Comrades in Arms Discussion Board

Since we haven't been able to do one of our pre-planned co-ops lately, and they attract lots of players, and no one seems to be stepping up to the plate to organize one, I'll do it. Unless one of the CiA guys has any objection, let's start slotting in for

Jihad Hafifi Wala Inzhamhum[/td][/tr][/table]

to be played on Jan. 24th 2010 at 21:00 CET

Author: Marto
Filename: @wg_co_16_jihad_hafifi_wala_inzhamhum.catintro
Version: 1.2
Island: CAT Afghanistan (Cat Intro)
Addons: WGL, CATIntro, FML Civilians (all part of our usual Sunday repertoire)

Slots: 16
Sides: Resistance (players) vs. US.
Briefing Porn: No (Marto, did you run out!!!???)

Kurtz's Short Description: find weapons, ambush and destroy a US convoy, and return to Asadabad.

Other comments: I'd say we need a quorum of at least 10 players showing up somehow or another at 21:00 to make this mission enjoyable with this style of playing. Otherwise, I guess we'll just have to try another mission and maybe postpone this one for another time.

This particular mission just looked interesting. There's never any guarantee that a mission will work, but this one looked fairly well thought-out. Though there's only 16 slots, I figure we should have enough room because we've had fewer people coming in lately.

The players start out with no weapons. We'll have to find them in ammo crates &c. We do, however, start out with an unplayable AI with a suicide bomb which should help us take out initial enemies. Besides him, AI slots are automatically disabled.

Marto's Briefing:

Plan:

You start in Asadabad.

Mullah Ijazz Bin Zwobotashaheed Mit Sauerbraten [lol --Ed.] has provided us with some ammunition!

RPG's smuggled in the white car and mortar rounds stashed in the jeep. However we must get our RPG launchers and mortar tube cached by our brothers somewhere on top of the rocks here.

There is an infidel truck convoy due from Khandahar to Herat along the Asadabad road. The Mullah says we have plenty of time to fetch the weapons and ambush the convoy.

Mohammed has volunteered to go to paradise and says he will take care of the ANA outpost in our town. Just tell him to go there when you are ready.

The Mullah says the convoy will be carrying some Stingers in a cargo Humvee - get them if possible!

Objectives:

-- Ambush and destroy the infidel convoy.

-- Bonus: Aquire Stingers from the convoy.

-- Return safely to Asadabad and meet at the Mosque tower for evening prayers.

Details:

Taloqan and Herat are garrisoned by the infidel dogs and have artillery protection. Steer clear of these Redzones. East of the Baghlan road is patrolled by UAV's. Don't venture there brother unless you want a Hellfire up your ringhole.

Beware of pesky recon helicopters and any vanguard, don't be spotted or the convoy will use an alternate route.

There is a UNESCO aid tent in Asadabad if needed. Ahmed is off again molesting some goats, so feel free to use his mechanical truck if you need any repairs.

Slots

--Not much variety here, remember that we start with no weapons.
--It would be most logical for Alpha Black leader to be platoon leader or supreme commander of the entire operation.
--If no one takes that slot, I will. This should be a good incentive for someone to take that slot. ;D

slot me in alpha black 4

Gosh, it looks like I should have picked "corner to corner," everyone seems interested in that one. 

Well, if enough people are interested in it tomorrow, we'll give this one a go.

Sorry still away, but if I was around I'd slot in..

Guess you could count me in. Slot me as leader Alpha Red

Bummer. When are you getting back?

Slot me in Alpha red, doesn't matter which slot, to make teams even. Although I hope that more people will join, if it stay like this it will be just like last Sunday (same players, too).

See you in 45 mins.

Well, if no one else shows up, we'll just have to have fun without them.

I will drop in just before 2100

I'm trying to get on some time this afternoon. Gotta get some groceries for the football games tonight right now, though. Catch y'all later!

Well, why not start with the mission and get over with it instead of hogging server with respawn missions for 1 hour first? >
Not everyone love those types of missions that much.

I don't quite understand. Respawn missions? You mean Nogova Virus? The players don't respawn in that one, though I imagine the zombies are createunit'd continuously.

After we got done with Nogova Virus, it was about 21:06. I asked the players who were there (including at least one CiA member, Anguis) if they were interested in going forward with this co-op that I had pre-planned. As I recall some said yes and no one objected, so we went ahead with it. Since no one complained about a time of 21:00 in the 6 days that this thread was up, I'm not really sure what I was supposed to do differently. :-\

Well, several players have died both 2 and 3 times in that mission.

Well if its respawn in that mission i couldent notice it in game, could be that the "no its on me" stuff are respawns but on the other hand both Kid and Kurtz was killed and was out of the game. So in that case its the best use of respawn i have sene.
