Strange Telemetry [Batrep #12]

United States - North American Combine Command [USNACC - 1] 03:34:07 zulu

Several short-burst ELF radio transmissions from just outside of the old Sheffield Nuclear Plant are detected by SATINT USNACC-1 EURCOM relays. 

INCOMING TRANSMISSION TO USNACC.

Priority: Normal.

Title: Unidentified radio burst near Sheffield, UK. Close proximity to site of former Sheffield OGREWERX factory.

Source: undetermined.

Destination: undetermined.

Anomalous Machine Language. unidentified.

Objectives: Reconnaissance in force. Establish control of Sheffield OGREWERX area of operations. Ensure no ongoing United Kingdom operations are active. Eliminate any UK presence in AO without sacrificing operational effectiveness. The use of Tactical Nuclear Missiles is authorized. 

Strategic Air Transport will be standing by and remain in the AO until the Evac signal 'Geronimo' is called.

MILTEK MEMORANDUM FOR IMMEDIATE CIRCULATION

From: Chief Operating Officer - Miltek Corporation

To: 7th Brigade Command Department; MiltekCom; LogisticsSupplyCom;

To all concerned departments and personnel:

The MilTek Corporation has been called on to meet contractual obligations through the Pan-European Intelligence Service and the ECC as the premiere rapid-response units in the British Isles. 

Assignment: Meeting engagement with US NAC troops deploying in and around the former Sheffield OGREWERX plant.

Area of Operations: Sheffield, United Kingdom.

Target: United States NAC units moving toward the area of Sheffield, England. 

Background: The United States North American Combine Command has deployed combat resources inside the ECC [English] Area of Operations near the old Sheffield OGREWERX factory. These forces have a large slow-moving artillery train which has a high probability of including nuclear missiles. The USNACC-1 Command is in direct violation of Pan-European and British interests. It is unclear as to the objectives of this force.

SigInt has provided us a window of opportunity to launch a strike against this heavy recon force of 18 hours. The mission of the USNACC is unclear, but must be high priority to move this size force into the English mainland. 

Several low-bandwidth ELF signals were detected in the immediate area of the OGREWERX approximately 48 hours before the deployment of NAC forces. This may be a reaction force to determine the source of those signals.  

At this time, no intelligence assets are aware of the nature of these transmissions. The signals terminated and have not been detected again.

The 7th Brigade will deploy a large Combined Arms Force to the AO and eliminate the US NAC units. The 7th Tigers will deploy all assets that can be combat ready within 10 hours to include tactical missiles. Per the contract Service Level Agreements in place, and with no PE or ECC units in the AO, the 7th is Free to Fire First. The 7th Brigade OOB can be read here:

This operation is expected to be casualty heavy as the 7th Brigade may need to dig-in and defend the area. Several Companies of infantry will be deployed for this purpose.

The Analytics Department has deemed 40% losses to be acceptable, though the Strategic Planning Board does not agree to this estimate with the threat of Cruise Missile Crawlers being in the operations area.

Good hunting Tigers!

Scenario - Meeting Engagement

Forces involved: 350 Points of MilTek Corporations 7th Brigade vs. 350 points of the United States North American Combine Command

Objective - No Objectives defined. Kill Points only.  Forces will deploy from the table edge.

The Strategic Map:

The Tactical Map:

The Miltek 7th pushed two flights of GEVs forward to get eyes on targets.

The MilTek right flank with GEV-CMD vehicle in the maneuver element. 

The USNACC-1 forces spread out to meet the opposition forces in and around Sheffield.

The maneuver element on the right flank keeps pace with the slow movers deploying into the urban enclave. 

MilTek GEV Flight 1 takes first blood on the US forces.

USNACC heavy armor and artillery move into Sheffield. 

The MilTek Commander takes the nuclear initiative as First Strike was authorized. 5 Heavy Tanks and 2 Light Tanks were vaporized and three Super Heavy Tanks and 2 Light Tanks were disabled for a turn.

MSL GEV's skirmish with the Heavy Armor and Artillery on the Eastern edge of the battlefield.

MilTek Infantry and Artillery finish deploying in the urban area while the maneuver element consolidates on the hills and in the forests. 

And then the Americans unleash the first of two nukes which would obliterate the MilTek right flank. 

The American missile took out exactly 5 heavy tanks and 2 light tanks equaling the toll that the British forces exacted with theirs. 

The USNACC pulled the bulk of the armor into the center of the battlefield and got ready for the final push on the MilTek ad-hoc stronghold...

The American Commander contemplates the current battlefield conditions. The battlefield looked to be firmly in his control at this point.

GEV Flight 2 harassed the American armor in the middle, but was overrun. Only the GEV commander, 'Tiger 2' was able to separate and fall back.

The US Commander fires the other missile at 'point-blank' range for a missile... but the British artillery take it out over his forces.

MilTek Infantry and Artillery hunker down in the cover of the urban area and wait for the Americans to strike.

The USNACC Commander reluctantly orders the advance against the dug-in British positions.

The British Commander decides that dying en mass inside cover is not the British way, and orders the armor forward into the middle of the American lines:

The MilTek armor takes its' toll on the advancing Americans. This was the last stand for the MilTek 7th, and a very British gamble.

