[QUOTE="Agback, post: 2892078, member: 5328"] Make the plane a nuclear-armed bomber, to help the military create a public flap, and justify such precautions as evacuating the town and erecting a cordon. I would be tempted to put some sort of nuctear emergency teams on all the approach roads, but I'm not sure that Briatin has such. I would put lots of infantry out to patrol the Levels, anyway. But with a plane-crash scenario you wouldn't get to issue them with live ammo or with orders to shoot or to call in mortar strikes. What you have to hope is that the PCs will shoot and kill a bunch of unarmed soldiers. When that happens you announce that terrorists are trying to steal the bombs off the plane, issue a terrorist alert, issue live ammo, etc. That's sad. People being friendly won't issue suicidal orders such as ordering that multi-million pound bits of kit be crashed into hills. Field fortifications like that are much less effective at channelling infiltrators than they are at channelling assaults. I wouldn't count on them to have much effect. That isn't feasible. The Well is in a walled garden surrounded by other buildings: shops and so forth. There is lots of blocking cover all around it. And lines of sight from the top of the Tor are, as I recollect, close off by a belt of trees as well. You had better put a platoon of armoured infantry outside the garden and a patrol of SAS inside. Mobile machine-gun turrets? Use [i]Warrior[/i] AIFVs. They give you a 30mm cannon, a 7.62mm chaingun, smokescreens. And you get four with each platoon of armoured infantry. [/QUOTE]
