Alpha's hike to the objective was not uneventful and we had the chance to clear the dam facility from some enemies that held up there. I decided to attack the town before the arrival of Bravo and Charlie. That was a tactically stupid but I wanted to keep the pace of the mission and keep the guys occupied, we were getting fat up on that hill... Guys at alpha, you did a great job all around, the communication within the team was good and I liked to see how you work together even when not ordered what to do. We got lucky with that ifrit that engaged us in the town! I missed two scavenged RPG shots - a lesson to remember - when you lean to the side the rocket will travel more to the side, as physics dictate. just draw a line from the crosshair to the ground and the missile will travel along that line.
Nice mission, good to see some artillery & infantry coordination! Don't know about the lenght since i joined on a later phase, it still lasted about 1 hour for me. I liked the pace and how it was managed, there was always something to do during the mission so it kept being interesting and fun.
The regroup with all teams was done well, it was cool to hear Valhalian's APC approaching from the distant.
The counter attack was hellish! I have no idea how those tanks managed to sneak into the town! The street battle we had with them was awesome, I was sure we are doomed! And then Alpha managed to disable one tank and Bravo the second. I ran to the gunner position of the disabled tank while being targeted by an Ifrit GMG. A house blocked the tank's turret LOS to the Ifrit. It took me some time to realize that I can simply blow away the house to take the shot on the Ifrit. Too bad we didn't get the chance to investigate that hill to the south west, oh well, next time (kidding).
How was the mission to the Bravo guys on Alwarren's team?
I fell asleep on the keyboard later on... but: Good games!
P.S I wish to remind everybody that this is not a mission review thread. It's ok to some extent to criticize the missions here, but it is mostly intended to share our battle stories and improve our tactics and communications during the games. If you have feedback please bring it to the author by finding the mission on the workshop, BIF, Armaholic or here on the CiA forums. If you do, it will be great if you will add a link to your review so all could add their take as well.
