Everon, 1989 General Alexei Zhukov- an ex-soviet commander, and leader of a small army of the island of Everon- has staged a coup and taken martial control of a once democratic microstate in the mid-Atlantic region.

Initial landings are beginning, with the aim to secure a beach head on the Southern shores of Everon...

Mission

Execution

Commander's Intent
The purpose of this mission is to establish a beachhead on Southeast Everon by assaulting Saint-Pierre via Anchor Peninsula. A secondary element of this purpose is recon by force to determine the exact composition, capability and command of the Soviet occupation.

Tasks and Sequencing
ANVIL prepares shipboard for deployment via helicopter to Anchor Peninsula. All teams embark supplied and ready for an initial engagement. Leaders must ensure their team's readiness. In this strange new environment, we must mutually support from start to finish, including equipment checks, advice in the field and with patience. SHIELD 4 prepares and coordinates for an initial FARP to support the Saint-Pierre efforts. PHASE 1 ANVIL deploys to Anchor Peninsula, ready for contact. ANVIL 1 secures the LZ. Priority is on ensuring a path off the peninsula exists. Decisively engage and advance as necessary. ANVIL 2 prepares to manoeuvre immediately. Bound with Anvil 1. SHIELD 4 inserts with the logistical train and prepares a temporary FARP for sustainment in the field. Troop transport must be provided for ASAP. ANVIL callsigns advance on the fishing village of Lancre from its northeast. A chapel marks the pivot in. Anvil platoon secures the perimeter while Shield provides sustainment for a LOGPAK and motorised transport. PHASE 2 ANVIL mounts the provided transport. The platoon orientates along the road south for WP 1. Action on contact: DISMOUNT & ENGAGE Past Crag Point, the platoon mounts the assault on Saint-Pierre. OBJ B1: Secure the harbour area. OBJ B2: Secure the town centre bridge. OBJ B3: Secure the west bank. PHASE 3 ALL CALLSIGNS are resupplied with a LOGPAK at a position to be determined. As conditions allow, a final and secondary objective is to seize Montfort Castle. ALL CALLSIGNS advance through the woods in a bounding fashion. Naval artillery will be called to soften defences.
