Story:
Over 50,000 British emigrants settled in Chile in South America between 1840 and 1914.
The little Chilean town of Icalma near the Argentine border is so British, the locals are allowed to self-rule and fly the British flag in the square. They even jokingly refer to themselves as ALBION.
The Chilean government don’t care, as long as they pay their taxes to Santiago.
The mining community there have discovered Dysprosium, a rare earth mineral which has become increasingly valuable for use in EV (Electric Vehicle) motors.
An Argentinian gangster DIAZ noting the lack of interest from the Chilean capital, decides to expand the Argentinian border to encapsulate little Icalma. He employs the infamous Phoenix group headed by Mason Granger as his private army.
With such a large border to police, the Chilean government aren’t too bothered about such a small place inhabited by a few difficult and somewhat militant foreigners.
When the brothers of Albion don’t get the right response from the capital, they complain about the situation to the British government in London and after talks, Santiago allow their old ally to bring in an international force ( JTF ) to arrive to fight oppression and allow the population to remain as they were and wish to live (not as Argentinian mining slaves).
Secretly, the first world governments behind the JTF are interested in helping; they would like the dysprosium to secure an independent supply outside of China and secondly, it seems that Phoenix have themselves a Weapon of Mass Production that they will likely sell to the highest bidder.
As DIAZ’s vehicles roll over the Andes and assault Icalma, Operation Fuego signals the start of a new war for 2023 in a remote corner of South America, but one which will see long buried patriotism emerge on both sides, combined with personal greed and ambition, and underwritten by international proxy war power plays.
Operation Fuego 1 will be another adrenaline-fueled weekend of tactics, asymmetrical warfare and role-play and is to be the sixteenth game in this exciting Bad-To-The-Bone series.
Loadouts and Ruleset
_______________________
NATO JTF SPECIAL FORCES
==========================
Top and Bottom in matching camouflage – assault vests and chest rigs can be matching camo or solid green or tan – plate carriers ideal.
US and NATO SF weaponry such as M4, HK416/7, SCAR is ideal.
Headgear required – helmets, camo baseball caps or boonies only.
* multicam arid, alpine and black not acceptable.
Phoenix PMC
=====================
Top and bottom in solid colours such as green/olive drab, grey, black or tan.
Casual style – cargo or tactical trousers with fleece, T-shirt or soft-shell jacket, all solid colours – no jeans.
Boots to be tactical – no trainers.
Headgear – baseball caps only – must be plain colour not camo.
Plate carriers, chest rigs or assault vests.
Weapons can be eastern bloc or western, but think military or law enforcement – no gold AK’s.
Albion
=====
Civilian clothes. This can be outdoor working clothes as might befit an off-duty miner who lives in an austere climate; jeans, tee shirts, lumber shirts etc. Think brighter colours; try to avoid black and olive green. Baseball caps with motivational and trademark logos are allowed, as well as woolly hats.
If you want to wear camo, please keep it limited to either trousers or a jacket – not both. DPM is a good choice, but really it doesn’t matter if you don’t have DPM.
Chest rigs or assault vests.
Weaponry can be anything available in gun shops, although old school is always good.
Civilian headgear required – Avoid looking like Phoenix with their solid colour baseball caps as often only heads can be seen and Phoenix have snipers.
