Always a pleasure!
Redbears - Bravo SL
After hanging around the airfield for a while waiting for the taxichopper to return, we piled in and wended our way through some hills towards the AO, to join Alpha who had already landed. We started taking some fire as we came in for our approach, but the pilot was able to swing away into a valley and get us landed safely.
Our LZ was just south of a ridge with some windmills on it, and we dug in for a while to engage some enemies who were patrolling there before moving up to capture it. With a good view of the town and plenty of gunfire letting us know how Alpha was doing at taking it, we received intel about some patrols on the road just to our north and moved forward to engage them.
Catching sight of them, we sneakily snuck into the trees to engage, which was successful other than me getting killed. From there I believe the squad moved up into the town, and got massacred.
AirEola - AAF (attacking) CO
With a nearly full strength Alpha and a smaller Bravo, I had to search an area around a few small towns for 8 caches, and destroy half of them. The main town in the centre looked scary, so I decided to avoid it and send Alpha to clear the suburb to the southeast, while Bravo landed in the W/SW to covertly take out some of the more outlying caches. Using their Wildcat to scout, they were able to track down and destroy two of them with few to no casualties, so bravo, Bravo!
Meanwhile Alpha sustained contact almost immediately on landing from a technical. it wasn't able to down our chopper but it did give us a run for our money as we advanced into the small town, killing several of us. Wolfenswan's A3 hooked north to hunt it down, eventually managing to neutralise it while A1+2 cleared out the town. Bravo had destroyed one cache, and we also found one in the first area we searched.
At this point we were taking contact from a small farm complex to the north; at the same time our chopper reported that there seemed to be a cache there. As Bravo destroyed a third cache, making the one near us the last one, I called everyone in to assault it. They fought hard and took out several of us, including me, but luckily Bravo aircav landed and solved the problem for us, clearing into the compound defended by just Egg, and blowing it. Victory!
Morning Sortie - MRAP Gunner (Bravo)
Another mission where I died fairly early on. We had to agitate one town, drawing in reinforcements that would be ambushed by Alpha, who set up at a junction along the connecting road. Us and our big gun accompanied Bravo, with us slowly moving up a road into town while they flanked around via a gully.
We took contact soon and repeatedly, including advancing patrols, distant sentries, and even a technical or two, and we were holding our own pretty well -- however, when ordered to return to Bravo, I foolishly sent us across the front of the hill rather than looping around the back of it, which resulted in us taking a fatal amount of fire from the town. BOOM!
RockPaperScissors - BLUFOR ASL/CO
Woo, another mission o' mine! The aim of this adversarial was for each team to cross over into the opposing town and destroy a tank there, with the option of taking an abandoned attack helo and/or anti-air vehicle from in between the two towns.
I had the crew abandon the tank and join our other fireteam to head for the AAV, while me and INinja32 the medic stayed back to defend it. We stole the AAV with no resistance, just in time for the attack helicopter, stolen by the other team, to spool up and try to take off. They got blown up and shot down, leaving us to make a break for the enemy town and try to kill their tank. We arrived quickly, but had a devil of a time actually tracking down the target as it had been cunningly hidden in a garage. At the same time, me and Ninja got engaged and taken out by the enemy's main force, leaving our tank defenseless.
Fortunately my own lack of foresight saved us, as I had only given the infantry regular AT launchers instead of something properly capable of taking out a tank. This resulted in our tank shrugging off the enemy rocket, while we were eventually able to track down theirs and blow it up with the AAVs cannons.
(I'm working on an updated version of this, and shall add futurejavelins along with some other tweaks!).
