Scenarios
The Lone Mill 2026-04-18 · Fictional: the Neureupgol mill, north of Solmoe · Small-unit actions · Fictional situation
Terrain map Your role You lead 2nd Squad, 1st Platoon: nine soldiers going into an isolated mill the residents have already left, to clear a Grey force team out of it. The situation is fictional; the Grey force is a fictional team without national markings. The premise is that there are no civilians in or around the mill.
Higher commander's intent Deny the Grey force the mill as a base and hand the relay equipment upstairs to the search team untouched. Finish before daylight.
Situation Enemy: a Grey force team of four or five (estimated) moved into the Neureupgol mill three days ago and set up drone relay equipment upstairs. No national markings; rifles and one automatic weapon seen. This is a grey-zone situation and the rules of engagement are strict. Friendly: 1st Squad is the inner cordon (north and east doors), 3rd Squad the outer cordon (two approach roads), platoon HQ outside the gate. Residents: Neureupgol was evacuated to the Solmoe shelter to the south two days ago and the mill is unoccupied. The shelter is 2km south, so blasts and fire towards the south are to be limited. Terrain and weather: a mill with a brick ground floor and timber partitions upstairs, a walled yard, no moon. First light around 0550.
Mission 2nd Squad clears and secures the Neureupgol mill (Objective MILLSTONE) by 0600 and hands the relay equipment upstairs, untouched, to the company search team.
