Right! Time to degrade a bit more. I’ve got a sub in the south and can knock on the door a but down there. And a single Tomahawk made it in and nailed the Chinese Oil Authority compound. We have much better luck around Murtala airport. Lesson learned, SEAD first.

For now we wait a bit. Once we’re 2 hours out from reload time we’ll launch the KC-135’s and prepare another sortie north. I setup some raceways for the fuel track over neutral airspace.

Neato! High value targets! I wonder if I can save a JDAM for that? The time will be right.

One thing I miss that other scenarios have now is the ability to show all previous special actions. I’m trying to remember which spots I need to drop supplies… I do remember 2100, and I see a few spots nearby so we’ll start there. I’ll put up a pair of F-35’s to clear the sky then go in with the rotary wing.

I’m doubtful I knocked out Murtala as well as I’d thought. I see F-7’s landing, I guess the big question is whether they can take off again.

The slooooow choppers crawl across the landscape. The F-35’s are holding and knocking out the F-7’s if they stray near. We make LZ California, and RTB that unit. The only one that can reach the others is the Super Stallion. LZ New Mexico is squarely in Indian country, but welp, gotta try.

Lol. That’s uh, some fluff to add in.

An MPA is sneaking our way. He’ll surely give us away so we fire upon it. We kill it, but a few minutes later they put up another one. Bastards.

Some proper submarine action! We also finish the re-supply op. Both choppers are headed out and looking safe. Another hour till the F-35’s are ready. Tankers are already inbound.

At 23:57 we launch the F-35’s. We’ll meet up with the tanker, fuel up, then head to Abuja. It looks to be a target rich environment. First task will be the remaining SA-2, then the supporting SAM’s with a JDAM on the high value target.

This is some CIA level shit. I’ll divert one F-35 to Kano to bomb that place.

Aircraft are headed in. I’ve got another pair of JDAM toting jets not far behind to play clean up. Not to mention the pack of B-52’s headed in from Ascension to empty the place of bad people.

I’ve only got two JDAMs for this run. One for the HVT and a 2nd for the SA-2 location. The follow up will nail the Rolands. I’d rather save the JDAM as the SA-2 can’t hit the cruise missiles but I’m afraid it’ll nail me or the follow up. That old ass missile can still be dangerous.

We knock out the HVT but the 2nd JDAM is knocked out by something far more dangerous, an SA-20. I can’t pin it down exactly. This thing is nasty. 80nm range, target envelope from ground to 90,000 ft AGL. Ick.

I manage to sneak a look at it just in time to run out of JDAM’s. If I have any ordnance left after the Kano strike I’ll divert south.

Saturation time for the additional targets. Nothing is emitting at the moment.

I hit the Kano site with JDAM’s and realize that those B-2’s at Ascension are probably better suited for this. Welp.

Argh. For some reason one of the B-52’s was straying overthe target site. WTF dude. To top it off the cruise missiles knocked out a civilian jet on the runway and dinged me 20 points. The brief did mention a civilian jet but I assumed it’d come out of the heavily protected air field, not this one.

Time for a break I think. Finish it up in the morning.
