Battle of Zaros
(Tank gunner)
Brilliant mission, good mix of action and suspense. I was with Evans in commander and an AI driver (they suck). We were towards the South east, and made contact last out of all the tanks. Evans spotted an infantry squad to the road towards the south and I engaged at about 600 metres with my machine gun, I didn't think it would be very effective but it was actually pretty good. Evans ordered me to stop firing just after I started because one of the other tanks exploded, giving us the impression we may have machine gunned friendlies. This wasn't the case and I preceded to engage once more. I killed maybe 6 CSAT, then a Marnid came from the same road which I dispatched with a shell through the front and one more for good measure.
After this engagement, the other two tanks had been taken out, and we were ordered to move to the AAA team to revive them. Because we were only a 2 man crew, Evans had some difficulty directing the driver as we were just in front of a ditch. He eventually took over and we proceeded to move west up the hill. As we began moving some one who had died previously spawned in as the crewman (was it Variable? I can't remember). We had little chance to make use of this, as I spotted a transport helo and we engaged. I hit it with an AP shell, but the new member of our tank was also hosing it with machine gun fire so I don't know who killed it. Alas, because of engaging the helo I missed a threat and we were detracked by I think a rocket launcher. Another marnid from the same direction as the previous one engaged us, and I killed it as it disabled our tank. I was injured as the tank exploded, but my comrades saved me.
We made our way to the AAA position and scavenged what we could as the team was dead. Someone grabbed a PCML and I got a backpack of explosives. We were ordered into the town by whoever had command at that point, and quickly moved. It rapidly became apparent that all but the South eastern blockade were dead, so I recommended reinforcing them and Evans agreed. We made our way there and after restocking selected a nearby building to hold. I was forced to take alternative cover and was then killed. Good game overall, enjoyed it. Good squad leader/tank commander as well, and a good mission!!

This mission went much worse for me. I was in Mishas squad, and after a bit of driving in pitch black we arrived at the ambush sight. It wasn't ideal but it would do. We had good sight lines etc. We were organized quickly and effectively, and my squad was essentially the blocking force, to prevent and trucks getting through. Me and Mjonir were ordered onto the southern side of the road as the last line of defence.
This would've gone much better had the BRDM hit the AT mine, but such is life. As it came screaming towards us we opened up on the convo, and the BRDM and truck sped through. I turned to engage and was swiftly dispatched by the technical that was driving down the road. Not a good day to be me. Nevertheless a good mission and an enjoyable end to my night!
