Sounds like fun!
One tiny detail though, it's called the 'Bijzondere Bijstands Eenheid' (note the extra e in eenheid).

This has now been corrected and some other changes have been made as well.

OK, it's finally ready.

On the evening of March 22, 2007 a large and heavily armed terrorist group descends upon the village of Schalkwijk in central Holland. While initially putting up fierce resistance local police are heavily outgunned and eventually withdraw from the besieged village. Within an hour Schalkwijk is under complete control of the terrorist band with most of the residents either dead, dying or hiding out in nearby woods.

For this campaign you are the commander of the elite Dutch counter-terrorism unit, the Bijzondere Bijstands Eenheid (BBE). The BBE (Special Intervention Force) is Holland’s national counter-terrorism unit. Answering to the Dutch Ministry of the Interior, this unit of approximately 100 operators is considered to be one of the best counter-terrorism units in the world.

Hi Mike

Am looking forward to playing this one. As soon as real life settles down to get into it

Good work. I just finished airport mission.
Winning was quite easy, the tricky part was keeping troops alive . Too bad you decided to arm the troops with FAL-s - if more of them had mp-5s, player would be forced to work harder to win this one. With FALs my troops were able to decimate the terrorists far too easily .
Anyway, it was very good mission to play.

Well, I was caught between which weapon to issue. The MP5's seemed to make it too hard and the FAL's a lot easier.

Hopefully more will post some feedback and depending on that I will redo the campaign so that their is an easier(FAL) one and harder (MP5) one.

if you go back to mp5s, i would suggest giving a sniper to each platoon, maybe a 2 man heavy sniper team even.

this is a great infantry mini-campaign, I enjoy very much these "small scale" style of infantry maps, like the contra raid and whatnot, and this is another good one.

I did the air assault, and after a few missteps, I got into the groove of the first mission, got in the planes.

There i had a few problems. It seemed no matter where I told the planes to drop, 2 of them always dropped right ontop of the train station, which basically wiped out half the team.

Instead of that I just put them on the northern area (I assumed they just jumped a bit off and marched to the target), near where the police are.

Getting into the town was steady, but hard in parts.

I liked the mines on the train tracks, seemed like an extra touch of realisim.

Ended up with a complete victory, losing maybe 10 or so of my people.

The best unit was unquestionably the Heavy Sniper, he just saved my guys time after time, when I thought we would get blocked, boom boom boom down goes half a insurgent squad and we kept moving.

Good stuff

now doing the road version.
