Need ideas for a un/middle eastern campaign

[Hatchet 0]

I have a general idea of what I want to create, it's going to be based around the UN invovment in a country like Somalia or Iraq. Here's the general story line:

June 1994

Due to a rebellion, UN forces have enter (country's name) to give humanitarian aid to the civillians and to ensure that peace is restored between the government and the rebel forces.

1 month later

Due to UN intervention the rebel forces have begun to target UN convoys. In response the UN has tightened security and the US has sent in 2,000 Marines.

Spring 1995

Rebel forces have begun to push the UN out of (country's name). You, a Marine Colonel, have been intrusted with holding supply lines and escorting the U.N. out of (country's name).

---------------------------------------------------

The first mission is going to be an escort mission, you command a squad of M2A2's (Bradley's) and have to escort a UN convoy (mostly trucks and jeeps w/ MG's), to a ase to pickup some UN soldiers returing from battle. On the way though there is going to a a road block (mines, 3 BMP's and a rebel infantry squad)

I can't think of what else to add, any suggestions would be great.

If it were me, I'd use that 24mb UN mod first of all. I really like the 'extras' that came with it. Now then on with my brainstorming...

-I've never been a big one on tanks or things of the such. Keep the armor limited. I find OFP more fun and exciting with little infantry pawns more so than Sabot.

-I'd be working on this premise for #1... UN forces are trying to urgently send aid to a city (somewhere on this island) a few ambulances and some clean, pure, drinking water. Thing is, the rebel's are in need of medical supplies and water themselves. The rebel's camp out with maybe one bmp, a sniper and maybe a handful of men on each side of the road with a land mine in the middle of the road. I see the UN leading this convoy with a Jeep w/Machine Gun ... I'm thinking it would look like this: Jeep w/MG > Ambulance > Water > M1A1 > Water > UN Ural > Ambulance > Water > Jeep w/MG

That would put the heavy hitting M1A1 in the middle of the convoy - which would put them in a position to support wherever needed. Now, perhaps the rebel's outnumber the UN forces... so they call for help... Your Bradley squad is called in to support the convoy.

Dunno... it's just me thinking outloud...

sounds good, the convoy I have right now is setup like this:

Humvee, Jeep w/mg, Ambulance, Water, Ural, Ural, Ambulance, jeep w/ mg

I've got it setup so that a rebel cannon (M101A1) fires at the humvee, then the guys in the trucks disembark and engage the rebel forces consisting of 2 squads (middle eastern resistance) and a bmp.

You play as a blackhawk and provide ariel support, you'll have to fly in reenforcments and take out the wounded.

or

You play a UN infantry commander and have to go clear the road ahead (secure cross roads etc.) so that the convoy can press on.
