2nd Ranger 1 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) Crowman posted this link over at RSI http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikon...=ST;f=7;t=44110 It's a good discussion about making realistic missions, based on this site, which presents the viewer with a tactical military problem, and provides the solution. I'm finding it very inspirational P.S: The thread contains some extremely useful links and diagrams. Edited January 23, 2005 by 2nd Ranger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrowmanUK 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Well its all well and nice doing the odd go in and shoot stuff mission but I think we all appreciate a more well thought out mission, I'm not a mission maker by any means but I've been looking for links that might help to make missions more realistic in design. I was originally looking for good coop missions for OFP when I found the link, its not too bad is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2nd Ranger 1 Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Alot of the diagrams mean absolutely nothing to me, but there is some good SOP stuff in there, and some links to handbooks, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrowmanUK 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The bit that I liked was this http://globalsecurity.org/military/library...85/ch5.htm#c5p2 Which gives a rundown of how an operation would be conducted, especially this bit Quote Figure 5-1. Five phases of a raid. PHASE 1. The ranger force inserts or infiltrates into the objective area. PHASE 2. The objective area is then sealed off from outside support or reinforcement, to include the enemy air threat. PHASE 3. Any enemy force at or near the objective is overcome by surprise and violent attack, using all available firepower for shock effect. PHASE 4. The mission is accomplished quickly before any surviving enemy can recover or be reinforced. PHASE 5. The ranger force quickly withdraws from the objective area and is extracted. There is a lot of stuff in there that is pretty much meaningless when you plan a mission but theres some real gems in there too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
