OPERATION Bad Javelin

LOCATION: System 23 Librae
Planet: Madrigal
Year: 2528

1st Madrigal UNICOM Armoured Spearhead Regiment

+++ SITUATION +++

The conflict between the Covenant and Humanity has escalated to full scale war. The only hospitable planet in the 23 Librae and a human colony, Madrigal, has come under attack by the aliens. Harvest, Green Hills and Second Base have already fallen. Massive plasma bombardments from orbit eradicated all life that was left on our colonies. We can not let Madrigal fall to the same fate. The covenant has landed shock troops around and in Barcelonova. The entire area is embroiled in fighting. We have lost communications to multiple outposts and stations. The situation is dire. The 1st Armoured Spearhead will make a breakthrough to recapture vital communications infrastructure and deal a heavy blow to the covvie's forward HQ. 

+++ OBJECTIVES +++

1. Enter Barcelonova via the Southeastern bridge
2. Destroy Anti-Air guns at Enix Relay
3. Assault Victor Outpost

+++ BRIEFING +++

1. Operation Bad Javelin will be divided into three operational phases according to the aforementioned objectives. UNICOM has ascertained the safest route for your detachment. It leads straight through Barcelonova. Usage of the raised innercity highway is paramount to the security of your vehicles and mission. Fighting has broken out all over the city, drop pods are landing on every other intersection. Construction of the highway's Northern end is unfinished. As such it will be a tight fit through the construction site.In Barcelonova we expect the enemy to have infantry and light vehicles, as they are still unable to bring the bigger vehicles into the city itself. Furthermore we have received still unconfirmed reports of enemy presence around Ardrada and Mines 87. Be careful when traversing the area towards the first bridge.

2. Use the Northern Bridge to exit the city. From there head North-East to assault Enix Relay Station. Destruction of the enemy Anti-Air guns is your objective. Once completed we will bring in an airborne force to clear, secure and hold the station. Their task is to reestablish communications across the area. UNICOM will release you to your next obejctive. Call UNICOM to start the flight of the airborne assault team.

3. Once released head West to Victor Outpost. This is the enemy's forward HQ. From there assaults and drops are being controlled and coordinated. Taking them out, will greatly ease our efforts, esspecially in Barcelonova. Destroy as many buildings as possible. Since Victor lies on the western side of a river, your detachment will have to choose between Route Green and Route Blue. Green is a raised highway that leads straight into Victor Outpost. The bridge itself should provide good sightlines into Victor, however your vehicles will be easy targets and the bridge is somewhat tight. Route Blue leads through the slums of Getaria. The bridge there is intact. However the force holding Getaria was pulled back to Barcelonova early on, which means we have no intel on this location. The terrain between Getaria and Victor outpost will provide good cover and concealment given the trees and smaller hills.
