Border War MILSIM Special Operations: The Red Talon August 2014

Border War Mil…

Special Operations are a new type of event organized by Border War Crew. Compared to traditional Border War MILSIM battle simulations, Operation Red Talon in August 2014 brought the level of player experience into the heat of the Special Forces Operations. This mid-size invite only event challenged participants in small unit operations in very dense vegetation and intensive CQB with participants from 8 countries gathering for this unique event.

Operation Red Talon offered participants a completely different view on MILSIM gaming compared to traditional large scale award winning Border WAR MILSIM. The focus of the event was on tactical operations of small units where player endurance and experience get heavily challenged.

The event was attended by selected teams and individuals from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Russia, United States, Italy and Belgium. During the day, the temperature rose up to 34 degrees Celsius in the shade. All participants carried all of their gear on their backs for the duration of the event. Operations included intensive CQB missions during day and night as well as in deep black forests.

LACS - LaserTag AirSoft Combo System

During the event. The first prototypes of Border WAR MILSIM anti-vehicle system were tested and used in game. The LACS system was offered as well to participants for testing in CQB and as well in open terrain. Feedback was very positive for the first prototypes.

SCENARIO

The Minacuan Government needed to test a new weapons system in practice. For the experiment, one of the Islands south of Bocalan was chosen in order to find out whether the new weapon system is effective. Recently, the MEF forces are undergoing modernisation and few tenders are running in parallel. The main test shall be between the new Mortar type with a Smart Ammo and a well know medium range Silver Javelin Missile system. Traditional rocket artillery can cause massive damage but is less precise and slower to operate. On the other hand the new mortar ammo is not that precise but a bit faster to deploy. Before the tender is closed government demands a live test to be performed.

ROCTECH Ltd. -  Rocket Technology Ltd .is a global company running and developing various weapon systems as well as space engineering projects. They have  been hired to evaluate the prototype effectiveness of the mortar against the effectiveness of the enhanced rocket artillery. ROCTECH operatives joined the paratroopers and were as well deployed on the island.

As a test ground a smaller island south of Bocalan in the Red Coral Sea – called Isla De Pisces was chosen.  The island has been for some time terrorized by so-called Freedom Fighters of Battambarang. The Freedom Fighters are followers of the Coral Dragon, one of the local Nuevo Ordenar Leaders. There is a  bright future to all who follow the new order which is a traditional false promise by all such demagogues – a well known story in the Bocalan area. In its current state of emergency in the Bocalan area MEF wouldn’t invade Isla De Pisces, as there are much hotter topics in the region to focus on - but for a weapons test it is just perfect. A company of ANIB (Armada National De La Isla Bocalan) Special Forces have been deployed with few of the new weapon systems on the Island in order to pursue the insurgents and test the system in practice. ROCTECH Operatives shall measure the effects to produce non-biased findings needed for the governmental tender.

One thing remained hidden from the raiders. There was a hack on the military communications system a few weeks ago and information about this operation leaked out to the weapons technology black market. Freedom Fighters were informed about the action and also they were given a very lucrative offer from a well-protected secret buyer. “1000 new rifles with ammo plus several million Bocalan dollars to the one who will bring an undamaged ROCTECH chip for High Altitude Flights and Aiming an very special recent technology used for navigation of the Silver Javelin Missile.”

SCENARIO OUTCOME

ANIB Forces were able to localize all practice targets and successfully managed to test weapons on them. ROCTECH Operatives successfully managed to perform damage assessment checks whilst the Freedom fighters used the momentum to launch counteroffensive in the afternoon in order to push governmental forces away from the area. During raid on an ANIB resupply point, the Freedom Fighters managed to capture one of the Roctech Navigation Chips.

Rest of the information remains classified.
