Operation Diamondback

[Gentner]

Ive mentioned this numerous times on this forum, and have talked to many people from Doc, Tex, Munin and Grey Fox, and with the lack of MilSim games in Michigan, I planned on hosting this on my 12 acre property if I cant find someone to "sponsor" it for me. More or less, I plan to make it private invite (On my land) as size is a major factor in hosting it, if someone happens to sponsor it, then it could be more open. Minimum age Id like it to be set at is 16 and, ammo and mag restrictions will apply. So heres what I have so far, I have been working on this for a couple of months now, and I shall be adding more objectives into the Op as well as tweaking some of them as well. Rules for EOD and that will also be up soon as possible. Tex and Munin have also been helping me with and advising me with the objectives, and those should be up soon as well.

Uniforms:
US Coalition-ACU/MARPAT
US Navy EOD-3 Desert Or Multi Cam (EOD ONLY)
Insurgents-Civilian Clothes
Black Water and Civilian-Civilian Clothes

Story Line:

17 October 2009-The war in Iraq has become more dangerous then ever. US Troops have been withdrawing from the country for the past two months, making it almost impossible to keep order in large city’s such as Fallujia and Baghdad. However there is an even more dangerous threat, Adham Adir one of the top ten most wanted terrorist has moved into BaQubah. Since his arrival on 23 August 2009, Adham Adir and his IED Specialist have been producing large amounts of IED’s and then shipping them to Baghdad and setting them up in BaQubah as well. With the death toll ranging in the thousands from his IED’s, US forces have devised a plan codenamed Operation Diamondback. Operation Diamondback was supposed to take place in Mid-September, however organized assaults on F.O.B Cairo have delayed the operation until now. At 0830 hours a Black Water convoy shipping ammunition to F.O.B Cairo was hit by 3 IED’s and the insurgents quickly overran the area. During this time 4 Black Water Contractors have been taken prisoner and are being held at the terrorist encampment. At 1000 hours the first Black Water Contractor is taped being executed and then strung up in front of F.O.B Cairo, for US personnel to see. Angered by the sight US Coalition Forces are given the green light for Operation Diamondback.

Scenario 1 – 1000 hours-1300 hours:
US Forces have now jumpstarted Operation Diamondback. There are three locations deemed high value to the Operation and they are the TV Station, IED factory, and Insurgent Encampment. These are critical to the Operation and must be taken at all cost. In a desperate act to protect these areas Adham Adir has ordered IED’s to be placed all over the Area of Operations. To deal with this the Navy loans its elite unit of EOD (Explosives Ordinance Disposal) team to the area to disable the IED’s. During the execution of Tim Riley, the Black Water Contractor, an Insurgent filmed the ordeal and is ordered to get the video to the TV station to broadcast across the country.

Objectives For Scenario 1:

US Coalition
-Extract Black Water Personnel
-Disable the TV Station
-Intercept execution tape
-Proceed to IED Factory
-Capture/Kill IED Specialist

US Navy EOD
-Clear trails of IED’s
-Proceed to IED Factory
-Demo the IED Factory


Insurgents
-Protect Insurgent Camp
-Protect IED Factory
-Protect TV Station
-Keep IED Specialist Alive
-Deliver Execution Tape to TV Station
-Keep Black Water Contractors in Possession
-Protect IED’s on the Trails


Scenario II - 1400 hours-1700 hours

US Forces have now pushed the Insurgent groups to the far edge of town. In a final desperate moment, Adham Adir has ordered a suitcase bomb to be planted inside the town market. US Marines and Navy EOD must travel from their spawn to the town market and disable the bomb before the Insurgents detonate it. A US informant has also told US Personnel that Adham Adir will be traveling from the Insurgent spawn to the Mosque to organize a counter attack against the city with other insurgent group leaders. If time allows and Adham Adir successfully makes it to the Mosque a counter attack will take place against the US occupied town of BaQubah. If this happens, the townspeople will not be safe.

Objectives for Scenario II:

US Coalition
-Capture Town Market
-Protect Navy EOD
-Eliminate Adham Adir
-Protect Towns People (Former Black Water Contractors)
-Protect Town Market from Counter Attack

Navy EOD
-Defuse Suitcase Bomb before 1530 hours
-Search Town Market for any IED's or IED Making Material
-Protect Towns People (Former Black Water Contractors)
-Protect Town Market from Counter Attack


Insurgents
-Prevent US Forces from Capturing the Town Market
-Prevent Navy EOD from Defusing the Suitcase Bomb
-Prevent US Forces from entering the Mosque
-Escort Adham Adir to the Mosque by 1630
-Counter attack the Town Market
-Execute Towns People (After 1630)

This event sounds sweet. Could I bring one of my real life Navy EOD friends?

If he can make it out, that'd be pretty badass. Their will be a limit of 8 people who will be on the EOD side, but if he comes, hes got a spot for it.

After some thinking, and help from Munin some things have been changed up in the objectives as well as some other things.

Rules

Operation Diamondback will follow the Engagement and FPS limits set forth by MiA, with the exception that any Sniper Rifle shooting above 475 FPS, their minimum engagement distance will be moved to 100 feet.

