The controller at RAF fylingdales cursed to himself as the end of his custard cream dropped into his mug of tea with a satisfying plop. He burnt his finger as he immediately tried to retrieve it, then surrendered to fate and took a gulp of the steaming hot tea, complete with melted biscuit and cream. He winced and put the mug down, slowly rubbing his throbbing finger.
Suddenly a red warning light flashed on the digital map on his wall, quickly followed by a verbal 'Launch detected' warning from the speaker. He stood and took a step back, his heart beating heavily. Flight Lieutenant Stanton, his watch commander burst into the room "What now?" He called, awaking the controller from his fear induced dream "Multiple launch sir!" He called.
"Get a fix!" Cried Stanton, quickly running to his workstation and picking up the red receiver. "This is fylingdales early warning, We have numerous probable missile launches from..." He looked at the controller as he tried to work out the references "Sir, there are too many, its definitely old Ivan though!" Stanton looked down.
"...Warsaw pact territory!" He contined on the phone. "Suggest Bikini Red, and alert the prime minister. This is NOT a drill!" He turned to another controller. "Have you got the possible targets yet?" He called, waiting for response on the phone. "Only on the first seven, probable targets identified as, Newcastle, Sheffield, Glasgow, Cardiff, Catterick, Conningsby and London, sir... more are coming through though, this is it.... first strike, and they've gone for a decapitation!" He said, still fixed to his monitor. "We're not the only ones, looks like missiles heading for targets in West europe and North America. Its definately a biggie!" Stanton swallowed hard as a response on his phone switched him back to life... ..."This is the commander of home defence, is this limited, i say again, is this a limited strike?" Asked his shadow on the other end of the call. Stanton looked around at the men in the room. "Negative sir, this is a Full-scale first strike!"...

GPMG Gunner (Light Role)
Utalising the General purpose machine gun to its full potential in a section support Role. Your job will be to operate and maintain one of the most devestating weapons in the Infantry Arsenal.
Section Commander
Due to the large influx of recruits, your training staff will pick out potential junior non-commisioned officers for specialist training. You will operate as the commander of your 8 man Rifle Section, using each mans specialist skills and equipment to maximum effeciency.
Sniper
Usually operating in pairs, well away from the Rifle Section, you will be closest to the enemy, in either a Recce or combat role, killing from a distance, or providing support or information for your mates on the front, you may be alone on the line, but your brothers stand behind you, ready to back you up!
Signalman
Communcations has always been the key to sucessful military operations. And nowhere is this noticed more than in low level infantry tactics. Using the PRC351 Radio, you will be the link man between the men on the ground, and the support offered behind the lines.
Rifleman
The backbone of any army. The Rifleman's role is to close with and kill the enemy. Using the most modern and effective equipment, or simply charging in with a fixed bayonet, no matter where you are, every infantryman is your brother, your friend, your protector.

Will you be using the SA 80 as the main assault rifle?
no, L1a1 SLR as main Rifle of this game.
Why not? The SA 80 is standard issue for the British armed forces.
Please Ignore my last posts... I have just relised ofter typeing into wikipedia that the SA 80 has been standard issue since 1987. So just ignore my last posts.
Sorry
actually mate the L85 SA80 was introduced in 1985 (hence the name)so it will be featuring, just not as heavily as the SLR.
Idk anything about the Brits and their army (except for a bit on the television) but this mod looks exceptionally bright and I look forward to seeing how the gameplay works out to match the awesome content. :) Cheers and good luck with the mod.
I say chap, anyone that makes a mod about the British Army and includes the L1A1 SLR and GPMG gets my applause! Can't wait for this to be finished and downloadable! Keep on working at it!
thanks very much mate.
btw beautiful models, nearly look like photos
