Rescue - OPFOR Alpha Rifleman
Not too much to say here, being one of the first to die. I got shot returning fire on the minaret after we were engaged.
Airfix - MAT Gunner
Trailing along with Alpha, I realised we had zero visibility on the BRDM's coming up the road so legged it across to the other half of the sqaud. Along the way the first was blown up, but we ran into the second. My first shot ploughed into the ground, but the second hit home. Sadly, it didn't kill, so the BRDM got the pleasure of receiving our one and only Tandem HEAT warhead, which did the job admirably.
Now running low on ammo, I went off to scavenge for rounds near Point 1 while Alex went looking round by the bend. I saw a helmet on the ridge followed by a muzzle flash and I died before I could shout a warning.
Cordonbleufor - A2 FTL
A2 was the group that Bodge's FT ran headlong into, assuming we killed you in the compound and not in the later engagement in the open. Things went pretty smooth, there was a tense moment when the rest of the squad managed to have some sort of explosive based whoopsie, but we were
cowering taking position in a building and
stick them back together could come to their aid.
At some point in the banzai charge out we lost Stoner, but overall casualties were light and we won.
Ivory Hunt - DC
We got the Dshkm, and made Bravo carry it into place, perks of command and all that. On the way over we had a fun little run in with a rouge hummer which turned up as we were in the open but we somehow made it out alive.
The convoy went down, and the tank turned up while we were engaged from behind. I tried to disassemble the tripod and turn it around, but it wouldn't let me put it back together again. I was too busy concetrating on this to notice the M1A2 sneaking up on me...
Mail Man - CO
This went really smoothly. The original plan was to drop Alpha and Bravo at the crash site to form a perimeter and then drop Charlie behind wherever the enemy seemed to be massing to flank and destroy them in the second wave.
As it happened, the transfer was complete before Charlie could even get off the ground, and I don't think we even lost a single person. Not sure what happened there.
Village Clearance - CO
After
having it easy commanding successfully on the last mission,
Fer made me I was offered the opportunity to CO this one as a
punishment for my luck reward. As such I was totally not terrified of succeeding in case I had to CO again. Not in the slightest, as my Medic will no doubt confirm...
Again, simple plan for this one, MMG hold the high ground and shoot things to bits, fire-teams sweep the village, MAT tags along on their own discretion to engage anything armoured. I'll try to co-ordinate this and not
too much.
But lo and behold, some how it worked! Bravo and Charlie had a bit of a mauling once we hit the petrol station, but the end screen told me we won! Could I actually be getting competent at this?
Red Snow SE - Bravo AT
We dropped into the middle of town for some confused city fighting . After a while, I found Spitnam and we headed out for the vehicle depot. I made it inside but got mowed down by a Heavy MG out front when curiosity got the better of me.
Bedtime - Some dude
I ran around a bit, threw a grenade, stole a FAL, hijacked the turret on the Jeep and the mission ended.
Vintage 01 - MMG Gunner
I was shot to pieces while charging in the name of Collective Farms.
Lichterfelde - Bravo AT
Lots of shooting and dying occured around the substation, but after that the stroll through the city was easy. I accidentally FF'ed stff while shooting from behind him, lost the rest of Bravo when they went for a jaunt into the city, fired my RPG randomly which pissed off a bunch of enemies and left in the the Helicopter with my legs missing.
