Here's a report about SRP -teams missions and action in B7. There is also a maplink for each day that shows approximately the SRP movement during the day. If you have something to add or comment, feel free to do so.

---------------------------------------------

SRP ORGANIZATION

HQ Squad (6 men)

TIGER COMPANY (120 men)
1st platoon, BULL
2nd platoon, FOX
3rd platoon, HAMMER
Recon platoon, RAT

DOG COMPANY (50 men)
1st platoon, DOG
2nd platoon, WOLF
3rd platoon, COYOTE
4th platoon, BEAR

---------------------------------------------------------

DAY 1:

MAP

On Wednesday all troops settled in at the base. They built up defensive positions and established defensive perimeters for each platoon. SRP started with 15 gold ingots. SRP:s first missions for days 1-2 were as follows:

1. Locate enemy bases (picture of recon number)
2. Capture and hold strategic points (Miner's hut, travellers lodge and the bunker)
3. Retrieve stolen gold from NATO
4. Trade gold for money
5. Buy weapons
6. Prevent possible ORC sniper squad from getting in BC
7. Assassinate the drug dealer in BC (apple salesman)
8. Ambush NATO forces using positioning beacons from crashed F-16
9. Capture supplies from other factions


As the game started, the SRP recon platoon was sent to locate all enemy bases, one squad for each faction. Two fighters from FOX platoon were sent to BC dressed as civilians to meet the banker and the mayor and to locate an undercover arms dealer as well as a drug dealer who sold apples at the market place.

BULL platoon was sent to the direction of Himmelsberget to take hold of the road leading to BC but they were stopped by NATO forces who didn't let anyone near BC. HAMMER and FOX platoons took positions on the miner's hut. Part of the HQ squad went to negotiate with NATO forces closing in on the area from the north. The NATO forces took the negotiators as prisoners but failed to find a gold ingot in one of the fighters backpack although it was searched. After long but peaceful negotiations SRP troops pulled out from the miners hut and NATO took positions there letting the prisoners go. Meanwhile a group of civilians was paid to smuggle one SRP fighter to BC to negotiate with the mayor in which they succeeded.

DAY 2:

MAP

First thing day two the HAMMER and FOX platoons were sent to capture back the miner's hut and DOG company followed them to continue directly to BC. HQ squad, RAT platoon and BULL platoon stayed in the base area, where a convoy of The Department of State -operators arrived and soon left after friendly negotiation. Some information was exchanged. PICTURE

At the miners hut HAMMER and FOX managed to capture back the respawn point from NATO forces and finally pulled back to base after many hours of repelling the NATO counter attacks. DOG company managed to get one squad of fighters into BC. They started the negotiations with the arms dealer and protected his stash from NATO forces occupying the city. Meanwhile a small convoy of NATO forces was destroyed trying to rush in to the SRP base.

Later on the banker arrived to the SRP base to exchange SRPs 5 gold ingots to 660 000B$. With the finances starting to look good for the separatists four operatives dressed as civilians were sent to BC with an armoured limousine to make a weapons deal with the arms broker.PICTURE
As a secondary objective they had to assassinate a drug dealer posing as an apples salesman at the market place.

The operatives were posing as telecommunications mechanics who were installing a Wi-Fi system to BC. However the Wi-Fi communications device was an explosive rigged with a self made electronic detonator. The hidden bomb was placed next to the applesalesman and undercover SRP fighter detonated the bomb with battery from PMR –radio. The mission was successful and after a moment spent in jail for interrogation the captured operatives were set free by the BCPD. A deal was made with the guns broker for AT-mines, AT-missiles and a mortar with three ammo crates. The goods were then transported to the SRP base.

Later that evening the BC mayor came to meet the SRP commander. He was offered some coffee and Swedish high quality sausages. PICTURE The mayor also asked if his daughter was with the SRP forces but he was told that SRP knew nothing about that. During the meeting the SRP forces were kept busy by a rather large number of YOM forces attacking the area from all directions causing a delay in the negotiations. The attack was denied, but the mayor, sadly, had to enjoy his sausage cold.
At 9: pm SRP got new missions for day 3-4 and they were as follows:

1. Destroy the mechanised rocket launcher in the ORC base using an AT-weapon or a satchel charge
2. Eliminate the group of Department of State operators as a revenge for kidnapping the mayor.

After a quick debrief each fighter got a pay check for their honourable service in the Separatist ranks. PICTURE

After midnight the two tracking beacons were activated by SRP in the sector D17 and the whole of TIGER company placed an ambush for NATO troops at the western road. Meanwhile DOG company set a roadblock on the southern road east of the base to prevent YOM troops from interfering with the SRP plans. The ambush was in place for two hours and as no NATO forces arrived the SRP troops pulled back to base. A small group of mercenaries, though, was intercepted at the ambush location by a single SRP fighter after the main forces had left the area.


