Operation Name: Angola
Engagement Number: 12
Situation: The battle between the 60th Molatian Company and SESO has slowed the Bantu advance. The Mawt Nation has mobilized their troops on the Western front to capture the largest city in Isla Duala: Bolabongo. This metropolis was once the capital of the former government. It holds the seat of power in the region, and it likely houses the current President. As such, the enemy defenses are brutal. We will need to spend several weeks of planning before we can engage it.
The first step is setting up another FOB right by Bolabongo, conjoined with Airport Port Swinley, to work with the Mawties. Their logistics crew have been preoccupied with moving their army away from the AO of the previous engagement. SESO will pick up their slack and deliver a fuel payload from FOB Haven to Swinley. This fuel will be used as part of a classified attack maneuver onto Bolabongo.
The tide has been high across the region, causing most land bridges to be inaccessible. We have had our engineering crew build a wooden bridge across one point in the river. This bridge will be utilized by SESO to deliver the payload and enter the vast Gerenuk Desert. True no man’s land, the desert sits in between the Mawt lands and the Bantu territory. Our UAV detected enemy armour on the Eastern perimeter of the desert, likely a patrolling force around Bolabongo. Expect them to attack when you cross the desert.
Once the payload is delivered to Swinley, Work can be made towards setting up the FOB.

Enemy forces are the Bantus. Independent forces are the Mawties, who are only defending Airporto Porto Swinley.
Bantu forces are mostly armored tanks and APCs. The rest are armed technicals with grenade launchers or rocket launchers. They are out of view for Hotel 2 as they are on the Eastern perimeter of Gerenuk Desert.
The Mawties are defending the Airporto Porto Swinley with mechanized infantry and statics. This time, they will be unable to support with Angel CAS.
Hotel 1 will provide their helicopter for Bravo. Hotel 2 will provide the UAV operator with thermal vision over the AO. A technical armed with an M2 machine gun and a technical armed with an SPG launcher are available in the garage. They may be slingloaded with Hotel 1.
FOB Haven's garage also contains 3 BRDM-2 APCs, and a T-72B with front armor plating. These should be used to deliver the 6 fuel trucks payload.
