[Caliber-10:6] Shot in the Dark
CALIBER 10 SCENARIO PACK – MISSION 6 (of 8)
~3.00 hours, January 1st 1995
Our forces have been attacking the Russians holed up in the rail station for over 12 hours now – but they are still refusing to retreat. We’ve finally managed to make some headway to their flanks and rear, however. Our chief interrogator at the Presidential Palace HQ, Abu Arsunkayev, has extracted some useful intel from the recently-captured Russian troops – and has now headed to the far side of the tracks with a band of militia. Get around the station, and see if you can finally push them out before dawn!
MISSION: Probe (Meeting Engagement) – SCENARIO SIZE: Small (<1 hour of play)
CONDITIONS: Night, icy mist and light snow (poor visibility)
NOTE: This mission makes extensive use of custom ‘no-entry’ zones
SITUATION:
The battle at the rail station is continuing unabated, after only a very brief pause around midnight on New Year’s. The separatists have made some progress in the past few hours, taking the post office immediately east of the station. ‘Pavlov’s House’ directly across from the station has been suppressed somewhat by fire from Russian tanks, but is still holding as well. However, despite the latter’s claim to fame in the battle – by the second half of the night, it was actually the building on the opposite (south) side of the station that was causing the Russians the most trouble. This was the large, heavily-built locomotive depot; Chechen snipers and RPG grenadiers took up positions there as well and began inflicting losses on the Russians. It was from this direction that the main attacks at the station in the pre-dawn hours would come.
FROM 131 BRIGADE RADIO LOG:
[Caliber-10]: …we’ve been flanked… [they’re] behind us, both from that [Pavlov] house, and from the depot… that’s on the other side, they’re ****ing us from here… at the rear they’re ****ing at us from RPGs, [small arms] fire from the direction of the tracks, that’s where those… tank-cars are parked […] artillery is close… if only they could work that depot…
[Slitok-11]: …I read you, call the fire on the depot then, over!
