Description
After invading the town 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 HQ/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 M2A2 Bradley IFV
- 2x M2 HMMWV
- 1x M977A4 Repair vehicle
- 1x M977A4 Ammo vehicle
- 1x Reaper unarmed 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

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
