About the latter, it might be a good idea to have the BMP and infantry sweep the town before taking out the radar, making sure that the back is clear. After the radar is destroyed, all attention is focused the other way.
Definitely. It was stupid of me not to sweep the town.

I think that went very well, and was a rare case where I actually enjoyed leading the mission Forest fights against the AI are always a bitch. Too bad we lost Maverick at the end with no AI left to join. If this has taught me one thing, it's that small units of four men (aka fire teams) are the most manageable asset, and are very effective when left to perform individual tasks.
The only thing that I would have to criticize was that sometimes I had to wait long for a reply. I appreciate that a team under fire will have its difficulties replying, a short "Hold on" would be sufficient in that case.
Agreed, that was a very enjoyable mission and well lead on this one.
I also agree about the fire team size. This works of course also with larger groups that are chopped up, but I think it's definitely best to make missions with smaller teams, breaking the big teams up if needed.
