Hi, folks - great game, yesterday - in particular, Alpha Green (Misha, mikka, and Viking), Marto, and Command: nice going!
Just a brief, rough re-cap:
1. I was in command of Alpha Green (AG). We formed up at the intersection west of our spawn point and then headed south. Zulu1, Sniper squad, came along with us. I had Viking on point, Misha next, myself, and then mikka in a column. At a certain point near the coast, we headed east, ran into MG squad, adjusted heading, and then hit the hillcrest overlooking the depot from the west, south of everyone. We observed enemy contacts both inside and outside of the depot perimeter, including two BMPs. After a short time, the enemy was alerted to our presence and two of them approached our position, while the rest outside the perimeter dropped to the ground, no shots fired. Relayed info to Command. We waited until the very last second before opening fire on both the soldiers approaching us and those at the depot. Viking reported that he had been looking through his binoculars when he heard gunfire open up to his left and to his right. Dropping the binos, he observed an enemy soldier drop dead not 10 feet in front of him. I think Misha or mikka hit one of the BMPs. Within a few seconds, all was quiet at the depot, save for the lone BMP on the east side of the perimeter. No casualties sustained in AG.
We observed Osku mercy kill the BMP and then re-grouped at the depot.
2. After AT resupply at the depot, AG headed north to the PL FUP and then took up a position west of the town and north of the road, covering the left flank of a proposed assault (Zulu1 was tasked away from our position and moved off). AG repositioned further east at the suggestion of our point-man and set up for the assault. Enemy positions were noted. The initial assault commenced and enemy movement was observed north of the town. Squad Alpha approached our position and proceeded to assault the town from the left flank, covered by AG. We also observed another squad approach the town from the south. Town cleared, we regrouped with everyone else in-town. With Marto's help, I resupplied with HEDP rounds.
3. For the third objective, AG was tasked with assaulting the harbor from the south. Maintaining the same formation as before, we headed south, were held up by what turned out to be a BMP carcass, at a certain point turned east, and ended up approaching the harbor from the south/southwest, all the while hearing engagements to our east/northeast. At this point we heard BMPs to our north and a gunboat was observed offshore. Approaching a hillcrest overlooking the harbor, either mikka or Misha dispatched one of the BMPs (I think, things are a little hazy for me at this point. . .). Someone from one of the other groups took out the last BMP. Overlooking the harbor, we observed no movement, several dead bodies. Upon receiving the order to clear the harbor, AG ran from the hill south of the harbor to the southern gate and began our clearing action. During bunker clearing, mikka received fire from outside the compound (the compound, itself, appeared to be clear, at that point - those of you who assaulted tha harbor, earlier, were _very_ effective with your fire). I received a report of movement to our south. We heard some shooting as AG received cover from the other squads. That encounter resulted in an accomplished mission and another great game with CiA! AG sustained no casualties during the mission.
Marto, thanks for the pics, I only managed one (posted in the O-Forums).
Let's hear from the rest of you!
