Tasking
THE WAR TRAIN RUNS THE LIKHAYA SPUR TONIGHT — BURIED IN CIVILIAN TRAFFIC ON TWO TRACKS, BOTH DIRECTIONS, ALL OF IT FLAT OUT. NOTHING ON YOUR SENSOR MARKS IT. READ THE CONSISTS: FREIGHT RUNS EVEN BOXES — THE WAR TRAIN RUNS A GUN CAR BEHIND THE ENGINE, TANKERS AMIDSHIPS, AND A REAR GUARD. KILL ITS LOCOMOTIVE, TAKE IT APART. MISS IT, LOSE IT.
Rules of engagement
- ONE TRAIN IS THE TARGET — THE REST ARE CIVILIAN
- A CIVILIAN CAR DESTROYED ENDS THE MISSION
- THE WAR TRAIN CROSSING = MISSION FAILURE
- MANPADS WORK THE JUNCTION — STAY ON THE GLASS
