No they just can't just jump in, they need crowbars. No I'm not kidding I seen it done on the local guard base. But It's still stupid to do under a barrage so.

-1 to jacking a tank.
+1 to 3man75's plan.

Oh, fun. Armor.

Well, lets see if Bravo guys know how to use arty, if they do, we are gonna need their support. From somewhere a few KM from any of our bases...

Also, Im thinking all of our forces not otherwised occupied should go and be in the fight.

+1 I think we should do what we did last time though. Lets send in some guys to locate the armory and destroy it this time though. With their weapons destroyed we can focus on taking out their armor with our artilery and RPG units (which we should train some of the new guys with those. Buy a few extras if needed.


The plan:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We'll set up our artillery at night with Bravo company manning artillery we buy (or if they have they can bring some in). We'll have snipers find the juicy tanks and APC's of Derown while that's going on.

This will be followed by a team Rowling up in a Derown army truck and army uniforms for those inside. They're mission is to get close to the armory and blow it up. They're to have large boxes filled with a few guns (in case they check) and the rest with random heavy stuff. Basically they're a Trojan horse.

Once the armory has blown up the artillery is to fire everything it has onto the tanks and APC's. If we can't destroy them then at least keep people from going inside.

From there our snipers will take out MG emplacements and guards rushing to the gates while our rifle companies mount an assualt with whatever Bravo company can pitch in as well.

Take into account however the amount of guns we have and make sure everyone is armed and trained.

These were really interesting because they basically outline what we're doing. Something that really struck me was how the second article compares the Libyan bases in Northern Chad to "isolated and vulnerable islands", and also says how the Libyans had "inadequate knowledge of the area". I agree with using similar tactics to those we used on the previous base for this FOB, but in the future we might look into using more siege tactics. We could make it unsafe for the Derownish to leave their bases using snipers, artillery, and booby traps. Now that we have the mobility provided by armored cars and technicals, we can get away before they can respond, and use our knowledge of the area to get to ground.

In future endeavors I propose finding their food stockpiles and destorying them via long range artilery or sneaky sabotage. From there surround the base with snipers and prevent food from getting in. We'll starve them out after 2 months but it'll leave us very vulnerable if they decide to overwelm us with a surprise attack from the outside.

Right now time is of the essence since they captured our guys and may know where we are right now. If we take this base and legitimize ourselves then we can gain much more support and prevent derown from just nipping us in the bud with their intel. However, after this and gaining foreign support we may want to start finding a new base of operation as well as expanding our territory some more.

Anyone know a good place to look for a secret interrogation chamber?

Can you guys specify what you want to assign the recruits as? I don't want to have to decide for you.

[Aseaheru]

We will when we get them.

[Playergamer]

You have them, assign them to units.

[Aseaheru]

Rifle squads, since thats what we have gear for.

[Worldmaster27]

One AT and one MG detachment, the rest riflemen.

[3man75]

One AT and one MG detachment, the rest riflemen.

Separatists
The artillery shelling starts as your trojan horse gets through the checkpoint, and it misses the armory, landing outside the security fence. Instantly, soldiers begin swarming the armory, and grab guns, rushing to defend the base. The 50 or so men defending the gate fall quickly, taking 12 rebels with them, and your men quickly rush into the base, attacking the enemy. The artillery continues firing, but to little effect due to how close the fighting is. Eventually, the enemy surrenders, and you survey the damage. 131 rebels are wounded or dead, versus 191 enemy soldiers wounded or dead.

Well... Start recruiting from towns newly under our control, disperse vehicles that we currently arent using, see if Bravo has anyone who knows to use tanks and is willing to train some crews in return for half the tanks, assign the armored cars to some more mobile squads, and prep the APCs  for mechinized units.

Lets also see if we cant convert some of the trucks into SPAA, since we are getting rather close to their airfields. The other half of the trucks can be used for motorized squads or for general transportation.

That was the enemy base?
