    WWII Funop Interest check.

     

    Autumn, 1941

    Ukraine SSR

     

    Heeresgruppe Süd has driven Deep into The Ukranian SSR and decimated Red Army formations around Kiev Before proceeding towards the Eastern Ukraine and the Don River. The Autumn mud has however slowed the advance significantly with tanks and their massive supply collumns unable to move forward any further. In an attempt to ensure that the Red Army cannot regroup in Peace several light armor recon units are sent ahead of the bogged down Panzer Divisions with orders to find and disrupt Red Army formations in any way possible until such a time as the Tanks can get moving again.

     

     

    So there has been some talk lately about people wanting to do some WWII funops so I figured I would gauge interest at least.

    What I have in mind have us playing as a recon squad in the Panzer-AufklärungsAbteilung 4 in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa. Spearheading the advance into Ukraine by Heeresgruppe Süd. Our tasking would consist of agressive recon with the goal of destroying Red Army recon units, raiding enemy forward supply dumps, airfields and just generally be a thorne in the side of larger enemy formations. To this end we would primarily be using light armored vehicles such as:
    Sdkfz 222 Armored car

    SdKfz 234/1/2/3/4

    SdKfz 251 Halftracks

     

    Mission would be squad sized initially but can ofcourse be expanded should interest prove high enough. players will be organized along the lines of the early war German Infantry Squad or "Gruppe"


    Squad Leader: (MP40, 9x 32rnd Magazines, Binoculars, Radio)
    Squad Machinegunner: (MG34, 4-6 ammo drums, 1x Luger P08/Walther P38)
    Squad Assistant Machinegunner: (All the MG ammo you can carry, 1x Handgun of choice, Binoculars)

    Ammunition Carrier: (Even more ammo, Kar98k, 8-10 clips)

    Squad Medic: (As much Medical gear as feasable, 1x Handgun of choice)

    Assistant Squad Leader: (Kar98k, 15-20 Clips, Bayonet, Binoculars)
    Rifleman x4 (Kar98k, 20 Clips, 4xHandgrenades, Bayonet)

     

    Vehicle crews would be dedicated to their role and join the Infantry Squad in the event that their vehicle is knocked out or runs out of fuel and/or ammunition. The Vehicles would be subordinate to the Squad Leader.

    This mission would run the 3dmrb modpack and then simply have the IFA3 mod on top of it for maximum simplicity. If you are interested in this kind of fun op, please post below to make your interest known and if we can get at least a squad and a vehicle for the first test run I will make a template available (read: Very kindly ask @MAJ Brueske to make one)

    Fierce fighting in Northwestern Iran as Iranian Kurds assert independence from Tehran.

    ADA News - Dateline July 13th, 2019

     

    Fierce fighting has broken out in Northwestern Iran, near the Turkish border. Representatives of “Iranian Kurdistan” have released a statement declaring their intent to secede from Tehran and establish the a “truly independent Kurdistan”. Kurdish leaders Adnan Barishi and Berhem Ceto made their ultimatum clear to Tehran, demanding that Iranian forces would withdraw from the region known as Iranian Kurdistan and a peaceful transition of power to the local Kurds would take place within a month Theran wholly rejected the ultimatum and sent forces into the region. Fighting began on the 1st of July as Iranian forces in the region were ambushed at several major population centres including Piranshahr and Sanandaj. The fighting lasted approximately one week and as of today Kurdish militia units are in control of approximately 75% of their claimed territory. Iran’s ability to crush this uprising by military means are severely limited by the ongoing Iran-Iraq military standoff. Almost all of Iran's combat ready forces are already deployed at the Iran-Iraq border with skirmishes and “incidents” occurring almost daily.

    This marks a significant shift for the Kurdish people in the middle east as they have so far been relegated to peaceful protests at best and violent but small scale insurgency at worst. International experts have declared Kurdistans declaration of independence as “rushed” and “hasty” considering there have been no similar declaration from the parts of Kurdistan currently located in Turkey, Iraq and Syria. The heavy US involvement in Iraq also faces a new issue as their kurdish allies now control territory on parts of the Iran-Iraq border occupied by the American 10th Mountain Division. Should Iranian Kurdistan’s declaration be followed by similar ones in Iraq the US would be pressed to chose to support either the Kurds whom were staunch allies in the face of ISIS resurgence and its current Iraqi allies. President Moore and his cabinet have been concerningly quiet on this matter, it remains to be seen if this de facto declaration of independence will coax an official statement out of the government. Tehran have, unsurprisingly, declared the uprising an "act of terror" and have blamed NATO forces for cover support of the kurdish militias. 

     

    The UN has convened an emergency meeting where they hope a resolution can be made regarding the long standing issue of Kurdistan. Loud voices from NATO's European members such as Britain, France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have all come out heavily in favor of supporting the Kurds and to achieve some form of diplomatic solution. Following the defeat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria increased calls for an Independent Kurdistan have been heard which has caused high level political headaches as Iraq, Turkey and the Kurdish forces are US allies in the region. The US would be forced to make a choice unless a UN resolution can be agreed upon. Either way Iran is unlikely to let parts of their territory slip away so easy. ADA News will continue to monitor the situation.

