoH

[operatordoc01]

sweet, i will be looking forward to this event. as for flare guns, i will be bring one and several flares for this event, what about smoke grenades?

[Canto]

Smoke grenades are fine.

[towmas13]

Is this going to be played as a nonstop game or several smaller games?

[Explosives On Hand]

This will be a non stop game. There will be a dinner break worked in at some point, we have yet to decide when.

The ammo limitations were created with resupplying in mind. Guys will have to go back to a spawn point where they can leave there ammo, or ask to be resupplied. We are planning on preparing a few ammo crates with bags of BB's to do ammo runs.

[towmas13]

sweet, this sounds like a kick ass op. I will definatly try to be there.

[operatordoc01]

cool thanks john

[MichiganSniper]

I'll bet that some of us F.A.S.T. guys will be going (except Joe, because he left us for Black Umbrella...)

It really sounds like an amazing Op.

[Optimus Composite]

Loving the ideas you guys have come up with (especially ammo carriers). I'll most definitely try to be there, no guarantees yet.

One question, though. By "No Loose BB's" do you mean absolutely none, or would speedloaders be ok? Just curious.

[towmas13]

Does the ammo limit include sidearm ammo?
