Re: [Sat] 10 Feb 2018 (Turbans in the jungle)
I very nearly slept through the session again, and was too late to play in the first mission, Dorres (Small).
After stealing a(n unfortunately dead) slot from Halop (who's PC crashed) I was treated to a view of Bormanov being sneaky. For about ten minutes.
I should probably include a note that solo snekng for that long is illegal in the briefing of that house-rules-based adversarial.
The next mission was a not-yet-played Vanilla on Takistan, Mechanical Sunshine. This one included us as NATO with SPAR-16s (crappy guns) and a Marshall going through and clearing compounds. I was A1 lead in this mission, and I took much advantage of having a 148 to turn the internal speaker on so everyone could hear Fer and I didn't have to bother repeating everything.
After a little while of marching through and clearing totally AI-free compounds, we eventually made contact with the enemy by shooting an SPG-9, after which there was much gunfire and we retreated downhill toward more to-be-liberated compounds. Much compound clearing and gunfire, and I died on the fifth such compound.
A bit later, and Gong 1 died without warning to a Titan missile the Guerrillas had somehow acquired. Bormanov then got in a Technical for whatever reason and also shortly died to a Titan missile, after which Halop inspected his burning corpse and then died to a secondary explosion.
More advancing, shooting, advancing, and getting trapped in a small town as a sudden swarm of hostiles appeared. Much AI teabagging, Mission Failed.
Object was next, the 3IFB attack on a science outpost. Many unarmed soviet scientists were killed, and all was good. The mission went altogether well.
Then came exfiltration time, and the Commander proceeded to sail away leaving us without enough passenger space to fit everyone. Which proceeded to no longer matter as A1 and A2 rammed their boats into eachother, killing at least half of us. Mission (sort of) Success.
Green Dragon started weirdly (and awesomely with new M14 and M60), because instead of just giving my (FTL) radio to Mortar team we ended up getting bogged down for a bit spawning 148s for everyone instead. I died very quickly in the chaos after second contact - First contact had gone swimmingly.
The real highlights of the mission, though, were to be seen in Spectator. Almost immediately after I died, someone spotted a BRDM literally sneaking up on MTR and the M113. That went poorly for MTR, though the M113s survived.
Next, A1 was massacred and almost everyone went down or died. Fer's "Do you copy?"'s sounded out through the huts from my 148 (of which I had also turned the speaker on) eerily.
Then the M113, having been unanswered, ran a suicide charge straight into town...and A1 had miraculously resurrected while I wasn't watching and put a LAW through a BTR, and much more gunfire proceeded to happen.
Then Kalel accidentally on purpose shot Bormanov, and Fer accidentally on purpose shot Kalel, in that order, bringing an end to the mission.
