Swoop I did it the hard but fun way. I took a LAW, Machine Gunner and Medic with me in the HUMMER. I went up to where the 1st Soilders appear. I ordered my men to disembark and cover the Jeep and the road while my officer (me) who has a M21 moved slowly up the road and sniped all the ambushers. I made it all the way to Dudron(I forget how to spell) when the T72 came charging down the hill. My LAW solider got the T72 but a Ruskie got my LAW before I could cover. And that Damn T72 got my Jeep. Thankfully there was a truck there. I got all Convoy trucks to the Airport, HOWEVER just before they reached the end point, the handsomehunk I ordered to drive the M113 came out of the woods and rammed the Ammo truck, knocking it out.

I ordered the convoy to stop while I took the driver out into the woods and.....well had a "hunting accident" with him

True true....the single player game itself isnt really all THAT good, though its not too bad either, but what really sets OpFlash out on its own is the mission editor.
Remember setting out those little green and brown plastic men as a kid , with little tanks and stuff all around, then flattening them with marbles? < c'mon man, I CANT be the only one.....> Well, OpFlash editor is like the grandest collection of little green and brown men, complete with tanks and choppers and stuff, that you ever did see

And you get to see the battles in great detail...tracer, missile trails, explosions, debris....the whole bit

A bit of scripting here and there and a basic knowledge of the mission editor, and you can pretty much create/recreate any sort of fight you like....from squad on squad small infantry firefights, to full blown battles with hundreds of units.
EXTREMELY cool toy

Beef looks like you are pretty close on the escort mission. The key is to kill those ambushing RPG troops after that first town. Then when you get to the town where the tank comes in, leave your vehicles hidden, get your men into the town and down in some cover, have them hold fire until the tank and enemy infantry get close, and then let them have it. Once the tank gets amidst the buildings it's pretty easy to get an unobserved LAW shot on him.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm now on the Mission where you must blow up the scud. All I can say is this mission has driven me NUTS! Right now I usually go it alone with James. I take an M21 Sniper Rifle and a LAW with 3 LAW rounds. I then set up in a tree on either the W or the E hill where I have a shot at the Scud. I fire and when I kill the scud 99% of the time some guy on the other side of the hill that is over 700m away snipes me with his AK47. Man this mission has gotten to me. Any help or tips from you pros?

Beef remember that they can't see you if you are in a bush. So sneak up, get next to a bush, shoot the Scud, then dive into the bush. They will come and look around for you. If you stay quiet they will get bored and leave. If they don't leave then call in the choppers and armor and they will definitely get distracted. Then you can make a break for it.

I approach the Scud from the South. There are some ridges there that you can use to cover you from the tanks. Just be careful on the way in as there are some outposts and a couple of patrols. Use the MP5-SD if you have to, but your best bet is to crawl a lot and not let them see you. Also use South for your escape after destroying the Scud.

here's how i beat the scud mission. send most of your squad in to the woods and have them wait as a diversion. take the jeep and bring the sniper and the guy with the gustav launcher with you and drive around back to the hill. as you go up the hill there will be a squad of spetz natz, if you are in position to kill them all do it. if any will get away, lay low and let them pass.
then send the sniper over the hill and have him hide in the bushes over looking the valley. have a 'hunting accident' with the other guy and take his launcher.
then go over the hill down the ravine.
then send in the tanks(west) and give the sniper the ok to fire at will.
send the law soldier to engage a shilka then send the rest of the squad in twards the valley as a diversion(seperate destinations and at intervals so the don't get taken out as a group).
as you get close to the scud call for the choppers, and have the squad(except sniper)withdraw to the woods(most won't make it).
spot for the sniper to kill soldiers for you, so you don't draw any attention.
then lock-on with the gustav, fire, and runlike hell, back up through the ravine and over the hill.
