MISSION 1 2 versus 1 Base attack
T
ime 20 minutes
This mission sees 2 squads attack uphill to capture a
position (represented by a flag) in the top right part of the
training field. Defenders may start anywhere in the top half of
the training area.
The attackers start position on the bottom edge of the
training field. To win, the attacking squads must have at least
1 soldier within 10 metres of the flag by mission end and there
must be no defenders within 10 metres of the flag at mission
end.
Each fire team will have 1 opportunity to defend and 2
opportunities to attack over the course of 3 exercises.
Mission 2 Extradition
Time 20 minutes
You need to escort one of the Staff Sergeants from the bottom
left of the battlefield to the top right within 20 minutes. If
the staff sergeant reaches the flag alive, then the mission is
achieved. The ambushing team is considered the defenders.
The Staff Sergeant is considered injured and can only take 3
hits before being killed. Two fire teams are assigned to escort
the staff sergeant while one fire team lies in ambush.
Mission 3 Flag in the Middle
T
ime 20 minutes
In this mission, each fire team is against each other fire
team. A target flag is placed somewhere near the centre of the
battlefield, placed by the Staff Sergeant after the two
attacking fire teams are being positioned in opposite ends of
the battlefield. The defending fire team then has 2 minutes to
position themselves for defence before the game start whistle is
blown. This mission is scheduled for 20 minutes. The defending
team win if neither of the other teams capture the flag within
that time. Only one attacking team can win and of course the
attacking fire teams can fire at each other, so this is a
3-cornered contest.
Again over 3 exercises, each fire team will have an
opportunity to defend.
