Our first AAR thread!
Note - I have always been utterly shit at remembering mission names. If someone can get a list up, I'll correct these.
MailMan
Bravo FTL
As Bravo FTL, I was ostensibly in charge of the squad & support elements for the mission. My intent was to have Tigershark & Fer circle as air support in one chopper, with Medve further out performing recon and providing intel on enemy movement. Headspace's fireteam, Charlie, was to be placed on the western side of the ravine, providing overwatch while Bravo secured the laptop and performed point-defense activities until we could extract.
Mounting up went smoothly, as one would expect, but unfortunately I crashed just before Tigershark placed Bravo on the ground. I'd love to hear about what happened next, and if my decision to split our forces by 200-300 meters was what caused our cause's eventual demise.
Fer's odd mission that involved defending a town
MG Lead
Suffix and I found a lovely little Takistani house to set up shop in, and pondered the merits of binoculars in the situation we found ourselves in. I heard the call about contacts, noticed the fireteam to my north opening up, and attempted to engage targets west. And then I crashed.
Escape & Evasion
Insurgent - Alpha RPG gunner
After discovering I couldn't mount up in the truck with Alpha FTL, I stole a motorcycle and refused to give it up when the other transport turned out to be a 'love truck'. Following the Alpha FTL pickup, I turned around as soon as we got the first contact report and dismounted when I saw an OPFOR pilot running right in front of me. I subsequently lost him in the trees, chased after him, and announced my location to the rest of my team. At this point my eyesight failed me completely, and it turns out that the entire time I was listening to Russian comms chatter I was in fact sat on top of the man doing the talking. Eventually Bit shot me. As I fell, I pressed the trigger and got one round off. Which crashed my game.
Convoy Ambush
Bravo Rifleman
Moving with 'Russian Team' was awesome. Listening to the chatter was truly atmospheric, even if I had no idea what the fuck was being said Messiah tasked me (in English!) with engaging one of the trucks once we were in position, and I hovered my sights over the driver's canopy. Once the order was given, I fired. And crashed. Pattern emerging much?
MailMan #2
Bravo Medic
We all bundled into the chopper, subject to the cruel and unusual machinations of Fer's mind. Housemaster and I dismounted and took up position at the front of the C-130, covering the forward section. Once Housemaster had called contacts, I moved around the nose of the aircraft and engaged an insurgent squad at long range. Click - Bang - Success! I got an entire magazine off without crashing! Reload! Click! Crash.
:nerdrage:
Despite my frequent crashes, however, I still really enjoyed the session. It was great to play with you all, and chatting with some of you for the first time really makes me feel this is a good place to be. Looking forward to next week! Hopefully BIS will roll out a hotfix.. Or at least fire their QA team.