IEDs- US Coalition forces will be on the look out for any and all IED's and IED making material. However, the only people who can defuse and take the IED's to the US FOB is the Navy EOD. However, US Forces will be given Orange Flags to mark any and all IED's that they come across. Each Sqaud will be given 5 flags. Each IED will be marked on a map that the Event Hosters will have, and if they are moved by Non EOD members, that team will loose points from their score. If they are caught a second time, they will be expelled from the game without a refund.

Role Players- Throughout the course of Operation Diamondback, their will be numerous encounters with role players playing the parts of Iraqi Villagers, and some will be carrying weapons, some will have intelligence, and others will be just ordinary Civilians. US and Insergents both will want to make it a top priority to keep these civilians on their side, as at any time, these people can relay YOUR presence to the enemy, which will cause futher problems for your cause.

Medics- Operation Diamondback will also allow medics to be a part in this event. Each squad will have one medic attached to them and as most events, these medics will be able to heal their own guys as well as Civilians. Medics will need to have contact with the wounded person for a full minute before they can join in on the fight. Let it be known that ANYBODY can drag a wounded person back to the squad medic if a firefight is taking place, to limit the chances of the medic being killed, as the only person who can heal a medic is a medic.

Respawns- Along with the FOB's their will be TWO neutrail places on the field which can be captured. If your side doesnt have controll of any neutrail spawn points they must go back to their FOB. Respawns will take 10 mins before you can re enter the game. We suggest during this time, that you reload, and re arm as we will only have an Hour of Down time and that is for launch. So, take all of your BB's, back up weapons, any gear and food you may want to your FOB. FOB's will not be capturable.

Demoing the IED Factory- Once the IED Factory is captured and secured by US Forces, it is the main task for the EOD team to demo the factory. It will take apporximatley 10 mins for the EOD team to Demo the factory. At this time, the Insurgent forces can still make a counter attack and repel the US Forces. The EOD team will be given 1 colored smoke grenade and after the ten mins is up, the EOD team will need to pop smoke to signify that the IED Factory has been destroyed.

Uploading Propaganda- Instead of Demoing the TV Station, both the US and Insugent sides must upload their propaganda (Insurgents, the Execution tape and US, Pro Iraqi Gov Tape) between the time of 1230-1300 hours. It will take approximatley 15 mins for the video to upload.

Transporting the Execution/Pro Government Tapes- During the first scenareo, both teams should be on the look out for Propaganda tapes. These tapes can be attached to any unit the team Commanders decide on. These tapes will be given out at the begining of the game, and can be captured at any time in the morning. However, they can be captured back.

Bleedout Times- If you are shot, you must sit or lay where you have been shot. At this time, the only things you can say, are hit and Medic. You can not move unless assisted by a friendly troop or by a Medic. If you are not treated by a medic within 5 mins your are Dead and must walk back to a Respawn point or your FOB.

Searching Enemy Forces and Villagers- During Op Diamondback, Each side will be given 5 critical peices of Intel which can be captured by the opposing forces. To search a dead person, villager or prisoner, simply place your hand on the persona and say, "I am searching you, do you have anything on you?" If you do and are searched hand over that intel. If you cheat and lie saying that you dont have any intel and you do, you will be expelled from the game without a refund. However, villagers can be alittle more resealiant. They do not nessesarily have to comply with US or Insurgent forces. They aswell will be carrying intel and some with weapons. Points will be awarded for all intel and weapons gathered. However, if extreme force is brought upon the Indig Personnel, that team will be deducted points, unless it follows with the Rules of Engagements. (Insurgeants are Exempt from this.)

Rules of Engagement (US SIDE ONLY)- As in todays conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, US and Coalition forces are faced with Armed Insurgeants, Civilians and Iraqi Police/Military forces. However the US side will have Rules of Engagment forced on them, just like in the Real world. They follow:
1) Only Engage if Shot At
2) Only Use as Much Force As Needed Against Civilians
3) Radio in to HQ for Permission to Engage Suspected Insurgents (Snipers will need to do so, unless they see the Insurgents engaging US/Civilian Personnel.)

I like it man. Very good. THIS is the kinda stuff people want to play at. Especially me!!! Will there be any kind of internal command chain within the teams? I for one don't think you can truly achieve MilSim without a true command structure. Capable strategic leaders with command experience (military or airsoft) that can command men efficiently and execute orders and complete objectives. That is a large portion of the "military experience"... I have nothing else to say... taking orders, and FOLLOWING THEM. Sounds fun, I would like to see this happen sometime, hopefully soon. ;D

I got to Email Doc, but theirs a chance it may take place at MOA, but Im not sure when and where. Mainly I wanted to see how much interest I can get in it before anything becomes 100% official.

[SWAT Hornet]

If it is at the MOA field in Schoolcraft again, I'm definitely gonna try and get out there.

[wolf]

Team M.A.A.G, would definitely have to make it out to this, especially if it was at your field.

[motofan130]

This sounds like it would be a killer game. I would deffinentaly come if it becomes a reality.

[Kjones]

When this happens I would like to be placed on the Insurgents list, thank you.

[BoredKender]

I'd be down. My marpats and rifle collecting dust right now...

[Joslyn]

Im down for Role Player and or Insurgent.
