Hi I am getting builders in to replace the bedroom ceilings after the bad storm last month. Pc will be packed away for the duration so I expect it will be after next weekend. My trouble with an early announcement for date is dependent on getting my shifts for work which are always last minute.
Sorry for the delay

I think we can always do some MP session on the Rotorheads server

The ceilings are going up as i type so hopefully i can dust off the marianas mini campaign before the end of the month. It will come with some apache slots to aid our efforts.
Except i may have to up the difficulty as the apache is such a 1337 machine

Rooms are painted and i should be back up and running over the weekend i have also scheduled a week off work for the first rime in 4 years.
Would anybody fancy continuing the marianas campaign next Thursday or friday.
The mission is made and just needs the addition of apache slots.

Friday is better as my wife is home. I wont need to worry about the Pup of the Baskervilles. But I could work around him if you were flying on Thurs. 17 weeks and he is now 28kg. Still a lot of growing left in him.

I would love to join! I prefer flying Hind or Mi-8, depending on what the mission needs, but own all helos except Apache.
I should be able to make both dates but I have work to do early Thursday evening so I prefer Friday.

Is that 20:00 UTC?
I think @Cib means his British local (summer) time.
I put that into our date widget so the below should show the same moment in time in your own (the viewer’s) timezone.

If it’s an open invite I’ll do what I can to hop in. I’m still a noob in every way in the Apache, but I can bone up on the Huey or UH-60 mod and probably survive the flight.

I’m in with the caveat that I might be a little late depending on work. Most comfortable in Huey, can manage in UH-60, will fake it in Apache. Can fly slicks or guns. Just happy to be here.
Do we use Mudspike discord for coms?
I have kept away from mods for simplicity in organising the flight.
Lots of jobs inserting troops into clearings with hueys, There are floating troop ships to pick up additional troops via CTLD and extend our area of influence toward the FLOT.
Once the forward lines are liberated the final task is the attack on the enemy HQ on the high ground
Our fleet of troop transports
Our Area of Operations.
First tasking for attack choppers is SEAD in preparation for our transport planes bring in some light armour to assist in the operation.
Hueys work to get a good amount of infantry fast roped or disembarked north of the airfield
A wee snipet more just to keep focused, an overall commander would be cool if we have a volunteer
After the succesful operation to take the airport we now have to move troops from the ships to engage the enemy towards the defensive line. We have 2x C130s bringing in light armour to help in our push. We have access to artillary on Tinian with the range to engage targets along the defensive line. It is important to degrade the enemy anti air threats to help our transport planes stay safe on the landing part of the flight.
If we can fight through the lines our next objective is getting troops to the highest point and capturing or destroying the C&C bunker
Phase 1
Attack Choppers wait and escort slicks to Saipan International.
Slicks load up with ground troops using the F10 menu.
Slicks move off to Saipan Airport and wait with power on until the attack choppers degrade any AAA and SAMs
Using terrain and building leap frog forward and fast rope your troops moving forward to the defensive line of the enemy
The Naval units are loaded with troops of the 1st MEF waiting for insertion again F10 for loading troops
Phase 2
The 2nd phase of the operation will begin mopping up and manouvering forward to the enemy HQ on the hill top Spot height 425 @ Okso Takpochao
Endex is the liberation of Hill 425
