MISSION* 
NLT Turn 2 Bravo Co will deploy north of the Ridge Line at the LOA, PL 
Williams running from Hex 97,134 to Hex 89,118 securing Obj Foxy Lady to 
blocking Syrian units from flanking Alpha Co atop Hill 692.**

EXECUTION*
Commanders Intent:* 
Bravo Co 1/6 Marines will deploy along PL Williams, the LOA to block a Syrian 
force of possible battalion strength from flanking Alpha Co on Alphas left 
flank by defensive fire. Bravo Co will destroy all Syrian units at PL 
Williams securing Obj Foxy Lady. Bravo will not advance beyond the LOA.**

CONCEPT OF THE OPERATION* 
A. Maneuver: Bravo will disembark and prepare a hasty defense at PL Williams 
to secure Obj Foxy Lady thereby securing Alphas left flank. Bravo Co will 
block Syrian units engaged at PL Williams. Bravo will locate, identify, fix, 
and communicate Syrian units for artillery and CAS fires.**

B. Fires: The Bn FSCOORD will direct Smoke Fires screening Bravos 
deployment. The Bn UAV will reconnoiter AO to locate, identify, and fix 
Syrian tanks and FA guns. The Bn FSCOORD will lay Fires destroying Syrian 
guns. Bn FAC will direct Bravo Co mortar Fires targeting Syrian infantry 
units.**

C. CAS: The Bn Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) will assign air 
strikes to destroy Syrian infantry. The JTAC will direct ATK Helo fires 
providing close air support missions. At the discretion of the JTAC and/or by 
direction of Bn Command, ATK Helicopter interdiction missions may commence to 
assess, fix, identity, and destroy Syrian FA units.**

COMMAND/SIGNAL* 
Lt. Col Percy Childs, BLT 1/6 Marines is the mission CIC.** 

Gameplay:*
Play this scenario from the side of the USMC against the AI. Gameplay is 10 
turns with visibility at 20.**

Victory Conditions:*
Block Syrian units from flanking Alpha Co to the South, securing all flags, 
move MV-22s and Heavy Helos off map. A draw is a defeat.**

Notes:* 
This is the third battle in the Red Line Syria series following: Red Line 
Syria  Put His Eyes Out, and Red Line Syria Alpha Co 1/6 Marines.**

Please note that I have modified the cost of the USMC units as follows: 
Attack Helos cost 655, Heavy Helos, Tilt-rotors, Venom Helos cost 550, INF 
Squads and HQ units cost 350 each, and Marine Snipers cost 750.**

D Bty 1/10 Marines is a HIMARS battery with three firing SP Rocket units. 
Each HIMARS carries six tubes and fires one rocket at a time. One HIMARS is 
assigned to an infantry company although fires controlled by the Bn FSCOORD.**

I have limited the lethality of Marine Snipers by restricting their rate of 
fire to 4.**

I further modified the Venoms and Vipers by increasing their EW ratings to 24 
and 18 respectively.**

You should filter units as appropriate, especially the Vipers, SMAW-NE, and 
Javelins for target and range.**
