It didn't do the job..... all I managed to do is get shot and while I was trying to give out enemy positions I got brutally executed
Next up was the atmospheric UNarmed. Set in Altis and surrounded by fog, with a constant mortar barrage around us, our high speed, low drag team of UN peacekeepers/mercenaries went inside the town that looked like 1990's Grozny, to look for civilians. First died the FTL's, then the SL, and then the 2IC of FT's. After rescuing two groups of civilians, there were only 4 of us left. Since I held the mapcase rank and my medic's bag looked a bit like a mapcase, I took command of our group and set out to rescue the 3rd group of civilians. As we made our way through the rubble, we lost one more guy.
Things weren't looking very optimistic for us, but we persisted in spite of losing a comrade and having some close calls with mortars falling in compounds next to us. Soon enough, we managed to get to those civilians and rescue them, but as we were getting out of the town, I noticed orange lines on the floor and sure enough some explosions followed a few seconds later. I realized what was happening and we legged it to the evac point as fast as we could. In the end, only 3 of us survived, but the mission was successful, with acceptable causalities
Continuing the UN theme for the session, we took up arms in UNcontested and defended our base in Shapur against a land based invasion from the North and against a Russian QRF air assault force from the South. I was driving the totally-for-peacekeeping-purposes camouflage green T-72B with ERA armor. In the mission Harakka had some doubts against shooting helicopter pilots with the tank, but I assured him that those guys in blue jumpsuits and pistols are as dangerous as a venereal disease for married men that were on a business trip to Bangkok.
Overall the mission was a success and I think we did quite well.
With our spirits high, we defended an UN humanitarian outpost in Bystrica in Kale's mission UNwelcome guests. I was an FTL in A1 and Bodge was the ASL. The plan was to have a 360 coverage of the town. My team was split between two buildings and when things got too hot the whole squad consolidated in those buildings, because there were only like 5 enterable structures in the whole town, but these two weren't spread out, so we could support each other. We were pretty effective and I think the whole squad didn't lose a man.... at least A1 didn't. All the enemies were dead, the extraction chopper was on it's way and it seemed that nothing could go wrong. Oh boy how wrong was I. When the chopper landed, the back door was open and like apes, people started to pile at the back not realizing that you can't fucking board the chopper from there. At the end someone had the bright idea to vault in the chopper, which resulted in tipping the Mi-8 and killing us all in a fiery explosion.
Next up was Piece of cake, made by Boberro and set in Vt5 Finland. I took the command in this one and we were supposed to clear out an industrial facility that was occupied by Russian Spetsnaz troops. Seemed simple enough, so I made plan where we would drive to the edge of the forest, disembark, go on foot to a nearby farmstead and try to get some eyes on the industrial complex. Seems simple enough, but unfortunately it was too advanced for some people as they drove into the actual industrial complex, triggered the enemies and died in seconds. I mean what the actual fuck was that Bormanov? Anyway, we went to the farmstead, enemies were already pouring out of the industrial complex and soon enough we were surrounded. We retreated to an old wooden shack, but the Russians continued to shoot us through the walls with their wallhack enabled. So I made the decision to retreat further North into the woods. For a moment, I thought we managed to disengage and get to safety, but soon enough..... they caught up to us and proceeded to murder us through the thick vegetation.
Thank you Boberro for force feeding us your PTSD cake
We ended the session with the inaugural RPK mission, Finca I. Set in Malden 2035 and this time in the day as we went ZU hunting in three farmsteads. I was commanding the BTR and we were on overwatch and battle taxi duty. After seeing a DShKA up close and personal, nobody wanted to ride on top of the BTR
Anyway, the mission went quite well, we located the ZU's, the groundpounders were alive and the BTR didn't die in a fireball, so I chalked it up as an success
Full mission runlist:
- Old Fashioned
