A superp session, especially Rebound. I really enjoy playing with Folk ARPS, this is the community I was hoping to find when I first started with Arma. (And no, nobody was holding a Gun to my Head when I wrote this...
)
Poctalon
INDFOR Alpha 1 FTL with Aido, Steven and Pickers
When I first read the Mission description, I thought: damn this is going to be like CrashSite last Saturday... As it turns out, it was even more brutal.
Alpha was ordered to secure a Radiotower on a hill and scan for the Helo Crash Site, but even climbing up and using my Binocs, I couldn't see s**t. It was just to damn foggy. So after getting clearance from HQ, we moved further to the "RedZone" to get a better look at things. A3 spotted the wreck, but OPFOR where already in possesion of the Data we had to seize. So we where ordered to support A2 in retrieving it. In order to support A2 we had to move over an open field with ZERO cover, and A2 in the urgent need of our support, I ordered my Fireteam to dash across.... all at once... turns out haste can get you killed. i lost my AT and AAR to
two pilots from OPFOR!!! I brutaly killed them with hate...
So me and Steven (AR) moved up to the next ridge to put some fire onto OPFOR so that A2 could get the Data. but the round went to OPFOR as they succeeded in getting the Bus to safety.
Warlords Inc
BLUFOR Alpha 3 FTL with Aido, Greyeric, Steven
In order to kill the Warlords hidding in a village, our CO devised a Plan to block all access roead with his Fireteams and flush out the enemy with the command squad using the Helo.
So we took up position east of the village but we had to cover two roads with four men. So I split my team up and went up a small hill to get some Intel on enemy positions. As soon as I spotted them on a mountain they saw me, but being more than 1km away I didn't think they would engage. They did however pop a few rounds in my direction and managed to scratch my ear, which caused me to cry like a little girl for the rest of the mission. I was so angry at them shooting of my ear i orderd my AR to come to me and fire at the mountain, with me guiding his fire through my Binocs. We didn't kill anybody, but frankly my plan worked out and the EI fled from the ridge.
Essentially that was all the action we where going to get, our CO got shot, Audiox stepped up and we where ordered closer to the village, but it was all over to soon.
BLUFOR Victory!
Rebound
Charlie SL with C1 FTL Willem and C2 FTL Tink
This was my first time as SL! And frankly, i really enjoyed it, will be stepping up more often now, possibly even to CO as soon as I fell like it.
First of all, thank you Willem and Tink following my orders as best as you could and being able to give me full reports the moment I asked for them. I had very clear comms with my squad, allowing me to plan with HQ, and Command Channel was very clean and clear. (How did i miss Iceraisers porn stash?!
)
At first, I thought Charlie was the first Squad to be whiped out as we where only two Fireteams with no vehicle support compared to Alpha and Bravo. But we only had the first contact in the first village Since all the EI where all over Alpha and Bravo on the mountains
. With A and B providing coverfire, I moved my Fireteams into town to clear out the enemy, which as I recall was our job, but Bravo wanted all the glory and charged down the Hill right into the center of the EI. all I could do is watch two Bravo members dying, and I ordered my Fireteams to support them. Seeing that the whole village was swamped with Enemys, I only allowed one Fireteam to move when it was coverd by the other, since Bravo was no longer on the mountain covering us.
Well we seized the town with no losses for Charlie since Bravo took the brunt of the fighting, we only had to mop up the remaining straglers that Bravo left behind. I ordered my Fireteams to dig in and wait for the counterattack. It was retailiated very effectively, and we could move on. I had C2 on the mountain overlooking the next village and I told all Squads to "Stand down"
until we get Intel from C2. This lead to some confusion, and Command Channel was suddenly swarmed with "what the the hell do you want us to do?!". Bravo thought I told them to stand up to get shot, Alpha promptly stopped firing, thinking I meant "Cease Fire".
Luckily somebody whisperd to me te correct words: "
Hold postion" Looks like clear Instructions are very important...
So as soon as I got the Intel from C2 and marked it in Command Chat on the map, all squads where clear to move on. I blabberd to my medic about If we do this or that, if he can support C1 in town.... "Nothun WRONG CHANNEL" it screached in my Ears.... thanks Draakon, I stayed in CC
At least command knew that my medic was still alive
C1 and 2 worked marvouslly together, flanking and mopping up, with Bravo still taking heavy fire, and losing their SL. (Essentialy I sent my squads to flank the EI killing of Bravo, thats why Charlie took no losses in the mission) After someone stepped up, bravo killed the last Enemy General, and Victory was ours.
Ride of the Valkyries
OPFOR Bravo AR with FTL Bones, Nimrod and Chuckles
What can a say, after getting out of the Helo, I moved about 500m to our rally point, only to be shot in the head by an enemy marksman.
Thanks for the awsome session guys!
