Opord

Situation

Ultranationalists have mounted a major armored assault along the Southern front, and have broken through the Central border crossing. Aided by guerillas operating out of underground systems, they have been able to flood through Loyalist defenses and are preparing to push even further. The highest priority has been assigned to stalling the armored advance and clearing out underground guerilla hideouts.

• Guerilla units
  
• Sleeper units

Most Likely Course of Action: OPFOR will attempt to overwhelm Rangers with numbers on their assault south. OPFOR will also attempt to stall Rangers in the tunnels and Temples by utilizing choke points and danger areas to inflict casualties on breaching teams.

Most Deadly Course of Action: OPFOR attempts to make an assault utilizing both Mechanized infantry, Armor, and Air power, placing Rangers in dilemmas that force them to retreat from prepared Positions into less optimal secondary positions, forcing Rangers off the towns we intend to hold, potentially destabilizing our Infantry units and forcing them to retreat from their objectives to prevent encirclement.
