Thanks to everyone who joined and thanks to Spinoza for organizing this event. Added few screenshots.
A lot of players! 64 in total! This was one of the biggest events I had participated in.
CiA Squad started on the Eastern side of the Airfield near Krasnostav. We were preparing to defend the airfield from the attack that was coming from the south, didn't know what to expect, so we moved the vehicles behind the airfield to protect them from the attack in case there was a big wave of enemies.
Bad luck struck just at the beginning when our pilot (Stoops) didn't manage to take off safely due to the short run-up which ended in a fatal crash at the end of the runway. Also one of the soldiers who was confused and driving a truck almost crashed into Stoops plane when it was taking off even though there was a clear order to stay off the runway to allow the plane to take off.
After the sad tragedy on the Airfield we managed to defend the attack on the airfield and secure it only because the enemy attack consisted of only 2 squads and one enemy helicopter (which btw we took out thanks to Zinchux who was in the stationary AA, the chopper however did not exploded but it landed in the middle of the runway, we shot the pilots).
When we secured the Airfield we moved forward and secured Krasnostav thinking it might have been seized by the enemy but without a big surprise the town was empty (Didn't see or hear enemy while overlooking the town, I was the sniper in the hill).
Once we secured the town of Krasnostav we regroup with the other platoons (Folk, ARPS) we organized a convoy and started moving south from the town. We sent out recon squad to observe before we headed out.
We left a lot of vehicles behind in the Airfield (the most vital ones - BTR, repair and ambulance), the whole CiA platoon moved in one BMD3, not a good idea, but since we were at the end of the convoy then it didn't matter much.
Before we went to attack Berezino we stopped before Dubrovka, we saw a small enemy platoon ( 2x m2 hummers, few infantry guys) in the village and decided to go East before Dubrovka and skip it since it wasn't really our objective. We went through the woods and saw Berezino from the hill we split up for a short time (CiA wen West and Folk/ARPS went East), but we merged near Berezino. Not sure what happened but I saw we took few casualties, CiA were securing the West side of Berezino, infantry on foot and bmd3 behind.
Once we managed to secure Berezino and complete the objective we went South on the road that leads to Orlovets. We spotted a enemy fortifications just outside Berezino to the south on our way, but the command decided the leave it behind ( !!! ) and move forward to Orlovets in convoy since we were taking too much time.
This time whole CiA platoon in one single BMD3 was moving in front of the convoy and just outside Orlovets we got hit by 2 rockets, did not know where it came from. At first I thought it was an Ambush from Orlovets since we were moving up the hill the overview was bad also we were moving towards the sun.
And that's how it ended for the whole CiA platoon. Some said it was the AA that we left behind in the fortifications who destroyed us from behind, some said it was coming from Orlovets. Did see a enemy squad (2 AT guys) just in front of us when we got hit but they didn't look alerted.
Written from my perspective, I was the sniper at the beginning and the gunner in BMD3 at the end.
Big game, too bad it ended like that. Thanks again to everyone who participated and the organizers.
