Operation Red Mercury
Mission Scenario:
Following the fall of the Rebellion led by General Lermontov the Georgian Government supported by a coalition of western powers is leading an offensive into Russia.
For failing to prosecute the members of Lermontov’s organisation operating in Russia involved in trafficking Red Mercury for the purpose of making chemical weapons, U.S and Georgian forces have pushed North out of Georgia and currently occupy Nalchick and Mineral Nye Vody Airports.
This in turn led to a large scale aerial conflict lasting 3 days in which both sides suffered heavy losses.
Today, 2 weeks after the conflict began both sides have committed to a long and hard fight involving heavily armored convoys strategically placed in the Caucus Mountains in the hope of securing the range to mount a counter offensive.
Mission Brief (Simulation):
-Operation Red Mercury is a Medium scale air dominance mission, with both sides being separated by just 140 miles. This means bullseye is roughly 65nm or 6 mins flying time for both teams.
-Aerial refueling is available on both sides less than 10nm behind the primary Airbases of Maykop and Mineral V.
-Both sides have 5 Target Area’s each to destroy all roughly the same distance and flight times for each team. TA’s on both sides are complete with identical units, both blue and red ground vehicles are current and ex Russian stock. This means no side has an advantage in the level of armour deployed on the field.
-Both sides have identical SAM platforms to defend primary Airbases and strategic locations around the map.
-Operation Red Mercury is designed to be a completely neutral 50 / 50 fight with no side having any advantage in terms of hardware or location.
