Indeed. And nothing spurs more development than encouragement, even if it's criticism...
Well, on to last nights games:
Needle in a Haystack
All in all, solid leading by Victor. The forest was unfortunately crawling with OPFOR, and as such, we had little chances there, but that was unforeseeable, since we also couldn't spot anything in that area from the top of the ridge... bad luck.
One remark, though, if we're in such a situation, the only thing we can do is retreat, preferably to somewhere with a lot of cover.
Also, when you drive down a road and suddenly a BRDM pops up in front of you, break hard, all get out and open fire... I was able to jump out and destroy the BRDM, but the cannon already ripped our Jeep apart.
Block Party
A hint for anyone who would like to lead once and not get lost: Defense missions are mostly easy to lead since they just involve staying in one location and shooting everything that moves.
This one was no different. We killed the tanks, and in the end, only 10 or so enemies were left (of course, we were already decimated at that point). That damn APC flanked us good.
Also, I think we should make it a rule that medics don't take mission-critical weapons, like AT launchers. If armor pops up at the time the medic is healing someone, it can be very problematic, to say the least.
Air Patrol
Solid leading by freeman. There wasn't much that could have been done once the tank spotted us. If there's nothing between you and an angry tank's guns, you're dead meat, and this was no exception. The AT shot was just a little bit too high, and that was our undoing...
The only thing that we could have done different would have been to go to the FOB and stock up on AT munitions and weapons. But yeah, it's easier to think of that after the mission. Well, next try, hehe
Overall, good games, although we didn't make any mission to the end... oh well
