For those of you who read Spartans ODST mission 2 i think you will enjoy this.

Mission Briefing: The covenant have a radar instalation and a small airstrip near a rock formation that we want you to deal with. The radar instalation needs to be destroyed but the airstrip can be bombed after its defensive aircraft are taken out. however there is a new covenant stealth fighter at the airstrip that we would like to get intact. The rock formation covers the entire north border and the west border. There is another formation thats very small right near the front of the radar instalation. The covenant are using banshees and wraiths to defend the two places as well as numerous shade turrets and infantry of all kinds we had a pelican flying over the area gathering information before it was shot down in the formation. They relayed the info before the crash and their status is unkown so check for survivors on your way.

Estimated Covenant:
bashee: 8
Wraith: 8 at radar instalation 4 at airstrip
Shade turrets: around 10
Eites: about 25
Jackals: about 40
Grunts: about 100
Hunters: 12
Covenant stealth: 3

Your arsenal will contain a new vehicle for defending banshees. Its an anti aircraft tank with missles designed to shoot down aircarft in flight and you must protect these vehicles during your attack or the banshees will cut you down swiftly. We dont think it will work on the stealth though so you must capture or destroy them quickly.

Your arsenal
Scorpion tanks: 12
AA tanks: 2
warthogswith LAAG:4
ODSTs: 4 per tank,3 per hog
ODSTs: Hand pick what weapons your ODSTs will be using form: AR, RL, BR, SMG, SR, all ODSTs come with pistol and 2 grenades

You didn't say what ODSTs there are. I'll make my own troops (72 in total):
* 12 Demolition ODSTs driving the Scorpions
* 2 Demotion ODSTs driving the AA tanks
* 4 Standard ODST (AR) driving the LAAG Warthogs
* 4 Special Ops ODST (kickass aim) gunning the LAAG Warthogs
* 5 Sniper ODST
* 5 Rocket ODST
* 20 Battle Rifle ODST
* 20 AR ODST

First, I need to split the arsenal:
[color=white] Alpha:
* 5 Scorpion Tanks with 4 BR ODST (20 in all)
* 5 Scorpion Tanks with 4 AR ODST (20 in all)
* 2 AA tank [/color]

[color=red] Bravo:
* 4 LAAG Warthog with Rocket passenger [/color]

[color=yellow] Delta:
* 2 Scorpion tanks (empty passenger seats) [/color]

[color=lime] Zulu:
* 5 Sniper ODST [/color]

First, team Zulu will sneak up into enemy tertitory (small enough to stay off radar) and scout the area to give a detailed description of the area. Telling team Bravo where the Wraith tanks are positioned (exactly) so they can make the best route to the Stealth Banshees.

Team Bravo bursts in. They drive straight down the airstrip (running over any Covenant foot troops in the process) to destroy all but one of the Stealth Banshees. Team Zulu fires on (sniping) any Covenant in their sights and carries on to do so throughout the battle. One Warthog stops and its Special Ops ODST gets out and steals the lone Stealth Banshee. He radios in to nearest HQ to inform them he has a Stealth Banshee and is bringing it in (he's no longer part of the battle). The Warthog joins the others in frantically drive around the airstrip, the gunner and Rocket ODST passenger of each Warthog working together to take out 1 Wraith each.

Team Delta joins team Bravo in the assault against the Covenant on the Airstrip. They stay a little out of the battle and just fire upon the Covenant. I assume that some Banshees will be in the air by now so all LAAGs and Scorpion Turrets are to focus on taking them out of the sky (hard to do but with the concentrated fire shouldn't be too hard) whilst team Zulu and Rocket ODST take out ground troops (driver of the Warthogs kills Covenant too by running them over). Team Zulu, seeing that we need reinforcements calls in the Longsword fighters to bomb the airstrip. Team Delta pulls out, with the Sniper ODST getting on the passenger sides for transport. Team Bravo stay in the area till the Longswords warn them they're close. At the last minute team Bravo bail and the Longswords fly in, destroying the airstrip and any Covenant upon it.

As that battle is happening, team Alpha is slowly advancing on the Radar installation. Team Bravo catch them up and assist. The Covenant are alerted of the Human's presense and have already begun preparing. Banshees are flying towards them but the AA tanks quickly take them out.

As soon as the Scorpions have sight on the Wraiths they begin to fire on them. Team Bravo storm ahead to take out ground troops and Wraiths in the usual method (driver and gunner focusing on ground troops, Rocket ODST focusing on Wraiths). The Scorpion tanks continue to advance on the installation, firing potshots at anything clear of team Bravo. The Longswords come to assist and tell team Bravo to retreat back to team Alpha.

At this point team Delta have caught team Alpha up. The Snipers dig in and the tanks join team Alpha in the onslaught. The tanks continue to fire to pin the Covenant near the radar installation. The Longswords sweep over the enemies and blow them skywards. Now everyone (Alpha, Bravo, Delta and Zulu) advances on any remaining Covenant forces. The tanks concentrate fire on the radar installation; eventually blowing it up.

Good job. and thanks for pointing out the ODSTs there supposed to be handpicked anyway so anyone replying remember you get to pick what weapons they'll be using. I recomend anyone intrested in these battle plan forums to go create your own and reply to everyone elses.
