FHQ King in Yellow
(Sniper)
Fun mission! This time I formed a sniper duo with McGregor as my trusty spotter. After solving a minor pathfinding issue we set up our observation post overlooking the objective. Dawn, fog, but still good enough visibility for some long range customer service. Our mission was to assist with eliminating a drug kingpin, so called 'King in Yellow' in the nearby village.
McGregor located several threats, including multiple technical trucks and several infantry contacts. We were unable to locate our target. I assumed he would be inside the villa.
Two infantry teams, Sabre-1 and Sabre-2 were approaching objective and soon reported readiness to assault the villa. We opened up, eliminated technical truck gunner, and started to reap the harvest. McGregor spotted targets and guided fire, I pulled trigger. Fun and effective.
Soon we were informed by Saber-1 of mission completion. We covered infantry teams extraction as much as we could, and eventually extracted with a quad bike to separate safe house.
If there is time at set up, a good practice in any sniper-spotter mission is to make a rudimentary 'target sheet' , if you have time. Spot few distinct landmarks around the target area, declare them to your team, and measure distance. Later it is much easier to guide fire. 'Contact, WATER TOWER, running east'. 'Truck, 200m south of VILLA, on the road'.
