After action report for Stagwine's mission on Thirsk yesterday - apologies, I do not have the name in mind.
Start â it might be better to have people select their loadout before sleep is âforcedâ a minute into the game⦠only to be woken up by the shelling.
Â
Bravo raced to Point X-Ray, rejoining Alpha which was already on site. We only sustained one injury while crossing the runway. Defending Point X-Ray was successfully done with swift engagement of armored targets across the inlet using Variableâs Javelin and short-range infantry engagement thanks to Etzuâs suppression and the vigilance of the rest of Bravo. After everything piped down, we cleared out the remaining stragglers who were on the beach from a distance.
We used the short time to regroup and resupply with three people from Bravo gathering some ammo back at the hangars. They came back with a Humvee, which proved instrumental later on.
Â
We then had to reposition to Point Yankee to defend against yet again another seaborne assault. Infantry only this time, however we had far less cover this time. Despite our best efforts, we were surprised by a flanking squad north. Bravo very quickly repositioned to face the threat and pursued the remaining elements back into the forest, down to the beach where they had landed. This concluded the assault on Point Yankee â I commend the entirety of my squad for the efficiency with which we dispatched targets from being flanked all the way to forest combat.
Â
After having regrouped and enjoyed the Russian-made light show, we embarked in trucks to rejoin the Combat Logistics Unit.
One missed turn afterwards, we found the phantom location. We made good use of the ambulance, lacking a medic in the unit, then proceeded to establish a perimeter.
All points of interests were covered with good form from Bravo, from Tactical Bacon to mortars. Good initiative on Outlawz to notify that the AI can be used for fire support and taking on this responsibility once the AI was taken by Snake in JIP.
We set up defensive positions for a series of counterattacks from the East and the North. Excellent use of mines and AT weapons led to a successful defense against armor. We were however flanked from the North West twice; both times I had to take 2-3 men to repel incoming fireteams as there was no coverage of this area. Also, Outlawz was alone at the mortars, which I hadnât realized; when he came under fire, we swiftly moved to assist, but let this be a reminder to all team leaders that whatever the task you assign to a soldier, he cannot be alone.
Finally, at the very end, a couple of nasty friendly fire incidents â one was my fault as I led my fireteam into the area of effect of incoming friendly artillery, and one I just heard on the radio.
Â
Points of improvement:
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Team leaders cannot have soldiers performing tasks alone
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Squad leaders need to be aware of the perimeter defense and potential holes in the perimeter
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â When repelling a counter-attack and pursuing stragglers, communicate clearly your advance and repeat on the radio to check targets as friendlies are advancing downrange
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Pay attention to the radio commands and always acknowledge orders
Â
Summary: exemplary performance from Bravo team (1 casualty in the final attack).
Stagwineâs mission is one of the finest I have experienced and have managed to put the pressure on both teams without resorting to the usual onslaught of a full division.
