Mission - Operation Saffron Dagger

[Stewy1]

G'day everyone,

I've just uploaded my first complete mission.

EDIT - this mission was made with RA Mod version 1.39

It's Monday, 24 September, 2007. George W. Bush is president. Soulja Boy's Crank That and Nickelback's Rockstar are in the charts and the top three films are Halloween, 3:10 to Yuma and Superbad.

In Myanmar, protests, and consequential government crackdowns, are escalating after the government removed fuel subsidies in mid-August. The 'Saffron Revolution' is intensifying.

You're the Captain of the USS Helena (SSN 725) and you've just completed a goodwill port visit to the Indian naval base at Port Blair, in the Andaman Islands. Pull out of port, Captain.

Orders to follow.

This is a long mission (174 hours) - so saving after each evolution is recommended. This mission wasn't inspired by the current events in Myanmar; rather I made this after watching Rambo (which is set during the Saffron Revolution in Myanmar) for the 15th time!

It's not the kind of mission where you fight entire Russian battle groups. Rather, stealth is the aim of the game. There are bad guys out there and you'll have to achieve goals by certain times, without being counter-detected.

There are some opposed transits - the mission is set across a large part of Myanmar's navigable coastline - I think that's more like what submarining is.

I worked very hard on this mission, to make it as realistic as I could. It took me a very long time to research, plan, map-make, make the mission and test.

I hope you like it - constructive feedback welcome!

Stewy
