That wasn't my experience. For most of the mission we hung back. There was sporadic encounters, and sometimes I turned out and just fired my machine gun at suspected target for suppression, but I didn't even go through my second magazine.
I don't consider that action for the LAV either, only for the gunner. As a commander I had next to nothing to do. I would have preferred a bit more autonomy for the LAV, but for 90% of the mission the order was to hang back.
I am not saying I would have done it any other way, nor do I want to blame anyone for it. I am merely reporting how I perceived the mission. I definitely liked the bits of action, but I wish I had picked an infantry slot instead (especially after watching treendy's video) because as it was, I was pretty bored most of the time. Which was not the fault of the mission, nor the fault of anyone else, it's the problem that we are so scared all the time that vehicles will break that we don't use them.
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
