ORIGINAL: schweggy With the forces available outside CONUS I was able to render Curacao defenseless except for a smattering of MANPADS in about 12-14 hours. Once I was certain there would be no opposition I launched the 2 Amphibs from Savaneta to secure the northern part of the island. With the C-17's inbound those "advanced" troops began to find and eliminate the MANPADS still around, took the airport, and then just chilled while the jumpers did their thing. I did sortie all the bombers when they were available and used every JASSAM and cruise missile I had armed them with and laid waste to the Venezuelan airbases because I'm like that.  Me as well, That's why I gave you all the toys! quote:
I had achieved a Triumph and not a single amphibious boat other than the 2 from Savaneta entered the scoring zone. I did lose 4 F-15's, a SEAD F-16 and both UAV's. The LCS took minor damage when it got too close to Curacao and an IFV near the airport shot at it. About right. quote:
A sub-mission for the LCS might be to land some forward observers via RHIB? Otherwise it's gonna' be moved out of the way or lost. Moving it out is the right thing to do, isn't much for an LCS to really do other than be a picket boat. I use it for it's radars until i'm about to start the attack and then get it out of Dodge! quote:
The Side 'Org of American States' is now considered HOSTILE to Russia Side 'Org of American States' is now considered UNFRIENDLY to Russia messages might be able to be suppressed? That initially caught me off guard, then I just ignored them. I'm not sure why that was displaying as it was set to not display. That said, I reset it in the event editor and it sees to be working correctly now. It really was unchecked, honest! quote:
I think you could honestly remove the French F-16's and the CONUS based bombers/tankers. Between the two US Burke DDG's there's over 100 Tomahawks to deploy with an additional 24? on the SSN. I think I'm going to reduce the TLAMs on the Burkes. quote:
All in all I don't think the Venezuelan's are much of a threat to the array of forces here. The Russians never entered the fray either, which is probably what would happen IRL unless they had some additional firepower in the region and were sure they'd inflict enough damage to warrant such action. Real life. Might tweak the Triumph score up a bit. Thanks for the feedback!
