The team that smoked us so bad? Was their Bravo 2. The guy who popped me in the head as I was running while under fire? Mamuto.
Well played Sir, well played.
You have much to learn, young padawan. Don't let the dark side of non-party propaganda convince you otherwise.

Defending Bravo 2 FTL
Mamuto, Tink, Mr-Link, Steenkist
Second time defending on this map, and I think I learned very well from the mistakes made the first time around. We were tasked with the same sector as last time, Northwest. My fireteam spread out amongst the buildings on the outskirts of town, watching both the West and Northeast approaches. A tense 10 minutes went by without any action, sporadically hearing reports of faint engine noises and crickets. Finally NAPA decided to attack, and it was from the South. I had Bravo 2 fall back to the church, and a minute later all hell broke loose. I went to the Southern wall just in time to see enemies sprinting to cover within 50-75 meters. I yelled out contacts and opened fire on the first guy I saw (Cuddlefish
) taking him down immediately. The enemy returned fire and I
barely had time to hide behind the wall again as I watched bullets impact the cover in front of my head. I was wrong to think I was in cover, though, as GP's started raining down on us, wounding me twice. I was helped back up (thank you, kind sir) and managed another kill as some poor bastard went prone right next to the opening in the wall. Gunned him down, and then the wall collapsed around him and me, so I had to make a hasty retreat back. I think at this point StrangLove came around and wiped out the remaining assaulting force. I threw out a few GP's and MAY have hit you, man. So sorry, I had no idea you were in their midst.
The best part of the whole mission? My whole fireteam somehow lived through that brutal assault! Very proud of you guys, good job! Achievement unlocked!
Crash Site (limited to 30 mins)
Blufor Bravo 2 FTL
Mamuto, Joe, Cuddlefish, Steenkist
After a lot of confusion on where we and the other helicopter were going to land, we touched down on the Southern end of the AO and came under immediate and highly effective fire from somewhere to our North. Steenkist was killed instantly (while still inside the helicopter
) while I was wounded in the open terrain. I was ready to die there and then but the Arma gods had other plans for me. Joe and Cuddlefish threw out great smokes, got my ass back up and I had us pull immediately to the South to get as far from the machine gun of doom as possible. Only, we didn't fall back far enough, and I was wounded again. After some bush hugging, and the magical healing powers of Joe, I was back up and we made it to Bravo Squad Leaders position to the Northeast. I had us keep running, though, for I was (correctly) worried that the enemy would grab the documents and leave before we could muster up enough of an attack to stop them. Alpha by this point was pretty much gone. We ran up North along the airfield wall until we were due East of the crashsite. From here, I had Joe, Cuddlefish, and myself open fire on the enemies milling about at the site. I think I killed the guy manning the helicopter gun. I was pleasantly surprised at how effective our suppressive fire was. A lot of smoke was popped, and watching them through my binoculars I saw more than one enemy bleeding out with the rest of them scrambling about for cover.
Then the message came that they have gathered the documents and without hesitation I charged forward determined to prevent them from taking off in the chopper. As we got closer, I peppered the area with GP. As we got within 100 meters, I saw an enemy and was promptly reminded about the fact that I was not in any sort of cover. Thankfully Cuddlefish and Joe (as well as the rest of Bravo) were close enough to end the mission in our favor.

Having the same people slot for Bravo 2 was pretty awesome
What wasn't awesome was losing Cuddlefish in the first 10 seconds of the first engagement. We drove way too far forward and then parked the truck out of cover, so a lot of people were wounded or some killed
The next 15 minutes were mostly uneventful. We cleared the factory, charged through an open field, then we lost Joe to a technical, so I ended up with the M60 and only Steenkist in Bravo 2. I climbed to a rooftop and put some great effective fire on the stationary emplacements on top of the hill (love that gun) We then proceeded up North where most of Bravo got pinned down but Steenkist and I were on the left flank so we pushed up and took care of a dozen enemies including a technical (still love that m60) Then we had a tank to deal with, so I dropped the M60 and picked up a RPG and went full heroics mode, charging straight at it with complete disregard for my safety I hit it about twice, watched 4 RPGs hit it at the same time, and it still refused to die. As I was running back for cover, I was finally put down for good. Great run, though, so much adrenaline and epicness that mission.

I'll keep this one short. I watched the enemy charging from the North, managed to kill one or maybe two before they were out of my line of sight. Then came a hail of grenades that somehow managed to knock down my entire fireteam. I covered as Wires was medic'd back up and then decided to flank around the back of the attackers only to be shot by Ferrard
The party Politbureau will hear about your war crimes!
Great fun was had this mission. I'm loving the high player counts we've been getting in 2013! I'll see you guys next Sunday!
