We exploded things and then died, we hid in bushes then died, we died and exploded ourselves and finally we just died. A count of around 40 players give or take started rather slowly but we quickly got into the swing of things. Thanks very much for playing, see you Tuesday or next Sunday.

Highway HMG Assistant

I haven't played with you Folk for ... over half a year now. So I figured to stay low and catch my bearings again and picked an assistant position. Stranglove managed perfect not-into-a-rock teleport, and we set up nice little firing position on a hill, overlooking the whole road. We were to engage targets 500 - 800 meters away, well within our efective range. My rangefinder, bought from vegetable vendor earlier that day, paid of as well. I don't know if dushka can set range, but i called distances anyway, mainly to show off my new favorite toy.

When first BMP was hit, the rest of the convoy dismounted and we opened fire. Me calling short/over with my rangefinder, Stranglove managed 2 partial mobility kills. We then supressed the hell of anything in target area and ran out of ammunition.

Moving in, we each looted RPG from enemy soldiers and went into the fray. Maybe by mistake, maybe by intent we passed our comrades and found ourselves exposed to enemy fire. Stranglove was hit, and by the time area was safe to move in, dead. So I at least draged his body into friendly compound. I hope party will pay for his burial.

I joined what I suppose was Alpha road blocking team and we charged forward. Filled with anger for Strangloves death, I rushed little too far and got promptly shot by well positioned enemy. At least I saw him.

Good memories

Highway: Bravo squad medic

I was just hanging back and chilling with the rest of Bravo squad at the beginning, frustrated that modern medicine had not yet found a cure for teleportintoarockitis, listening to the cries of the poor fireteam as they slowly calcified to death. Thankfully, those cries were soon replaced by the screams of Alpha squad as they sprung the ambush. We rushed up to support the effort, and I was able to heal a few of our wounded comrades who had taken shelter in buildings and compounds before we beat our hasty retreat.

Treehuggers: Alpha 3 FTL

Under Bodge's careful direction, we swept through the forest on the eastern side of the road. Upon reaching a set of low walls, the unseen enemy set upon us. The fireteams spread out to try and flank the enemy, but midway through the maneuver the enemy seemed to have a fortuitous arrival of reinforcements, and we had to retreat and regroup at heavy loss. Alpha lead was down, Alpha 1 FTL was down, and Alpha 2's radio was broken, so it fell to me to take heroic command of the squad. As I was radioing in to command to apprise them of our situation and ask for orders, the enemy rudely exploded me mid-sentence. It was one of my better tenures in command.

Cacheola: Bluefor Bravo 2 AR

Kefirz drove the humvee around while I manned the gun. While I suppressed buildings and the enemies inside them, the rest of the squad cleared compounds of caches and were shot to death. Soon, it was just me and Kefirz against the world. After getting trustworthy intelligence about the last cache's location, we zoomed off toward the compound, which, after a few rounds from my turret, promptly exploded.

2 Days 2 Retirement: Rockers Bravo 1 FTL

After mistakenly believing I was the Bravo 2 FTL (damn I am unfit for command) and getting rightly told off for it, I took my team the the complex of barns on the east side of town, where command held us in reserve. We crouched in our buildings and listened as team after team was eliminated by the invading cops. To command's great credit, the plan to keep us as a final holdout worked beautifully and even exceeded my own tendency to cock things up. As the cops crested over the western rise, we opened fire, and the members of my squad acquitted themselves most skillfully. Drunk on success, I ran out to bandage up a fallen rocker and was promptly shot halfway to my destination.

Treehuggers Charlie 1 FTL

So, there I was, my first command after a long time. Charlie's task was close support to our tank. But someone forgot to tell the tank commander
We tried to keep up with the tank and got badly shot up every time tank encountered resistance, as we sprinted around him heroically into enemy fire.
It didn't end well.

Cacheola Alpha 2 FTL
After shining success as FTL I picked this slot again. We advanced under cover of our humwee on leftmost flank. On second stop my VON got properly wonky and my squad stoped responding to orders. After calling for suppressing fire the umpteenth time, I finally figured what the problem was and we could move out.

We got under ugly sporadic fire in the open from a second floor of some compound. I asked for heavy fire on the enmy from our humwee and moved with Xenu for the kill. We cleared the first floor, and waiting under the stairs I called for more suprresing fire on second floor.

Then the piece of sh... poor takistani architecture fell on our heads. The building crumbled on us, and any enemy which might have been on the second floor probably died in it. I stood there in the middle of the rubble with Xenu, laughing like maniacs

Command begun wondering where the hell Alpha 2 was by that time, and we regrouped. On time. Without being asked 5 times. Whichever underling says otherwise will be shot.
Advancing on another compound we were shot by some native coward/heroic freedom fighter when we were having another communication breakdown.

2 days to retirement Bravo 2 Rocker
We were rocking around the clock, having whole lotta love when johny b. goode came to us that there were some dancing queens coming from south.
We were in apple orchard (cite - gotta protect those apples, dude) and we were waiting. In the breaks between admiring apples and thinking about smoking something, I spotted bunch of wussies coming from our northwest, so we gave them some of ours great balls of fire.

We were naded to death. I mean, are attack grenades even legal for police forces, dude?

When dealing with anti-social counter-revolutionary elements that do not submit themselves for re-education the Party approves the use of force up to and including fixed-wing CAS. So comrade, the next time you are tempted to smoke something illegal, remember that it could all end in tears and air-to-ground missiles.

It's terribly late, but here is, in fact, fun footage from this, my week of incompetence



We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.
