So what is the I.C.E team gonna do?

So what is the I.C.E team gonna do?

If one of the teams goes down, the ICE reinforces their objective. Otherwise, push on with the rest of the teams, towards the MIRV outpost. The teams are just in case we get separated *depending on how people want to do it, we could all land together or get separated and meet up with teams.

Seeing as I'm the only squad that hasn't been included in an Team, do I operate alone?

Nahp, anyone who was left out of the teams gets the jobs of pushing up if the others fail, or supporting the failing teams. Everyone should still work together, the teams are just in case of separation and who to link up with.

Good, I thought I was getting left out. *whimpers*

BTW this is a pretty good video of what its like to fly into a hurricane's eye:

I assume we are meant to post about the jump now, right?

Yup

[The GAmeTopians]

I'm going to assume we're on the VTOL and that our radios connect to your iDroids, because of the previous post I made.

[The GAmeTopians]

And Torrum and i aren't in teams, so should we like be ICE 2 together or something? Posting in an hour or so, btw. Gotta have dinner.

[The GAmeTopians]

Nvm, reread the post. ICE team!

[Hurtful Thoughts]

That was directed at Hurtful Thoughts, but I understand. Sorry for appearing like a prick. What is 2/3?

Means you're one more demerit away from getting anally raped upon landing.

Edit: Although rabid tigers seems more likely.

[Hurtful Thoughts]

I'm going to assume we're on the VTOL and that our radios connect to your iDroids, because of the previous post I made.

BTW, I'd strongly recommend *complete* radio-silence. As in, radios completely off unless you see a color-coded flare telling you what frequency to use.

The reason why, is because radio-direction finders can find those sorts of things, even when they aren't transmitting.
-This includes GPS.

Hmm. That would be a good idea, but I already made the mistake so I won't take it back. The message is encrypted at least. Also, I assume we already have a frequency we're using.

Secondly, though, how could you locate a non-transmitting radio with a radio-direction finder?

Post edited to include link.

In sort, internal electronic-interference cancelation gives-off just enough of a signal for a few germans to detect where the beachmasters are standing and giving orders... from far enough away and in realtime to give these coordinates to Anzio-Annie. (keep in mind, NOT EVEN TRANSMITTING)

Use of walkie-talkies at the beach was promptly banned after several men and tanks ate 300mm shells at the beaches, quickly reverted to signal-flags and blinker-lights. Ever since, use of the radio has been a specialty-profession only, and jabbering carelessly is likely to get you slapped upside the head and your radio smashed.

Right now, we're on an island, have no way of calling-in support from the carrier-group (even if we wanted to, heck, even an evac would be impossibru right now), and are probably outnumbered by bad-guys 1000:1 against. It would be most prudent to keep your voice down on all levels.

So, with everyone and anyone who can actually do anything about our situation being in earshot, turn that blasted thing off before I chuck a lit signal-flare in your ruck.

Edit: Sorry, after getting off work I'm about as moody as a drunk pirate.

Well, I don't want to act on OOC information in the IC. Tell me to turn off the radio in the IC.

Unlikely, comrade, you are alpha-team, Padnaki and I are on Charlie team, fighting for glorious liberation of nuclear weapons from terror-fascist clutches, no?

[Congreveopia]

So, this has me wondering what the actual structure of this is going to be. I don't think we have a map, but even if we did, who runs the enemies? Does Emmeria say something to me now like: "A five-person enemy squad is moving to your position down RandomRoadName Avenue to investigate the radio signal." How is this going to work?

P.S. I really think we should have a map. Just pick some real island with good rez on google maps, or find a good map of some island. It's just going to get confusing to make up the terrain as we go along.

[Ghondra]

It seems I missed a lot, so what is it? What did I miss?

[Hurtful Thoughts]

It seems I missed a lot, so what is it? What did I miss?

We've dropped into where eagles dare.

Fact: Only eagles and turkeys will fly in a storm. Which one are you?

So have you guys dropped yet, my men still haven't regrouped, and all they're radio equipment is shot to hell.

Map

In my days of attempted operation Flashpoint play throughs, never has the map ever been so useful to me. Other than my poor photoshop elements sketches, the Little Kiska island is the one we're jumping onto. Navy Cove is, you guessed it, the location of the cove. But it's not a Russian/Asian island, it's a very pacific islander one, and with that, it's got Philippines esc culture as well.

If you land quick enough, you may be able to purchase some Balut. [/joke]

Well, the populace is frenzied, and the military is focused on the main island with portions on the Little Launda one. They're not hostile to us. But the rogue element is. However, that's the double edged sword here, as radio contact is necessary for us to communicate effectively. But it could also give us away, like Hurt said. It's up to the IC Course of Action. Each Team's COA, really. Everyone maintain contact but move with your team. If you haven't found your team or any of the ICE units, use your flares/other form of non-radio communication.

Oh, and Chavez will be happy to see more Special Operations. They'll be appearing shortly. (They're pretty Elite, nothing on our level though.)

So, that's all good, but it doesn't address the question of how hostiles will work in this RP. Are you saying that we won't encounter hostiles until we reach the military base, just frenzied civilians?

Edit: So it appears that the best way for me to view a map of the island we're on is to reinstall Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and view the map.

I'm pretty much the game master. I'll toss hostiles at everyone and I'm confident you're all good RPers to do something good with them. That said, I'm open to fresh ideas.

Is the eye of the hurricane around kiska harbor area?

Eye of the Hurricane is centered around mid Little Kiska, South of the Navy Cove.

[Congreveopia]

Eye of the Hurricane is centered around mid Little Kiska, South of the Navy Cove.

Hang on, The smallest eyes are still around 20 miles across. If the map you gave is the right scale than the eye would cover all of Little Kiska, and a fair portion of the main island. The eye would be the size of about a quarter of the map. If Little Kiska's in the middle of the eye, then we have about twenty minutes until the eyewall hits Little Kiska.
