Good games, thanks for hosting the event and inviting us.
Movements
The squad moved south to the base of the peninusla by car, disembarking to patrol west along the coast line and then northwards. There the squad maneuvered to an OP overlooking the railroad station. After positioning a sniper and AT gunner to take out the priority targets, an AA gun and technical, the squad moved in to place dems on the BM-21 MRL's on the railroad cars.
After destroying the targets a withdrawal was conducted to the north east. Reaction forces were in pursuit, but the squad broke contact by heading east and then moved north before moving west towards the next objective. While moving south again to occupy an intended OP the squad bumped into the enemy and was subsequently destroyed due to lack of sufficient firepower.
Lessons identified
The Special Jaeger squad configuration needs to be adapted for another attempt. The nature of the mission turned out to be less of a sneaky raid and involved conventional infantry action. The weaponry on hand within the squad proved insufficient as the enemy had an advantage in firepower as well as superior numbers.
Retaining suppressed weapons for the majority of the unit proved a bad call. A better configuration of the squad would have been to select two squad support weapons (PKM) and assorted assault rifles, retaining just a single suppressed weapon for sentry elimination. A higher number of NLAW missiles would have suited the follow on objective of taking on the main Russian troop concentration.
