Briefing:

Good Morning Gentlemen,

The Norwegians have garrisoned the radar base on the north side of the island where we first started operations. The bad news is that the base has come under attack from Bogdnanov's renegades since twilight. Intel is unable to ascertain what Bogdanov is to gain by doing this. However, our friends need our assistance immediately. Reports indicate that the Russians have moved a sizeable force into the vicinity of the barracks and radio station just to the south of the station. Apparently they are using this area as a launching point to perform another hostile take over of the facility. Your mission tonight is to eliminate the forces in the South and link up with the Norwegians guarding the station. From there you will receive further orders.

Good Luck!

 

Cinemas:

There is a lengthy insertion cinema depicting the Russian forces moving into the southern area of the map and taking positions.

Once the mission objectives are completed there is a cinema of the UH-60 returning to extract the player's platoon.

Encounter Areas:

A - Insertion Zone in the southern portion of the map.

B - A sizeable Russian force patrols this area including a T72.  The T72 has orders to move to the top of the hilltop in the event that the team takes the other route and destroys the BMP on the eastern flank.  From there the T72 will engage the Norwegians.

C - A sizeable Russian force patrols this area including a BMP on veteran and elite levels.

D - Norwegian garrison including fixed MGs. If this garrison becomes overrun, the mission will fail.

E - Entry area for a large counter attack assigned a plan to assault the Radar Communications Center once contact is made with the Norwegians. Size of the force depends on the difficulty level.

F - When the team enters the northern zone it triggers off a convoy that will move to the top of the hill by the Radar Communications Center.  The player will be alerted to its presence from a timer based on the difficulty level. If a vehicle of the convoy is destroyed, the objective is met, but the enemy in the truck will dismount and assault the hilltop.

G - This is where the convoy enters. It also marks the Extraction Zone.

Note that there are various fortified fixed MGs covering key avenues of approach on the way up to the Radar Communications Center.
