Operation Hit Them Up High - Sunday, June 5th 2016
CaptainChaosMS
With the above mentioned idea in mind, i created OP 'Hit Them Up High' and preparations could start.
PREPARATIONS - The plan / drawing was actually made pretty quick. The idea consisted 2 fields, one smaller one with anchors in Nijverdal, Boekelo and Neuenhaus and a bigger one with anchors in Gorssel, Steinfurt en Emlicheim.
The anchors were ofcourse slightly tactical chosen in the big field, anyway not easy to reach. The Dutch Anchor in Gorssel was a portal near a ferry at the river de IJssel. From the other side of the water, you couldn’t reach it and to get to the portal by car, you would have to walk the last 600 meters. The portals in Steinfurt are located on the Buchenberg (mountain) and the portals are usually not on the trail. So here also needs to been done quit a bit of effort to reacht them. The third anchor, Emlicheim and Schoonebeek were relative easy to reach, but the advantage was that there is a pretty big distance from the bigger cities in Twente.
The keyfarming started and with a month to go, there was no reason to worry about the time.
A few weeks later there were a few hickups with the key exchanges, but a day before execution the last keys were on the right place.
THE EXECUTION - From 11.00 AM we started with the first cleansweeps. The area for the first fields were cleaned first ofcourse and it went pretty smooth. The portals in Neuenhaus were prepared a few days before by agent @wsnieders, so there was nothing to do there.
After all blocklinks were removed fielding started around 13.25 PM.
Agents @deeese, @vloxxx, @wolliewonka and @tingod074 created the fields and they were up in no time, the last of the 9 fields was up around 13.30 PM. Around 110k MU per field !
The big field had startup problems. The path to the portal in Gorssel was literally flooded so agents @headcrawler and @mcdwid were there for nothing. Now it became exciting...
After good improvasation from intel operator @iooryz fielding started from the other portals.
Agents @wsnieders, @unclebenz13, @djdilay, @CaptainChaosMS, @ramses23 and @immalya managed to create 12 fields of about 400k MU.
After a small disappointment, the fields were up at 15.35 ! And 3 people upgraded their illuminator badge. Mission accomplished !
