                              -Echoes of Battle-



     Time Limit    : 40:00:00                          Area: Mt. Marcello
     Quota         : 2/3
     OP Leader     : A: Warlock       B: Quox         C: Snake Pit
     Mission Type  :    Anti-Ground     Anti-Ground      Anti-Air

     Main Objective: Capture Bartolomeo Fortress and sweep Khesed Island
                     of all Estovakian forces.

     Starting Points:

     1.	Logistics Route Assault Support (Air-to-Ground)
     2. Gun Site Capture Support (Air-to-Ground)
     3. Electronic Support Aircraft Defense (Air-to-air)


     Same setup as before. Bring in some UGBs or if you want, you can
     bring XMA4s if you plan to complete Operation C first then go back to
     the return line and switch to UGBs.


     ++----------------------++
     || OPERATION A: WARLOCK ||
     ++----------------------++

     Objective: Assist the Warlock Separate Battalion’s assault on the
                enemy position.


     Warlock will be attacking from the west. Go ahead of them and take
     out any enemy fortifications along the way. The bridges have
     guntrains which are really tough so multiple missile hits maybe
     needed to destroy them. Use the UGBs against those tightly enclosed
     targets.

     Work your way until all primary targets are destroyed. The operation
     will complete once you eliminate all threats posed to Warlock
     Battalion.


     ++-------------------++
     || OPERATION B: QUOX ||
     ++-------------------++

     Objective: Assist the Quox Armored Battalion’s assault on the enemy
                position.


     Pretty much the same as Warlock’s operation. Get rid of any targets,
     specially bunkers and howitzers. Continue destroying them until all
     of them are completely destroyed and Quox reaches the final
     checkpoint.

     You may want to consider taking out green or secondary targets since
     they still pose a threat until all primary targets are taken out.


     ++------------------------++
     || OPERATION C: SNAKE PIT ||
     ++------------------------++

     Objective: Defend the Electronic Support Plane, Snake Pit

     You may want to complete this as your first operation. Snake Pit’s
     ESM will be a great help for completing the other two operations and
     the second part of the mission.

     To start off, the primary targets here are the F/A-18 Superhornets
     which are good fighters but not that exceptional that your F-16C
     can’t handle. Aside from that, there will be other secondary enemy
     aircraft that want some piece of the action so give it to them if you
     can.

     Enemy ESM will be active around the mountain as well so make sure to
     drop some bombs on them to make life a bit easier. After getting rid
     of all primary enemy aircraft, the operation completes.


     MISSION UPDATE:

     Once the mission update activates, the remaining enemy forces will be
     concentrated in the last portion of the mountains. Also, two of the
     Strigon Team members will appear as well. They will rather hard to
     hit with your current plane but with patience and ESM, you may be
     able to shoot them down. Otherwise, order your allied units and
     wingman to attack them while you do your bombing runs.


     Destroy all targets and the mission completes. Your rank and total
     points will depend on how efficient you are in destroying enemy
     targets and sometimes, how quickly as well.
