Operation: Gothic Serpent pt. 1

Operation: Gothic Serpent Collection

Description
Briefing:
Task Force Ranger received intel that two enemy HVIs will be meeting in this building. You are going to assault the target building, while the Rangers provide security. The 16 of you assaulting the building should be able to take it down quick.
Operators: 8 Because of the landing locations, 2 of the Delta teams did not take part in the first moments of the assault. SFC Rierson (KIA Oct. 6) and his team had already secured floor one before SFC Howe had entered, and Howe and his team then went upstairs.
Difficulty: Easy
Size: Medium

Background:
October 3, 1993
As part of UNOSOM II, the United States sent military forces to protect humanitarian efforts in Somalia. Mohamed Farrah Aidid was the warlord of the Habr Gidr clan, which had opposed UN peacekeeping efforts. Task Force Ranger was deployed in August with the goal of finding of killing Aidid. This raid was intended to capture 2 of Aidid's top lieutenants. Delta would ride in on the MH-6s, and assault the target building, while 4 Ranger chalks would create a perimeter. The Somalis had noticed the preparations of the Americans, and the city had mobilized to fight. The subsequent downing of 2 Black Hawk helicopters resulted in a drawn out engagement, instead of a quick snatch and grab.

@Maldoran Straken That is intentional. The convoy to take the prisoners away sat for a long time, until SSG Bray got things moving. Unless you would like to sit in the level for 30 minutes, clear the rest of the building.

There's no extraction point for the VIP

@Tropic Bromide I'm not 100% certain on the locked doors, but in aerial photographs, there are 2 structures visible to the East of the target building. I could not see an actual structure to the West of the target building, but that does not mean that one does not exist. I chose to not include snipers on any of the maps, despite the fact that there were sniper teams aboard the helicopters, as well as the fire support from the Black Hawks and AH-6s, because this would make the maps very easy, or they would have to be exceptionally large to compensate, which can create performance issues. Thank you for your feedback.

Not only a very fun level, but nice and accurate. I know it wouldn't be fun if everybody surrendered without a fight like in the real operation, but the HVIs and surrendering grunts were a nice touch. Funny enough, I was showing this to some friends a couple weeks ago and one of them specifically asked if there were Gothic Serpent maps.

Only things you could add would be removing the locked doors, based on an interview with a C-team operator saying the gates & external doors were unlocked, and adding a sniper to the southern edge of the map to simulate the SEAL contingent that arrived on Humvee and covered the southern gate from an alleyway across the street. If you wanna get really anal you can reference this picture of Chalk 1 looking west to Chalk 3 and see the south gate looks closed: https://a.pomf.cat/clpvfy.png . Also looks like the small secondary building is west of the gate with windows out to the street, rather than east of the gate with a door out to the street.

Comments on the collection should be enabled. The maps will be numbered in chronological order, but #4 and #6 are much larger and more complex then the other 4 currently completed. When #4, #6, and the remaining maps in the series are finished, the numbers should be neat. Thank you for your feedback.

The collection has no chat so i'll ask here: It was a numbering error or the other 2 numbers missing were removed?
