[GM] 22 August 2020 (Most effective IFV cannon)

Post by Teifiterror »

12 time travellers headed back to the 1980s and found that you dont need GPS or fancy equipment or body armour to survive, you just need a seriously overpowered cannon stuck on-top of an IFV that destroys buildings at will in a shower of sparks and explosions.

A fantastic evening, great fun to get to use the GM assets with everyone. Our first missions saw us "gradually" transition into the 1980's by bringing some of our normal equipment with us from the future, sadly it proved useless against the hardened 1980s soldiers and we were surrounded almost immediately. From this point on we got into the grove and the failure of the first mission spurred us on to greater and greater success (helped mostly be some ferocious IFV cannons) and some very effective weaponry of a calibre more effective in its stopping power.

Runlist:
  • Yesterdays War [Co-op]
  • Nightlight [Co-op]
  • Turbulence [Co-op Zeus]
  • Small Town Blues[Co-op]
  • No Mans Air [Adversarial]
  • House Rules [After Party]

Yesterday's War
We continued our tradition of failing the first mission of the night miserably.
We sneaked up on the enemy, got them all, took out enemy vehilce, charged at a church with a cemetary. Suddenly we found ourself surrounded by enemy and got eliminated. Two brave comrades survived a little bit longer behind a concrete wall, until a single AI took them out with a well placed grenade.

Nightlight

Luckily, we were able to see after the initial period of darkness.
We tried to take the enemy compound. The enemy in this one looked very much like friendly units. A lot of friendly fire happened in this on. Sorry teifi for downing you once. I only saw your helmet which looked very much like the enemy. We quickly ran out FACs and without a medic we managed to finish this mission barely.

Turbulence
Our mission was to locate crashed planes and blow them up. I played as the one carrying the charges. We did fairly well, although we might have skipped the part about "rescuing any survivors"? However, in the end we posed as practice targets for the FLAK. Mission completed, we all died.

Small Town Blues
interesting mission. We charged over an open field but were then able to use railroad tracks as cover. We cleared the buildings one after the other and completed the mission.

No Mans air
First advesarial in a long time. Opfor used their metal box as a distraction, while we were sneaking between the fences. We got ambushed from the woods. Oyst nearly ran me over the said metal box, but I managed to barely take him out with my AT. Unfortunately, I downed myself and ultimately died in the field. Teifi performed a desperate move to run Costno over, but failed. Shado got hit shortly afterwards.