    @LCpl Wright Gave me the idea of the outfits and I couldnt be happier with the result, cant wait to make more of something like this



    Looks a lot like recent GRU, Alpha or Vympel group. Modern Russian SF is pretty indistinguishable from its western counterparts in terms of gear, the weapons being the only main visual difference. Even the old wood furnitured rifles are being phased out in favour of polymer and Picatinny rails.

    Afghanistan crumbles amidst Taliban and ISIS disputes.

    ADA News - Dateline July 6th 2019

     

    The country of Afghanistan has long been a country plagued by war and sectarian violence. From the Soviet invasion in the 70s to the American invasion and subsequent overthrow of the Taliban government it has been a long and troubled path to recovery for the poor middle eastern nation. US Involvement in Afghanistan dropped to a record low during 2016 when the United States withdrew a majority of their forces and allowed the ANA to take over general upkeep and security.

     

    With the US withdrawal from Afghanistan the country’s path to recovery took a sharp turn downwards. Taliban force reemerged in less than a year and caught the ill prepared ANA off guard, taking portions of western Afghanistan, most notably including the city of Herat, despite there still being a US presence around the city at the time. From there US forces were redeployed, much to the displeasure of the american public, and control was re-established over western Afghanistan during an 8 month long U.S. lead offensive. The U.S. recommitted to training, more effectively this time, the ANA and ANP to protect and defend their own land.

     

    Any progress made during that year was abruptly shattered when ISIS detonated a chemical weapon in the capital city on voting day. Coalition forces struggled to maintain control as public support of the democratic government and coalition forces dropped to the lowest it had in years. Many people turned back to the nearly defeated Taliban for security and support as their democratic government failed them. Spurred on by the sudden influx of support, the Taliban launched a major offensive recovering large areas of Northern Afghanistan and reestablishing Taliban rule in these areas. The Afghan government has announced a “temporary withdrawal” from these areas essentially leaving them wide open for the Taliban to walk in and claim them without resistance.

     

    This hegemony over Northern Afghanistan has recently come under threat however as ISIS-A (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria - Afghanistan branch) has seen a significant influx of fighters and material following the ISIS collapse in Iraq and Syria. Using contacts in the fractured Iran, ISIS has managed to transfer large parts of its most diehard fighters to Afghanistan and have begun muscling in on Taliban territory in the North sparking several engagements between the two terrorist organizations.

     

    Amidst this chaos, reports are also coming in from a group of political moderates banding together following the Afghan governments withdrawal. These moderates have taken on the name “United front for the Salvation of Afghanistan”, more commonly known as “The Northern Alliance”. Drawing on the legacy of the historic Northern alliance who fought against the Taliban regime from 1996 until the US invasion in 2001. Reports are scarce but over the past couple of weeks it seems that they have successfully fought both ISIS-A and The Taliban to a standstill.

    ANA forces secure an ISIS-A held compound in Northern Afghanistan.

     

    The region's future remains uncertain as the hard pressed Afghan government has declined to comment on what seems like a surrender of their territory to the Taliban. A NATO spokesperson has commented that NATO forces remain committed to the Iran-Iraq standoff but will offer Afghanistan all possible support. The Pentagon has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors of US Special Forces deploying to Afghanistan.

    Boko Haram fighter cross into Chad, fleeing joint Nigerian-US Crackdown

     

    The recent crackdown by Nigerian authorities against the terrorist organization Boko Haram has had some unexpected consequences as Chadian border posts have been reporting large numbers of Boko Haram fighters attempting to cross the border, sometimes by force. The past week Chadian border posts have reported at least 400 terrorists crossing the border. Numerous small skirmishes have been reported and the Chadian Ministry of Defense have announced a large military mobilization to reinforce the border and hunt down any terrorists that have managed to cross. Already over 50 Boko Haram terrorists have been killed in the fighting alongside 20 Chadian soldiers and border police.

     

    This shift comes in the wake of a joint Nigerian-US operation against terrorism in Nigeria. Boko Haram has long been a thorn in the side of Nigerias government who have been able to repel the terrorists but not wipe them out entirely. This coupled with the recent fall of the ISIS “Caliphate” in Iraq and Syria means that terrorist groups across Africa has seen an influx of new volunteers that managed to escape death or capture in the Middle East

    The UN and African Union have both declared full support for Chad who despite its poverty has taken a leading role in the fight against the plethora of terrorist organizations the plague the continent. With this new threat and its refugee crisis in the east due to the Sudanese civil war many international experts fear for the brittle stability of Chad. Chad is one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the World and as such are ill suited to facing multiple crisises on both its western and Eastern border.

     

    Brigadier General Alawi Amoud. The man in charge of the 3000 man strong troop deployment to Chads western border stated that he and his men "Will hunt these rats day and night, they will find so safe refuge in Chad or anywhere else on this continent. They will be stamped out like the vermin they are".

    It remains to be seen if Chad can resist this new threat on its own. The pentagon has declined to comment on any possible US commitment to Chad.
