Nutcracker
Alpha FTL
Alpha got the glorious job of staying on the road together with our wonderful tank. I kept two people on each side of the road and trundled along waiting for the inevitable horror. Bravo started getting shot at to our left, but alpha and charlie was ordered to continue. (We had one minute left 'till timeout, so it makes sense.) We then encountered the MAT+barricade of doom and took so many RPG rounds as to be completely obliterated. Ouch!
It seems to me that 15 minutes is a bit on the short side for this mission. 20 might make it more bearable, but as it was we just almost made it to the village south of the endzone, and that was w/o any major vehicle mishaps. There should be some way for TankFOR to halt and recon, otherwise the tank will get blown to bits by MAT really, really easily.
Treehuggers
A1 FTL
Oh, these forests again.... We tend to die in forests a lot. It was with boundless optimism and past experiences physically removed from my brain by surgery that i once again set out through the forests of Treehuggers. We were under strength, two squads, and no BRDM to sweep up for us and shoot at stuff. This would be ugly, and, indeed, it was.
Alpha had the left side of the road, and we moved slowly and surely, lagging behind BRavo, who dashed madly ahead to the right. Our first encounter involved enemies who had the gracefulness to actually BE ON THE ROAD, making it possible to come by almost unscathed. Of course, immediately afterwards, when moving through the next line of trees we start getting hit from whoknowswhere. This led to the usal "everybody dies with only a hazy understanding of where we are being shot at from"-scenario that starts to seem familiar, as if from a dream....... (NOTE : increase subject brainwashing drug doses)
But seriously, the confused forest death is a classic, but i'm growing weary of it. I'd like to CO this mission once to see what staying on the road will lead to..... And dear me, i wonder what will happen if we ever make it to the red circle with an exclamation point in it...
