So this was pretty good fun. We moved out, and i decided that a2-marker was probably safe, and decided to drive directly there, gung-ho style.
There was, of course, a man with an AK on the roof, but he managed to miss us by a hairs width!
A1 got shot up a little, but the compound was secured and we got tready to move onwards. We started moving along the pipelines towards the compound and met little to no resistance before we hit the wall. There were enemies to the east, so we stacked up on the west and moved in.
After clearing the compound we had to wait for quite some time. That was okay in the beginning, but all of a sudden we started getting torn apart in the compound. Considering the insane amount of enemies outside that wasn't too weird, but at the time it seemed slightly off.
After waiting some more we were told to withdraw, and thereafter we moved on a gas station with Charlie. That was ok, but then we were put in charge of a somewhat suicidal run towards another compound, where i, not surprisingly, died.
I'd love to do this mission again, but for the love of Aziz, give us the recon-heli!

We all have to lose to Fer sometime, i guess, and this was my time. The idea was to move in a convoy for our initial run into the city. We'd move west and then south, whereafter Alpha would set up a blocking/overwatch force to the north, whilst Bravo would move in from the south towards the caches to the south-east to keep the pressure up.
Unfortunately Bravo thought we were to dismount where we were not, so they lagged behind. This made it easy for Alpha to be totally skewered. Meanwhile, Bravo moved towards the first cache location, but by the time they got there i was dead. Yay.
In retrospect i think i should have kept Alpha more mobile. They were told to hunker down and engage the enemy i expected to the north. It might have been an idea to move from west to east and back again on and around the main road, instead of staying in one spot. The basic idea was to keep the enemy out of the south whilst we looked for caches, so i might try that some time.

Yay! I lost our first A3 mission.
And i managed to get our first A3 teamkill!
(sorry awaitz)
The plan was to do some good old fashioned squad-bounding until we reached the city, and then section it off and use one squad to clear whilst the other was a lookout. We managed to make it to the city, i'll grant us that, but we fell completely apart soon afterwards. Which was a shame, since the city was quite beautiful, and it would look much better with rivers of the enemy's blood than rivers of OUR blood. Oh well, can't have it all.
