I'm not sure what the hell happened to A3 and ASL, but by the time we got to them, everyone but one man was dead, and by the time we got him back up, he'd lost connection to the server and his AI just stood there doing nothing. It was a little spooky, ASL hadn't crested the hill, and we couldn't spot any enemies on our side and nobody was shooting at us and there wasn't anywhere that had a line on both the point where ASL fell and where A3 was overrun.
It's the Armauda Triangle, obviously. :lol:

There was a small squad of enemies inside RA-1, which we did not account for.

Where? There weren't any on the western slope where we were, and ASL died below the crest of the hill and there weren't any bodies by A3. Did they just charge from west to east over the crest and into fire from Bravo and A1?

I was in A3 during The Citadel. One minute we were cresting the hill and scanning ahead, then people were going down. I died immediately.

Got into spectate mode and could see two blues (enemies) moving across the hill from our position, northwards I guess... Silenced weapons, must be ninjas (baseball cap on one of them too I think, so possibly gangsters). They were quick too, by the time I'd moved into slotting, laughed with grizzly and found them they must have been nearly out of RA1...

I took a screenshot of A3's line formation: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =444641687

Poop. They must have come up behind ASL from somewhere to our east, screened from us by the trees, then hit you guys from behind and escaped into the valley and defilade from us by the time we got to you. A neat bit of timing - a few seconds either side and we'd have hosed them down or you would have.

Yep - they were scarily efficient.

Hear hear! I thought my plan of moving a infantry unit through that would bring us a swift victory! How wrong was I and how we paid for that!

And then I found that MSI had eaten almost all of my video. Screw that stupid program, I'm going back to OBS and I'll use an ABO to filter the mic instead of doing it in post.
Sorry my settings didn't work for you... :/
