Playing Mexico side.
Caribbean Hat Dance is not in rhythm today, so CapitanPiluso will try
to give these guys a "Caribbean Night Fever" dance.
My OOB is:
TF Azueta:
DE Azueta, FF Allende (1 Puma loaded with paratroopers),FSG Tormenta
(1 Iroquois with paratroopers and nice Gabrielle misls) ,FSG Huracan
(1 Fennec Helo) and FF Victoria(1 puma on board with paratroopers)
Tocumen base:
1 KC 135 Stratocaster and one Global Hawk
Tapachula base:
1 E2, 1 Emb-145h and 10 F5-E AAW equipped.
Today´s task:
Find and destroy a terrorist coastal base SW Juancacho city.
My TF begins some 150 nm East from the coast,and the approach will be
to move my entire force towards the enemy base.
Meanwhile will launch the Stratocaster course South with intermitent emissions
to see what´s going on around.
For sure my TF will encounter some trouble ahead, but this is what
I came for.:freak:
Soon the Stratocaster finds several skunks ( 12 or 15) classified as merchants and
two boogies are flying near the coast,may be they are ready to
attack when my ships get near.
Clicking and studying each surface contact reveals that two of them
are radiating with fire control emissions,so I clasify them as hostiles,
they are 35 nm NE from my TF.One of them is probably an FF Padilla class,
this is a bad news since she may carry Exocets,but once I get closer
I spent all of my sweet Harpoons and some minutes later one of them
is sinking and the other is badly damaged.
One boogie appears flying South but I note it too late,my FSG Tormenta is
sinking....a load of sea Sparrows sends this bad guy down to the sea.
My TF goes on at cruise speed, we are getting near when I hear the voice
that really hate :"This is alpha X ray, new torpedo contact"...damm
I can´t even rest for a while and now a sub wants to kill me??
Flank speed with a 90 degrees course change,but let´s fire 4 NT-37 torps
before...a nice booom sounds two minutes later and I am happy again.
The road seems to be clear now, so go ahead and launch the helos with
the paratroopers,ordered to attack but two are killed and only one succeeds.
(I must have suppressed the coastal radar first)
The TF is near and now I can fire and make some damage,but will not
reach the VC because I loose a ship and probably killed some civilians.
So this scen will need a second try to save my honour the right way.
This scen is interesting,also you can not attack with the F5 because
they will run out of fuel before they reach the patrol zone,they can
land and refuel at Tocumen but must return to Mexico and this condition
adds some more difficulty,then you ´ll have to face enemy planes only
with AAW guns and CIWS s as a last (and not always effective) option.
Thanks to M.Gellis and Herman for this scen, really a good one.
