America's Army/SF Snake Plain Tactics

New to 2.7, SF Snake Plain is a 9 vs AI map. It features a large desert area, with a fort at the center, and a few outposts around. This is also the map that features the HMMWVs, which allow ease of trasportation between the spawn, outpost, and the fort.

 * 1) Secure intel. The Obj resembles a map or sort.
 * 2) Free the POW
 * 3) Thermite Stinger Cache. The Obj is a white cache.
 * 4) Thermite Mortar Cache. The Obj is a white cache.

Walkthrough
The 9 men squad comsisted of 4xSOPMOD, 2x SAW, 1x M82, and 1x SPR; One of these 8 member will also carry a Javelin around. They will spawn in an area around the northeast quadrant. As well, there is also the POW, held somewhere around the map.

The POW, however, is not helpless; he can free himself by looking at the lock and holding down the "use" key (default F). Once the lock is picked, Objective B is done. When he is free from the cell, he should pick up a weapon from the table nearby (the one with the radio on it). The weapon is either a RPK, AK-47, or the M9 pistol + 2 clips. With that done, he should proceed to the door nearby.

At that moment, the SAI will come on line, telling where the POW is. POW could either be in one of the many outpost, or in the Fort's basement. If he is in basement, he is in luck, as his captured weapon is also at the same level. Look around; there should be his SOPMOD (with his configuration) + 3 clips, 3xFrag, 3x Smoke, 2x Thermite, and 2x Door Breacher. Also, he should see if Obj A or Obj C is in that level.

If POW appears in one the the outposts, he should look around to see if the Mortar cache is around. If so, report to the allies.

Sniping

The hills to the left of the approach are good for sniping. Get the driver to drop you off there. Go into supported mode and take down as many OPFOR as you see. There is usually about four that you can get easily (two or three on the roof and one on patrol in front of the gate).

If the front gate gets breachedyou then get a clear shot at two or three more OPFOR.

Don't hang around too long or you may get hit by mortars.
