This mission pitted us against the British Forces. It also took place on that small desert map , the name of which eludes me.
What does not elude me is that we get frequently killed fast on this map. This happened again.
This time we experienced getting killed by IFVs, whos complete lack of dying to our RPGs made them cocky enough to drive up to us and taunt us from inside their vehicles.
It is incidences like this which make we wonder if BIS games wouldn't make a great medieval combat sim if you only replaced the tanks with knights on horseback.

Lots of fog. If there is a lesson to be learned for me here is that a situation with low visibility if you remain stationary the enemy will eventually find a way to shoot you in the back.

The mission was to capture (or kill.. ) two warlords in the vicinity of Zargabad. I had 2 Squads and a elite Force Recon Delta SF Team to achieve this. On the logistical side we had two Blackhawks(MH-60), one LittleBird(MH-6) and one LittleBird-Attack-Heli(AH-6) in our inventory.
We may or we may not have achieved the objectives. We at least established two warlord vacancies. If they quit themselves or we killed them seems to be a point of dispute.
I don't know what lesson is to be learned from this mission. I tried to play it safe and have the 2 squads bound all the way to both objectives, but in the end people died just the same as with a more risky plan. It might be more helpful to try more risky plans to lessen the time dead people spend in spectator mode.
As I expected, Light-Attack-Gun-Platforms such as the AH-6 and improvised ones like the MH-60 don't survive long in a CAS capacity. On the other hand, having pilots sit back due to the lack of suitable targets or due to safety is an unfortunate situation as well. It might be a interesting idea to have inserting pilots at least take on another role after they done their pilot job.
Its a shame the recon mission of Delta Force took a bad turn. I would like to see more Recon in Arma, but this might be more suited to TvT missions. And I guess it might be suited to larger operations . So if there ever will be missions with Battalions and stuff in Arma24 , I hope Recon is a suitable and fun occupation to have in a mission.
