“	Remember Retribution	„
	~ Graffiti found scrawled on the side of a burned-out Bradley

Description

After invading the province of Anizay, American regular forces pushed further into the countryside while leaving behind a National Guard garrison. You are those brave weekend warriors who only signed up for cheaper college and affordable healthcare.

This is a defense op where all the contact is spawned in by 2-3 zeuses and players hold several FOBs and a main base. Logistics will be vital to a successful defense as the FOBs start out undersupplied and will require deliveries from Logi.

Players start out spawned in their FOBs already or at HQ if part of Command/Logistics, Artillery, Bradley, or Mobile defense. All players respawn at HQ. Logistics will also be responsible for transporting respawns back to their respective FOBs. Command/Logi should NOT let respawns drive off with logistics vehicles.

Assets

We don't have much, so make your shots count until logi can get you some more supplies.
- 1x M1083A1P2-B (M2)
- 1x M2A2 Bradley IFV
- 2x M2 HMMWV
- 1x M977A4 Repair vehicle
- 1x M977A4 Ammo vehicle
- 1x Reaper armed drone
- 3x M119A2 Howitzer artillery (no artillery computers)

In addition, logistics has a supply depot to be delivered to the defense teams consisting of:
- 12x Medical crates
- 12x General ammunition crates
- 12x Light AT crates
- 12x Explosives crates
- 4x M2HB HMG
- 4x Mk19 GL
- 4x M41A4 TOW

Slotting recommendations

This can be overwritten by commanders/zeuses, but these are my recommended slotting priorities

Command: Always open
Obeh Defense: Always open. The third fireteam (TL/SAW/AAR) can be left empty if players are limited.
Nauzad Defense: Always open. The third fireteam (TL/SAW/AAR) can be left empty if players are limited.
Retribution Defense: Always open. The third fireteam (TL/SAW/AAR) can be left empty if players are limited.
Bradley crew: Strongly recommended
Logi: Bare minimum of 2 required
Artillery: Always open
Mobile Defense: Overflow squad
Zeus: One required. Strongly recommend at least 2
