Operation PaperCut: Rough Draft Mission Idea (my first)

[PaperCut 10]

Hello Community!

**This mission takes place three years after Harvest Red**

Operation PaperCut

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

Three years after the liberation of ChernarussiaThe Chedaki has reared its ugly head once again.

Current intel shows the entire Chernarussian coastline is well defended with AA positions dotting the coastline at 500 meter intervals.That being said, prepare to get wet Marines...

There are a plethora of objectives that need accomplishing spanning quite a large area. Since there are so many AA sites you and your team will be inserted Via RIIB in the area that we plan to set up a base of operations once certain objectives are completed by your team.

Your team is the tip of the spear. All of your objectives are to be done as clandestinely as possible and once completed will make retaking the region that much easier later. Your teams actions (if completed) will have serious negative repercussions for the Chedaki.

Objective 1: Locate the RADAR Station

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

Upon infil, your first objective is to locate the main northern RADAR station in the Olsha area, recon enemy elements and mark its position on your map. You are not to engage the RADAR station since aside from the AA sites, we have virtually no information of what we're up against.

Objective 2: Locating three Chadaki Leaders

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

During Operation Harvest Red, a force recon team callsign "Razor" on operations near the town of Pusta rescued a man named Dr. Sova from Chedaki insurgents. Later, Razor Team was embarked on Operation Manhattan where they once again met up with Dr. Sova who proceeded to inform Razor Team the location of Chedaki sentry camps that Razor Team was commisioned to locate and destroy.

Even though Dr. Sova didn't agree with the Chedaki in any way, if a Chedaki showed up on his doorstep, being the man he was, he would'nt deny treatment. While speaking with Razor Team, Dr. Sova cut the meeting short after noticing a patient of his peering out of his window watching him talk with the marines. It is beleived that this patient informed Chedaki brass of Dr. Sova's cooperation wityh the marines and radio'ed the situation immediatley to the Chedaki. Within hours of the conversation with Sova, Razor team learned that Krasnostav was attacked shortly after they left. Dr.Sova was killed along with his Wife and Daughter and many other Krasnostavians.

We have recently been contacted by a man claiming to be Sova's son Mikhail. Apparently Mikhail has been working diligently to find out exactly who pulled the strings in the murder of his family. Mikhail was in the United States at the time attending college. Many weeks passed before he found out what happened. Mikhail has also admitted involvement sporadic assaults against the Chedaki and claims to have taken out the two infantry squads responsible for the killing of his family and townsfolk.

Sova says he has information about Chedaki positions, movements and sympathizers: including weapon suppliers, narcotic operations and political figures all supplying the Chedaki with funds, intel and resources to continue their Nazi-like campaign against the Chernarussian native populace.

He knows of three key individuals which need to be captured/killed.

1) Nikoli Polovitsi-Head of the Narcotics Operations.

2) Roman Rankovik-Polovitsi's right-hand man.

3) Boris Stolichnaya-Head of all resource and supply movements.

According to Sova, Polovitsi and Rankovic should be overseeing two seperate Opium Operations. Stolichnaya is expected to be at his residence, if not, Sova assures us he and his cohorts can and will attain their daily schedules.

Objective 3: Gather intel of enemy convoy

-----------

Once the three leaders are dispatched, you are to rendezvous with a Chedaki defector using extreme caution. It is not likely that our contact is playing us for fools, but the possibility is always there. The contacts name is Lucious Petrovik, callsign RiverRat.By the time you meet with him he is expected to have the details of Chedaki weapon and supply shipments moving by convoy.

Two things will be accomplished with this objective:

1: The destruction of the convoy (obviously)

2: Uncovering the destination of the convoy.

Uncovering the destination can be done in two ways:

1: Stop the convoy and search/question the Chedaki

2: Follow the convoy to see where it goes.

If at all possible, you should attempt to complete these objectives without drawing any attention, once the three leaders and convoy are annihilated, you may then return to the RADAR station to destroy it as well.

We want you to save the convoy and RADAR station for last since we don't want to spook any of the three targets of assassination.

It is also recomended to take out all three chedaki leaders simultaneously so as not to spook them.

***End Mission***

So thats it so far, I'm guessing this is way too much for me to tackle for my first mission creation. I'm also debating on wether or not The player will meet Dr. Sova's son.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :)

Also, is everything I intend to do in this mission possible?

Perfectly doable. Godspeed. ;)

Sounds good mate, what did you mean when you said don't engage the RADAR Station aside from the AA, does that mean don't engage unless you're going to do the AAs aswell, good idea all in all, good luck with it.

[PaperCut 10]

It means dont engage anything until all three leaders are killed. I forgot to add a comma in the sentence. All that is known of the enemies positions/etc is the AA positions and the intel from the defector and Mikhail Sova.

The only thing that worries me is the mission may be somewhat boring while locating the RADAR station. After the RADAR is located, I want the squad to split up into three groups so each team can set up to kill each leader. During that time I think most players-including myself, will just fast forward-save-fast forward.

I was also thinking of how to go about the creation of this mission... would it be in my best interest to create several missions then use the merge function?

Like so:

Mission 1: Locate radar station

Mission 2: Locate and kill Polovitsi

Mission 3: Locate and kill Rankovic

Mission 4: Locate and kill Stolichnaya

Mission 5: Locate the Defector-Assault/Follow convoy

Mission 6: Exfil (I would create a trigger that causes reinforcements {that are way to large for the marines to defeat}to hunt down the marines once detected by the convoy, making the exfil exciting)

So far, all I've created is the Radar station/S.A.M. site complete with sandbag fortifications, bunkers, patrols and searchlights (of which I found and used a searchlight script so they move back and forth)

Then after creating the radar fort, I copied it several times and placed them along the shorelines of Chernarussia on several hill-tops. But this worries me as well, wouldnt all those SAM sites create lots of lag? I have no intentions to create missions to destroy all of those sites, so the player will never see them, but I want to make it realistic, if those sites are not there, then theres no reason NOT to insert the team by chopper...

iono, I think this is too much for me to handle for my first mission. I spent all of last night reading OFPECS beginners tutorial (which I might add is EXTREMELY useful, heres a link)

http://www.ofpec.com/tutorials/index.php?action=show&id=14&page=4

I think for now, I will create the assassination missions and upload it for beta test.

I thought it would be bad-a$& to kill all three individuals simultaneously.
