Lt. Doltstein's day: A Flashpoint adventure

Hottentot · 12-03-10, 04:34 AM

OK, let's try this again. This time we leave the happy Caribbean people to live their happy lives and liking their glorious leader and move on to something little more grim. Namely the Cold War turned Hot War.

Operation Flashpoint. Do I even need to introduce it in a forum like this? Ever since I played that game for the first time as a kid, I have been happy that I haven't had to experience a war. Mostly because if Flashpoint is realistic, then the most common reason to die in a war is that the intelligence of your comrades in arms is comparable to that of a hamster. No wait, I take that back. Hamsters are at least capable of breathing independently.

Anyway. If you have played the game, I take it you remember the second mission of the original campaign. You know right after Morton. The one where you attack that little village called Regina and then, uh, something happens but I don't want to spoil it for those two people who haven't played the game and the mission. In any case: I have always wanted to know who was the freaking military genius that ordered the men to attack over a hill and an open field against fortified positions when there are two forests on the either side of the village.

Now I shall introduce the said genius to you. Welcome to follow "LIEUTENANT DOLTSTEIN'S DAY. Or: How I killed an entire army, saved the world and lived to tell the tale."

This isn't exactly an AAR, since there is no real action to report. Instead I used Flashpoints excellent editor to create a story, again with lots of shiny pictures. Nothing more, nothing less. I hope you still like it. If anyone is interested, the mod used on the pictures if FFUR 1985. It keeps the theme of the original game, but adds much more stuff, graphic updates, features and overall realism to the game.

Anyway...

PART 1: REPORTING FOR DUTY

Right. Morning company! Today's briefing is as follows.

Target for today is a small town called Regina on Southern Everon. Intel says it is defended by only a handful of enemies, while the reds' mainforce is concentrated further south to secure the strategic mainroad from the oceanport to inland. However, before we start our offensive on there, we must first eliminate Regina's pocket of resistance. Otherwise we risk them flanking us trough the mountains to the east of the town.

We estimate a small force, no more than a company, should be able to accomplish the mission with minimal casualties to the good guys. That lucky company in question is you, gentlemen. The trucks on my right will take you right into the heart of the action.

The operation shall be coordinated and executed under the leadership of Lieutenant Doltstein, a veteran of many battles. You may have heard of his great feats before. Lieutenant Doltstein knows everything there is to know about staying alive. He has survived hundreds of encounters where the rest of his squadmates have been next to obliterated. This man is a survivor!

Speaking of Doltstein, he should be here already...

ZzzZZzzZZzzZZzzZZzz...

Well, while we wait, I want you to know, how important your task today is. Don't let the small size of the target fool you. Your effort today shall dictate our future offensive's success. If any of you screws up, not only will you be going home in coffins, so will your squadmates. And our whole operation will be delayed.

Each one of you is a specialist, trained by the best army in the world. You all defend the best country on the face of the earth. You are the first, best and last line of defence against the invasion of these red bastards. They oppose everything we stand for. And that is why we must stand for it! This is not only about Everon! This is about the very way of our life! It's them or us!

ZzzZZzzZZzzZZzzZZzz...huh? What?

Yawn. Wow, I slept well. I love camping outdoors. God, what a beautiful morning!

I just can't help wondering if I have forgotten something.

Oh crap! Oh man, oh man! The clock! The mission! My country needs me!!

...Your country needs you! Your families, your friends, everyone you have ever met needs you on this most important hour of your life! You must stand for what you believe in!
