SITREP:
Following the escape of the Six Fingered Man (with Princess Buttercup as his prisoner) from the from the Cliffs of Insanity, the Dread Pirate Roberts has been busy tracking him down, and has finally found him at an airbase in the North of the country.
He has also discovered activity at two southern ports, where they are offloading military supplies, including armour and reinforcements to send to Prince Humperdinck’s castle. Should these supplies reach the Prince, he will be able to hold off all comers, and Buttercup will be lost to her beloved forever.
This is inconceivable! TFA are tasked to assault the ports, steal some tanks, and destroy everything else, then use the captured tanks to assault the airbase.
INTELLIGENCE:
The two ports have been observed to be unloading mainly Russian weapons, ammunition, and vehicles, but also a number of Leopard tanks. A large contingent of reinforcements is also present at each port.
The airbase is heavily defended, and is the main gathering point for equipment to be sent on to the castle. We know Buttercup is being held at the airbase, but do not know exactly where.
MISSION:
The airport defences will be tough to crack without heavy armour. Therefore TFA is ordered to assault the two ports and capture as many tanks as possible. All other military equipment is to be destroyed.
TFA will then use the captured tanks to assault the airfield to search for and rescue Buttercup. The Six Fingered Man is to be captured and turned over to the Dread Pirate Roberts.
