I led this one, so I'll debrief it as I remember it better than the other missions
I didn't actually recognise it from the previous attempt when I was planning but once we started, it came back to me. I did take a rather long route around before I got Misha to snipe some of the towers to make it safer for us to approach but I think it worked out fairly well like that, as approaching from the South would have us coming in between two towers quite close to each other, as well as the road with vehicles patrolling.
Approaching from the East, we were able to thin out the enemy at the first two towers whilst Red team kept an eye on the road and took out one of the vehicles, without being too exposed. I'm not sure exactly when but unfortunately at some point we lost our medic, Valhallian. Then Alwarren, Misha and myself came under heavy fire from the outskirts when we went to check one of the towers, which took me by surprise as I only expected them to be close to the tower and unfortunately we lost Alwarren there and Misha and myself got injured. It was lucky that the enemy got scared and went prone, as otherwise they probably would have killed all three of us!
After getting patched up, everyone did a good job taking out the helos dropping reinforcements and then using the towers to take care of the remaining enemy and it was a nice surprise to find there were none left to engage us on the way to our extraction chopper. Just sorry I didn't manage to bring more of you home but you will be remembered :'(