DAY 3:

MAP

In the morning one squad from FOX platoon took up ambush positions at the southern road near Bastubacken. This squad would later on be the first one to take on the attacking mercenaries.

RAT platoon was transferred undercover by a limousine to positions south of the YOM base their mission being to destroy the rocket launcher using a previously scouted route.

At that time, by chance, the State Department operators arrived at the SRP base asking about the mayors daughter and if they could escort her to BC. SRP accepted this and asked them to get all their vehicles into a convoy on the southern field for more security. The operators lined up all their vehicles to the field and were ready to escort the limousine to BC. The treacherous State department operators were, however, shot to oblivion by the SRP forces as retaliation for kidnapping the mayor and establishing an embassy in BC. VIDEO

After this the rest of FOX platoon accompanied by the mayors daughter were given a mission to blow up the US embassy in BC. The bomb was taped in the mayors daughters belly, she disguised as being pregnant. Civilians were told that she had been raped by an unknown NATO soldier to turn the mayor against NATO forces.

At noon a small convoy of mercs were destroyed by the FOX squad placed on guard duty on the southern road. Following the spearhead a company of mercs were dropped off east of Bastubacken near the grid coordinate H17. The main attacking force kept on pushing from east but thanks to resolute fighting and the help of precise mortar and artillery fire on the area the attack was continuously pushed back by the defences as the fighting started cooling down after several hours. Small, scattered enemy strikes kept on pushing against worn out SRP troops for the whole night with everything from tanks to mechanised infantry. The lines never broke and even the heroic SRP commander got some action pulverizing the enemy tank together with fighters from FOX 1 -squad. PICTURE The fighting hardly ended before 03:00 am and could easily be one of the greatest battles in SRP history. Also during the fighting, SRP troops managed to capture Brujo, one of the YOM company commanders. He was also the only prisoner that kept his life after SRP imprisonment, mainly because he gave useful info about YOM -troops to SRP.

During the fierce fighting at the base the RAT platoon executed an attack to the ORC base destroying the armoured rocket launcher. VIDEO

Meanwhile in BC, the FOX platoon leader had political discussions with the mayor and handed over his daughter to him. FOX platoon also decided not to blow up the US embassy for it's results could have been bad for the country. In the evening SRP got information that NATO had a roadblock in the crossroads at D17. A part of the HAMMER platoon was sent to investigate the roadblock and engage it if necessary.

At the same time a group of HQ operatives left with the limousine to scout the roadblock and check the situation on the road surrounding the whole game area. Some fire fighting went on at the NATO roadblock and SRP fighters finally returned to base around 2:00am. While HAMMER was at the roadblock, the DOG company took the tracking beacons and transported one of them to the proximity of BC and the other one inside Milo's base. The idea was to get other factions to fight each other for the beacons. A polish reconnaissance squad, dog-47, from DOG platoon took observation positions and stayed the whole night at the Speckstaberget just to rendezvous with the rest of the SRP forces at BC the next day. The night was calm.


DAY 4:

MAP

At 8:00 am the whole SRP faction was transported by trucks to the road leading to BC. The troops moved in to the city at 9:00am and took defensive positions around the city. SRP had made a deal with the mayor that he would be the SRP's presidential candidate. Manning the city was an intent on trying to secure the elections.

On the way to BC the SRP commander met one of the YOM coy commanders who said that SRP and YOM were in a cease fire treaty to secure the elections. YOM troops continued on their way to attack the NATO base while SRP continued securing the town. Milo's commander, Ober-Lix, was meanwhile captured by his own troops and sold to SRP troops for 60 000 B$. They were fed up with the low pay and decided to make their own luck, this time by cooperating with the forces present in BC, the SRP.

Soon enough, bounced back from the merc attack on their base, NATO started their attack on the city where the combined forces of SRP, ORC and Milo's bravely fought back supported by artillery and a heavy battle tank. PICTURE

As the fighting was ongoing and a critical point was reached the mayor announced that Yuri Orlov had planted a nuclear bomb in the BC and that it would go off at 02:00 pm if Yuri wasn't elected as president. At 01:30pm the NATO troops had advanced almost to the center of the city and the SRP commander decided to evacuate the mayor, the arms broker and 10 of the gold ingots away from the town and the blast zone. VIDEO The road leading away from BC was blocked by NATO, however, and the SRP HQ operatives with the mayor had to ditch the limousine and run through the forest to safety(main safe). Rest of the SRP troops were given orders to pull back from the BC and evacuate as many civilians as possible to safety before 02:00pm. SRP troops were also given orders to kill Ober-lix before pulling off the BC, and so BULL-1 leader eliminated him as his last shots of B7. At 02:00 pm most of the SRP fighters had pulled back to the main safe and our merc comrades managed to evacuate civilians out of the BC before the bomb detonated. The town was almost in NATO control when it became Liburania ground zero.

