The Allies intend to "cut off the enemy and then destroy him".
Some of the enemy armoured regiments are escaping and heading into the centre
of the theatre to engage French troops in their push North.
You are to launch with Hornet Two and follow him at 8,000 feet ASL and
400KIAS to Waypoint 1. Your mission is to kill the enemy armour around that
Waypoint. Then follow Hornet Two as he joins up with Hornet Three and Four.
Hornet Three and Four are tasked to hit AAA sites about the Ghalaysan
New IQAAF Airbase. There is a tank park and maintenance area to the South
of that base. Their mission is to clear a path for three A-10s of the 358th
Tactical Wing who are on their way from Qasumah to kill the tanks in the
vicinity of your second Waypoint.
CAP Waypoint 2 to protect the A-10s. Take Hornet Two into formation with
you and slowly circle at 10,000 feet AGL and 360KIAS to conserve fuel.
When the A-10s have deployed their ordnance escort them from the battle
area for about 2 minutes then head home to Rafha.
