AW2 – OEF Bishqab

---

Taken from the real-life Operation Enduring Freedom Campaign, this is the very first mission, executed by Green Berret Team ODA 595 teaming up with Northern Alliance fighters, led by Uzbek militia leader Abdul Rashid Dostum

Mission

1. ‘Lase’ the vehicles guarding the village for airstrikes (Javelins simulate the target designator as well as the player-timed ‘airstrike’)
   
   
2. Clear the village of Taliban and al-Qaida fighters
   
   
3. In case of mortar attack: take out spotters around the village (or the mortar crews, but that’s more tricky)
   
   
4. Take out any reinforcements that try to retake the village
   
   
   
   

Important:

• AC130 Spectre Gunship is at the player’s disposal after sunset (no really, look up after dark and enjoy the lightshow as well as the extra firepower)
  
  
• If you want to mortars to stop, take out the spotters guiding them…or the crew firing them
  
  
  
  
  
  

Notes:

• Watch out for snipers, machinegunners, technicals, tanks, BTRs RPGs, Anti-Aircraft guns mounted on flatbeds, patrols and counter-attacks !
  
• Spawn point are hidden in the ground, objects or buildings. Just stand near them to take the spawnpoint
  
• I realize that originally there were two parties fighting the taliban/al-Qaida, however I didn’t have a memory left for 5000 militiamen, so in this reinactment the human player takes on both roles.
