<LAST UPDATE> 22/05/24

A simple sandbox training mission on the Kola map. There are no threats. If you've given my other sandbox missions a go, I've tried to make this one a little lighter.
Modules Required - Supercarrier, (any of the modules you want to train in of course :D )

6 Ranges to choose from, Fram, Endurance, Terra, Alert, Erebus and Bowdoin for Ground Attack, Air to Air, Anti Ship, HARM / Radar and Runway busting.

"Ambient Spawns" - I don't like being the only one taking off so I've added AI that spawn when you do around the base and on the carrier.

A large carrier battlegroup with busy (but still functional) Carrier decks, including the Supercarrier GW, HMS Invincible and Tarawa.
Airbase populated with Statics and ambient units.

Tankers and AWACS available.
Smoke on targets and Air to Air "drones" available via the Radio menu

There are 3 missions files included. Case I, Case III and Night. Each mission contains Hot and Cold spawns.

Version 1.22 - 20240525 - "The Phantom's Menace"

In Expansion, you are part of an ongoing larger battle to conquer the region. You are free to choose your own aircraft and mission (be it close air support, CSAR, combat patrol or similar). Expansion is similar to, and inspired by, the fabulous "Foothold" series of missions created by Dzsekeb.
The mission starts with BLUE side holding only one airfield: Nalchik. AI will assign tactical objectives as it sees fit. The battle progresses around you in real-time and responds to your actions. Both side's AI Admirals task their units dynamically and according to their tactical needs - so plan your own flights accordingly.
Expansion supports all DCS player-controlled aircraft and comes with the ability to save and continue later.

Special thanks to Dzsekeb, the original creator of Foothold, without whom none of this would be possible.

Fine tuned by me to match our "Tally Ho Thursday" i.e mission Thursday standards. All though I have eased it for this public release.
(Added back: Battle Damage Assessment. Made Smoke to be available again to be used, using JTAC or purchase from the support menu.)

Date/Time: 08OCT73 / 0000L
Location: Megiddo IAFB
Mission: Operation House Call

Overview: Four A-4 Ayits will fly a night strike against Marj Ruhayyil Air Base in Syria.  The entire flight will be flown at low level to reduce the possibility of detection and increase response time of threats.  This is a psychological strike intended to change the dynamic on the Golan front.  F-4s and MIIIs will serve as diversions to the North West of the Golan Heights.

The Russian attack to a NATO patriot emplacemente near the Ucranian border on 09/27/24 resulted in the expenditure of hundreds of drones Shahed-107, of Iranian origin. This, combined with an increase in their use by the Russian army, nearly depleted their reserves. Therefore, as in the past, they made an agreement with Iran to obtain new units, and that cargo, along with some other weapons, has come Krasnodar, a city far enough fr om the Ucranian borders, and wh ere it is stored ready to be transported by rail to the Kerch Strait for its introduction into the Crimean Peninsula.
However, its destruction is no trivial matter. It would involve flying over Russian territory, attacking targets on its soil, eliminating anti-aircraft defenses, including long-range capable ones, and sabotaging several nearby bases to prevent the too early appearance of enemy fighters. Most of all, it would imply a formal declaration of war.
The mission's classified as of outmost priority by NATO.

In Operation Nalchik Airstrikes, our forces face a formidable challenge as enemy units advance from the northwest, supported by armored vehicles and airpower.

Swift and coordinated action is essential to counter the aggressive enemy advance. Defense efforts are organized into sectors Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie to fortify our positions effectively. Additionally, our aircraft, including SU, MIG, A10, F14, F16, F-18s and Hercules transports, alongside helicopters such as UH-60Ls and UH-1Hs, will play a crucial role in bolstering our defenses and supporting ground forces in retaking Nalchik Airport.

You are a "Battle Angel", a member of Blue's elite Helicopter Combat Rescue Team "Cesar". The battle for control of Mineralnye Vody has turned into a prolonged aerial conflict.

You are tasked with retrieving downed pilots north of 'Cesar Ridge' and return them to a Field Hospital inside the safe zone (marked by red smoke). Expect opposition forces to be around that are searching for pilots, so perhaps bring a friend in a gunship.
