Subject: Pirates of the Skeleton Coast
Godofgamblers    12/6/2009 10:30:58 PM
Inspired by the Somali pirates and their multi million dollar ransoms, groups of pirates try the same on the coast of Namibia. They take a group of Europeans hostage from the Skeleton Coast National Park. They are hidden in the rugged terrain of the Skeleton Coast: they could be anywhere, on the beaches, in the Desert or in forest area. The French, British and US all propose sending SF teams. What is the strategy that should be used? What is the insertion/extraction plan? What are the chances of success? Or is it simply easier to pay the ransom...
