I have no idea what can we do against so much infantry while we are only 4 dudes. Maybe just hunker down and let them assault our positions and trigger Val's AP mines... either way, I'm stepping down from Charlie's command, I've had my share of attempts...
Two more failures. I do think that Variable's strategy will work out. The first time I was the last one left of the team because I was at the blocking position in the south, so I was under time pressure to get back to the team since they were bleeding out. Unfortunately, there was too much infantry on site, I managed to shoot a couple but eventually they got me.
The second time the missile hit the truck, and Delta eventually died.

Not our best attempt. A squad-sized team of CSAT managed to sneak up on us while we were looking for the Strider. Given the fact that they came from the expected direction of enemy contact, the conclusion is we were tunnelvisioned on finding that MRAP.
In the initial assault of those guys four of our team died, including the team leader.
Still love this mission, even though it routinely murders us.
The guys that snuck up on us, well, that was the best leason we can get about covering sectors- it's everybody's responsibility to set up overwatch.
Just one clarification - If an enemy spots you, you can fire on it, without receiving authorization to open fire. I'm not sure but while spectating I heard Alwarren telling Den to not fire although he got spotted?

I flew the darter and Greyhawk and it was great. The sniper team lased armored targets for us and I dropped GBUs on them. I like laser designating operations, it's one of the pinnacles coop gameplay.
The beginning was rather slow. Plenty of time to enjoy the sunrise, which, I have to say, was a spectacular view from the hillside (I am saying this without irony, I *really* enjoyed that sight). Assaulting the base was fun, too bad we weren't in a position to see the fireworks of the UAV's attack on the tank column.
Later on the bug attacked me as well, and that lead to Valhalian's death, and mine.

This mission managed to stay immersive and entertaining while still challenging. We had to carefully plan our approach on the target to avoid the roads because of multiple Ifrit patrols on them, took out an isolated two-men patrol, and quickly took down an AA nest, called in a UAV which dropped a GBU on the radar target and destroyed it. The LZ was swarming with enemies and the extraction was hot. The Ghosthawk took multiple hits but with the aid of its door gunners we managed to extract safely. Great mission, and good job to Sandbox, Llauma and Alwarren for a flawless execution.
Very nice mission, I liked the mood and general feel of thread from the patrols and MRAPS. Execution was good, I think, no losses except for the glitching at the end. BTC review glued downed units to the floor, no chance to get up anymore or move, so in essence we had to have me and one AI killed in order to complete the mission (which didn't end either).
Okay, long post... hope I didn't bore anyone
Highlight - Sandbox and Llauma taking out enemy infantry approaching our position while Alwarren and I was busy in lasing the radar and piloting the UAV.
The fewer men, the greater share of honor