It will now be the sole mission of the SRP forces to start building a new, peaceful country with the support of the locals. Those who stand in the way will be pushed aside.

Absolutely beautifull report, and it looks like excellent organisation and camaraderie within the SRP. Compared to Milo's Tigers confusion and chaos this sounds like Nirvanna :D


I for one am seriously thinking of joining SRP next year, if they will still be a faction..

You forgot to mention that ALL of Milo's effectives were engaged with you on that attack on the 3'rd day. We were the ones in the north and the forest NE of your base.

So it was you guys who gave us a hell of a fight in the forrest. We couldn't tell which guys were attacking from wich direction, cause we had enemies coming from all sides + it was difficult to recognize Milos and YOM troops from each others during the fight.

yes.. we got in position N of your base undetected, but our plan was folied by some wrecless ORC attack where there should have been none.
We were spotted, forced to retreat, we scattered.. some joined attack on ORC side, last 40 or so were preparing to assault through the narrow NE forrest near the field.. Just as we were about to attack we got on the radio that mayor's daughter might be coming from/to BC and to setup an ambush.. we started to pull out ( luckily), and then all hell broke loose.. you laid Arty on us, it was one of the most intense moments at B7, running through the forest with Arty going up just behind us, and GM trying to catch people to call dead.. we lost about 10 there, crossed the road, came up by the civillian houses and setup an ambush. Unfortunatly the Mayor's daughter didn't show and after 1 hr we were hit from behind by your forces from the forest and after a long fight, defeated.

Well fought SRP!

Joining the SRP? Bah! I think it's much more fun/challenge to fight against these guys! :D

After two Bergets, I can say, all my best moments come from "encounters of the shooting kind" with SRP.

Great job, Olli!
And thanks to SRP for the excellent and memorable fights!

A. great report.

B. are you sure youre talking about the same game i was in? (NATO) all my game consisted of walking from NATO base to bunker/lodge/mine, engage, die and maybe respawn, back to base.

we didn't have "special" missions like you had (was one that was suppose to blow up mine), we got stopped almost every time we tried to go into bashir, and almost didn't have any interaction with the LARP elements of bashir city. we were all about walk and shoot.

Not saying i didn't have fun but i see there is more fun than i thought possible... (we *almost* had a mission where we were suppose to send an undercover civ agent to bc to gather recon for arrest forces but that got canceled).

Hello

All i can say is that you guys had a very good aim in the air attacks.

1 st attack south of Miner´s Hut FOX 1 & FOX 4 where taken out.

Last day attacking BASHIR CITY you made 3 attacks west of BC all of which fell on FOX Company.

Good aim Olli

See you next year and hope you miss us then :D :D

Regards

Sure there was no type there ? why the difference in manpower between the two companies ?

The big difference was because the language. Tiger company used Finnish only ja Dog company was english/swedish company.

All firemission were given by Jdoe or Tiger-2 meaning Kartoon. Big hand for those guys with excelent use of artillery fire. Mikko aka. Kartoon also leaded about half of SRP fights while I was doing something else (negotiating, leading other team, fixing things with GM's). So another hand for Mikko for strong battlefield leading.

The tiger company consisted of finnish speaking forces. Might sound inbred but aims for better efficiency on the internal comms of a company. Also many of the platoons inside the Tiger company consisted of players already familiar with each others' game styles, or at least on a squad scale. The dog company was going to be bigger if I'm not mistaken, but there were some last minute cancellations, last minute changes to the setup would have made no point, as everybody already knew their position in the chain of command long before the game.

EDIT: Olli beat me to it..

Can i have an idea how much money SRP did had available during the game time, how much was use on artillery, transport, bribes etc... i`m sorry to say but this is still a mister for me how much it cost and how fast you can have an artillery strike after you requested, same for mortier.

All so you said you sent a squad to eliminate an Armour vehicle with AT missile or satchel charge, the berget rules say you can take out a tank in our case mechanized rocket launcher, with the AT missile, another tank gun or Sticky bombs (i never see them probable old remaining rules from other BERGET games), so it was allowed to take out an armored vehicle with the satchel charge?

I know for example that a satchel charge can be use to blow up a road and block the traffic of any vehicle for 4h or something like that and i know this because i saw it in the field, something like this never exist in the BERGET RULES :(....

yes and the fox platoon leader was assasinated by undercover ORC and the whole srp platton wiped out by nato (guess who, yes the vegetata boys) which stormed Bashir and shot up EVERYONE in there (civilians, srp, orc, cia guys) once they heard the first shots fired...
the Mayors daughter somehow escaped i think with some of the cia people.
since it is very problematic to fully kill someone in bashir city (since there is no knifekill option in BC) we managed and me waiting in the middle of the fighting, for the NATO troops to heal the srp fox leader with a medic so i could finish him off was one of my most intense experiences, boy was I nervous... im maybe gonna post the whole story to the best moments...

so if this was the fox leader than he is DEAD :D
