=VG= Calv Posted July 5, 2012 at 12:18 PM Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 at 12:18 PM Mission Start Time: 19:00 GMTThere is a warmup/training map with a training area located a few klicks from the main base that will be running on the server at least 30 mins before the start for people to mess around on, get used to the UK weapons and such.Training area has basic shooting ranges, kill house (which resets after 60 seconds I believe), ambush alley (row of buildings with targets located throughout for urban movement practice), and a couple ordnance areas.Planning to begin with a simple patrol mission, just a drive around the city to get a feel for it and we may or may not encounter hostiles. Second mission is a rescue operation for a crashed helicopter.Check this thread for mod information: http://veterans-gaming.com/vg-plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?26452We will be operating without any higher command personnel as it shouldn't really be necessary for the scope of the missions. The chain of command is as follows:Section-1 LeaderSection-2 LeaderSection-1 2ICSection-2 2ICWhoever is left standingRosterCalvSavageEclipseIngoOutlandersGazColdCharry (maybe)IffnAcerRolesSection-1 Leader:Section-1 2IC: Savage3: Eclipse4: Outlanders5: Cold6: Iffn7: Charry (maybe)8:Section-2 Leader: CalvSection-2 2IC: Gaz3: Ingo4: Acer5:6:7:8:Comms InfoI'm still not 100% on how well this comms setup will work so we will see how it goes and adjust as needed.Basically each section is split into two fireteams, Charlie and Delta. Charlie team lead by the section leader, Delta team lead by the 2IC.The entire section will be on the same 343 channel however, so communications discipline will be essential.As the Section leader is going to have increased comms traffic from the 8 men in his section I have passed off the 117 radio pack to the rifleman within Charlie team, so comms between sections can be handed off if the section leader is busy.343sCh1: Section-1Ch2: Section-2148/117Ch1: Section-1 + Section-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suomikeizari Posted July 6, 2012 at 12:07 AM Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 at 12:07 AM still suggest setting a commander for the mission, without one there is going to be a lot more chaos.especially when there is no strict plan or procedure when in combat/trouble.EDIT: oh btw put me as maybe.

You trust the people you give orders to, to be able to use their own initiative and figure out how to do whatever you've asked without needing your input.A lot of command information refers to the rule of three, basically any leader will only be in command of at most 3 people at at once, this is true in this situation.Section-1 Lead is in command of Section-2 Lead, Section-1 2IC, and the second buddy team leader in his own team.Provided that all those people are doing their jobs and the section lead delegates correctly there is no problem with this setup.Say you're attacking a compound.Section-1 Lead informs Section-2 lead of the plan. They are given a position to move to and an area to assault. At this point no more comms between S-1 and S-2 is strictly necessary, you will likely keep each other updated on important contacts/casualties but generally there will be little communication.So for the rest of the assault he only has to deal with his 2IC and his second buddy team. These are most likely going to be within visual range all of the time, and know how to assault a compound without being given specific instructions on where to stand, where to shoot etc, so the only time the Section leader has to concern himself with them is to give special instructions such as setting up a base of fire, flanking an area etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha ha! I could really use people who know how to play well, so I don't have any desire to micromanage.This isn't my first tour in Fallujah either, btw.
