Seems like multiplayer mission, at least lot of AI squads stay at the base without movement orders. Takedown of two villages on random locations, includes fire support.

Ammo Cache - ammocache.vte_meekong
Quite dark mission, dont expect to play this on completely lit up room with people making noise on the background. You need to turn off lights, maybe even use headphones and really sunk into the mission to fully get on top of things here. Well basically in all OFP (night) mission you have to do that.

Welcome to Nam and the World of the Seals.

I wanted to create a highly realistic Mission which, shows the powers of OFP. I really enjoyed a Amiga game called SEAL Team. I want to catch that spirit in my mission.
In future i want to do a Nam Seal Campaign, therefore i borrowed the Trick with Episode 4 from George Lucas. (At the Moment only this mission is finished) But look out for the other Parts. Probably one mission every two or three weeks. I spent about 30 hours creating and testing this mission (i hope, there are no bugs left).

Well i must admit this is my first public OFP mission, so please be patient. Although I must admit that i did a lot of private Missions for OFP and other Games. And i am a professional computer programmer and german ex-Paratrooper Sniper (AMF), that helps in some ideas and by the scripting.
P.S. I have found so many sniper missions (good and bad ones) i do not want to create one more. Although i have read a lot of Nam books. Thanks to Mr. Young for some Ideas.

Although i want to do a high replay mission; Nearly everthing in this mission, has a chance of appearing and disappering. So the mission can play quite different if
you try it a second time:

Bronski described it very good in one of his beta testing sessions:

I played the new version twice in a row. First time i only encountered two or three VC, blew the weapons cache and i got out
(i like the new little cutscene at the end). And the second time......well, lets just say that it didn't go so well. I encountered
a VC sitting on the ground, i creeped up to him and shot him with my silenced pistol. I go a little farther and a VC Squad decides to come up behind me. I lose one guy and
take out all of them. I take the remainder of my team and head for the cover of some bushes, and i encounter another VC squad. During the intense firefight my other two
guys are wounded and no longer able to walk.

Now i head to the hooches. Found a weapon cache in the first one, i set my charge and head to the second one and i find another weapon cache. The intel was wrong I remember
seeing a VC with a rocket launcher so i go out to find the body. Unknown to me, a NVA squad had also engage in that fierce fire fight and were still around. I see a flash
out of the corner of my eye and i hear the bullets tearing into my flesh.

I'll just say that no one should bash this mission until they play it a few times. t can be easy as hell or your team will get slaughtered.

Many Thanks to Bronski and Sham Pain for Beta testing the mission.

Finally i want to thank to all OFPEC people for there great ideas and scripts. (although i did not use them one to one, they were a great source of inspiration)
Especially Fishion for his general artillery script and snYpr for this Briefing manual. Thanks to Vektorboson for his Tailrotor Script.
And SelectThis for the help with the AddOn. And Ebud for his support.

Known Incorrectness:
The rank titles are wrong (US Army instead of Navy). Can not be changed because of the OFP setting.
The normal Seal Team size of seven men was reduced to four for easier coordination.

PMC 25km NAM fight video - snake_25km_fight_video.nam_25
This is legendary cutscene / fight video for me (Snake Man), I have been wathing for so many times I cannot even count anymore. Usually now I'll do is to watch this is I do some changes to VTE configs or especially the USMC/SEAL/VC units, its good to see if they work and so on.

Anyways this is basic infantry combat on village near the ricepaddys, you have USMC and SEAL squad against several VC squads. US side has two M19 mortars and UH-1 ARA support assets.

Its a video, ie cutscene so you'll just start it, sit back and watch the battle unfold. Some guys might think what the heck is the idea of watching something in OFP but cannot play it, while others might enjoy greatly such video of AI engagement, kind of like watching a movie, I know I do like to watch it.

[Hawkins]

I think I have readme's that I'd like to see inlcuded for my missions, Greenies, Green Hell, Indian Country, Valley of Death and Last Stand. Mercyful Fate is also made by me, but that version is unfortunately not supported by me in any way, since it's an very early alpha version. For the single player missions, I can provide readme's that would be great to see in future releases.

[Snake_Man]

Can you please post the readmes/descriptions here so I can update the list. Thanks.
