Operation "Mar Verde"
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2025 8:46 pm
Hi all,
I have finished the first historical scenario for the Subsahara mod.
It's not competitive, you won't see much combat (a few small units on a big map)
and some might will find it boring.
On the other hand, if you like the atmosphere of playing a night raid and want to learn about a daring and controversial operation that is not well known
(well, that's the point of clandestine operation, isn't it?), you'll may like it.
Extract the files to your Scenarios\Subsahara folder.
You'll also find a download link for the "Bases & Icons 28 - Guinea" mod.

Scenario description:
Operation "Mar Verde" (Green Sea)
[Conakry, Guinea, West Africa]: [SIDE A] [HIS] [Schlonz]:
In the late evening of 20th November 1970, 6 unmarked vessels departed from Soga Island in the Bijagos Archipelago,
at this time part of Portuguese-Guinea (now Guinea-Bissau). Their destination was about 170 nautical miles southeast:
Conakry, the capitol of Guinea, a country which gave considerable support to the liberation movements in southern Africa,
as to the PAIGC, the African liberation movement against Portuguese rule in neighboring Guinea-Bissau.
Aboard the vessels were 220 Portuguese and African-Portuguese soldiers and 200 Guinean insurgents from the FNLG
(Front National de Libération de Guinée), all dressed in plain soviet-style uniforms, similar to those of the Guinean army,
armed with Soviet weapons and bare of anything, which could have identified them as Portuguese. The vessels reached
their assigned positions around the peninsula the following night, and at 00:15h on November 22nd, the first troops climbed
into their boats. They were about to perform a clandestine raid against the Guinean state machinery and the PAICG,
with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the socialistic regime.
