Crash Site
Asl for blufor (I believe)
Alpha was originally tasked with landing just outside AO but due to fog, the CO ordered the pilot to land roughly smack dab in the middle to speed up our locating the wreckage. where we landed had no cover nor any close enough to really run too. we soon came under fire and got slowly torn apart from enemies in the hills and trees while bravo secured the wreck and stuff happened??
Roadside
BSL
I got the glorious honour of being first command element to die for the party!! my plan was pretty simple, get everyone up the hill quick quick quick. which I have to say. bravo did very well, so props to you guys! once we up the hill we immediately started seeing enemies on our hill and the opposite one Alpha was on, both far away and up close. we engaged them with gusto. myself shooting and launching GP rounds from my poor rock cover. Then the thought occured to me: "I'm not in very good cover I should move to better cover.." and was promptly shot the moment I started moving. Bodge did a excellent job taking over Bravo. just stay away from rocks bodge
Goose Chase
A1 Ftl
A1 consisted of Myself, Lynche, and Stoner. I like to think we were team Alpha badass, while A2 was team greenies trying to show off how cool they are
(kidding of course
) We landed at our LZ to the west of Mog in an attempt to intercept any indfor moving east with ASL while A2 tried a risky rooftop landing on the castle north of us where they lost 2 in the attempt (1 successfully got out while one stayed in the chopper.) and then the A2 ftl got arma'd by a wall. The pings revealed the hostages were going north so we had to haul ass north to A2 to get back on the chopper and land north of the hostages position and the three of us went south as superU took fire from stary sobor. prehaps we should of moved at a bit slower pace but we really wanted to intercept the hostages before they got ahead of us. we basically blundered into the enemy while they were all preoccupied shooting at superU above who was strafing them with the sole survivor from A2 on the gun. I think the ASL was behind a little ways but I'm not sure. Stoner got injured while we took out the first enemy and Lynche was ordered to give him assistance while I pushed forward to try and keep pressure on them.
I ran out onto a road where bodge got the drop on me and we traded fire and I went prone hoping to trick bodge into thinking he killed me and kept shooting him till he infact died. I was almost in the middle of them, I died from someone else shortly after, Stoner and Lynche died shortly before me.
Broney
IFV 1(1?) driver
We drove around for a bit getting behind Alpha. shortly after linking up with them we took a RPG shot to our left track leaving us barely mobile (but only on downhill slopes) so we wiggled walked (wiggle drove?) out way forward at an inch an hour until we were able to hit a down slope and could actually move forward at the pace of not-death.
we got to another intersection where I saw contacts up in the hills to the north and faced the IFV towards the enemy, and was shortly after ordered to proceed south. and we took another RPG that killed out gunner and the IFV. then myself and the ifv commander ran around with the remains of alpha.
Combined Assault
CO/ASL/JTAC
I'm not CO often, it still terrifies me to a fair degree but I stepped up to the proverbial
landmine plate and sent Alpha south through the marsh. My game plan was too sweep south clearing out and hostile we meet and then proceed up the hill to clear out the AA nest in order to give Hera unrestricted airspace to cover us. then push through Zaros with the tank close by us to protect it. and onward to the last two objectives. Surprisingly things went almost to plan. We cleared the marsh and the village after it with minimal losses. I sent the tank northward around the marsh unsupported (unwise I know but I wasn't confident it would be able to make it through the marsh, and I hoped hera would be able to cover both Alpha and Theia from the air) and only encountered moderate resistance when we started crossing the stream inlet. We lost Hera somewhere around this point?
we had to double back to rescue A1 who when too far north and encountered a enemy patrol. then we crossed again and proceed to push to a street of houses below the hill. I wanted to to quickly sweep the immediate area hopefully preventing us from getting shot in the back. it didn't but we managed to pour enough fire back down at them quick enough that we didn't lose a man. the assault on the actual AA nest was a bit more difficult and as we cleared it we engaged enemies on the other slope of the hill. the plan was to lightning strike up the hill then retreat back down from where we came from. That proved to be someone difficult getting everyone to stop shooting and retreat.
Once we got back down the hill the tank somehow... exploded. so we proceeded through zaros trying not to get bogged down in firefights (we did) and get slowly whittled down to maybe 6-8 brave comrades. upon which we found the remains of dancemoox's shoddy piloting
after that we did a brave charge on the solar power plant.
