Wonderful post Stagwine! I loved reading it. I am always concerned for Zeus to get bored in non-clean-slate missions, and I am glad you enjoyed that role.
Plant Your Fields
My voiced disappointment in this mission was because initially, I felt that I don't need to micromanage the ATGM attack from the military base and the results proved me wrong. Let me illustrate how I think it should get executed:
1. All teams clear the military base from the north (as was done).
2. While the command team and the AT team are holding back, AA moves southwards slowly and spots the SPAAG.
3. Once found, AA team relays the position of the SPAAG to the AT team in terms of bearing and range.
4. AA team pulls back.
5. AT team sends ONE GUY forward to take the shot. All the other units from both teams are safely BACK.
6. AT guy attempts a launch and assess the hit.
7. In case of a miss, AT guy repositions to try another angle (it's possible to hit it from the hill, we've done that twice), until the target is destroyed. Pulling back to rearm in case missiles are running out.
8. Target destroyed, all teams pull the fuck back to the north. No casualties.
What did happen was a cluster-fuck of units that contributed nothing to the ATGM launch, but sat there regardless, making themselves a target to the return fire from the town.
I thought that it's trivial, but I'll be more clear next time.
