Mission was great fun for me again. However there were some things which didn't go so well.
First there was a friendly fire incident during our halt at the first checkpoint. Can someone bring some light into this?
Second, the first civilian has been killed relatively early in the mission by the BMP. I have to admit though that I forgot to state clear Rules of Engagement during the briefing and making up for this during the running mission was a suboptimal solution because I had the feeling it was overheared and/or not completely passed to every member in the heat of the battle. On the other hand the briefing was pretty clear about civilian presence in the AO...
I think I tried to micromanage too much in the beginning of the mission (between CP1 and CP2) but as the mission progressed I managed to give more general orders to the squadleaders gum and Anguis.
While Marto was sticking more to an exclusive forward observer role in the beginning of the mission he acted more as a platoon sergeant towards the end of the mission, cross talking with gum and Anguis to get fire missions onto the enemy, assisting in the BMP maintenance etc.
Osku did a good job as medic and kept our backs clear from unpleasant surprises, hopefully the MT-LB shoot-em-up action during the end of the mission compensated for your relative boredom during the rest of the mission.
Unfortunately whole Anguis' squad got blown up while mounted in the BMP.
By and large everyone did a good job again, thanks for participating and special thanks to Marto for this nice mission.
Some impressions from the last third of the mission:
Gum's Antitank team setting up to engage enemy BTR at the crossroads:
Hit:
Command element destroying enemy equipment at the crossroads:
Marto will have some surprise screenshots tooÂ