At this point, the battle came down to straight dice - and the MilTek Commander had his GEV-CMD vehicle positioned so the 10-inch command radii covered almost every firing unit, giving them a +1 on the Attack Dice. It was a "Bloody Smashing success!" for the British gunners.

The USNACC-1 Commander calls Geronimo at this point and begins to withdraw from the field and ready the remaining American units for air transport.

 

The MilTek Commander allows the NAC units the peaceful withdrawal and evac from the Area of Operations without terms.

The source of the strange telemetry was not discovered.

MILTEK MEMORANDUM FOR IMMEDIATE CIRCULATION

From: Chief Operating Officer - Miltek Corporation

To: MilTek_BOD; MilTek_CMD;7th Brigade Command Department; MiltekComHR; LogisticsSupplyCom;

To all concerned departments and personnel:

The recent action in the Sheffield Area by the 7th Brigade resulted in a complete withdrawal of USNACC forces in the area.

Due to the bravery and valor of the 3rd company 'SuperCat' Super Heavy Company, the Brigade XO, The 2nd Armor Company CO and XO were all KIA.

The HR Department has opened up these positions to be filled until further notice and encourages all qualified officers to apply.

There will be Krumpets and Tea served in the HR Breakroom/HQ Facility at 0900 hours tomorrow.

Cheers,

OGRE Batrep #11: Through Fields of Black Smoke

  OGRE Battle Report [BatRep #11]

Through Fields of Black Smoke

MILTEK MEMORANDUM FOR IMMEDIATE CIRCULATION

From: Chief Operating Officer - Miltek Corporation

To: 7th Brigade Command Department; MiltekCom; LogisticsSupplyCom;

To all concerned departments and personnel:

The MilTek Corporation has won a short-term contract through the Pan-European Intelligence Service and the ECC. 

Assignment: Surgical strike operation intended to reduce or eliminate combat effectiveness of defending troops deployed in and around a high-priority manufacturing facility. To extract all Q-bit inventory and anything else that is of intelligence importance from the facility.

Area of Operations: Dulce, New Mexico.

Target: Manufacturing facility owned by the holding companies funding the North American Combine. This manufacturing facility fabricates computer chips for Q-bit AI machines used in OGRE synthetic intelligence platforms. 

Background: The North American Combine has recently reallocated their combat assets away from this facility and have contracted out the defense of the facility to a Private Military Contractor [designation: "American Eagle PMC"]. 

++Note the AE PMC assets helped the IRS forces against the ECC++

SigInt has provided us a window of opportunity to launch a strike against this target of 72 hours. During this time, the AE PMC will have minimal assets on the ground while the bulk of their forces are railheading to the site.

The 7th Brigade will deploy a small armored Task Force supported by Light GEVs and Artillery.  You are expected to operate for a maximum of 12 hours to complete the operation. The TF will airlift to the Area of Operations and the BRIGADE COMMANDER [Charlie 71A] and the BRIGADE XO [C72] will deploy in SuperCats with this strike force and command the operation from the ground. This is a priority contract and bonuses will be paid for reclamation of the Q-bit assets. 

Intelligence: The OpFor [American Eagle Private Military Contractor] Group is expected to be armor heavy with a mix of Super Heavy, Heavy and Light Tanks. This force is likely to have a small contingent of GEV assets as well.

This operation is a high-risk high reward type contract. The Analytics Department has deemed 80% losses to be acceptable, though the Strategic Planning Board does not foresee this many casualties.

Good hunting Tigers!

Scenario - Meeting Engagement

Forces involved: 120 Points of NA Combine "American Eagle Private Military Contractors" vs. 120 points of MilTek Corporation assets

Objective - No Objectives defined. Kill Points only.  Forces will deploy from the table edge.

The Strategic Map:

The Tactical Map:

The MilTek Corporation initial advance corridor toward the Dulce manufacturing plant.

The AE PMC response

MilTek C71A moves the strike force straight into Dulce with no resistance.

The AE PMC Commander responds quickly, drawing first blood.

LGEV and Light Tanks begin skirmishing around the plant. 

MilTek LGEVs take out a heavy tank and then retreat back into the industrial area.

C71A SuperCat and 1st Platoon E Company push into the AE PMC armor.

C72 and 1st platoon D Company turn left into the SuperHeavies taking positions on the hill. 

The American Eagle units at the front of the ill-fated spearhead are wiped out - but the flanking hill looms over the MilTek forces. C71A orders an advance.

Crimson Tiger assets advance through the industrial park.

MilTek Artillery makes short work of the Super Heavies, but not before they took  a toll on the MilTek advance wiping out 2 heavies and white smoking another.

MilTek 7th took out the last armor squadron and the 1 GEV left hiding behind the hill, for a total wipe of the American Eagle Contractors. The MilTek Commander ordered the hasty removal of intelligence assets and withdrawal of forces through fields of black smoke.

The MilTek 7th Task Force would take the Q-bit assets and head to the airlift AO to the south unmolested. Bonuses were paid!

MilTEk Total Victory!
