Ok, debriefing time for Thursday, 5. December:
In and Out: The joy of urban sweeping... an enemy around every corner, heavy losses, the usual. I think there were some friendly fire incidents, since one or two guys said they'd been shot by other guys with active lasers, and I don't think the AI does that. Funny ending with our own patrol boat shooting one of the other boats to kingdom come.
A Man of Faith: Geez, I don't know what to do with this mission. In any case, I think Knights proposal of first clearing the near town was quite good, it gave us a base of operation with relative safety, and ensured little enemies coming from behind. I also think my idea of following the dry river bed wasn't bad, but we were overwhelmed and stayed too long in the same spot. Should have retreated at that point. As usual, when the team leader was shot, there is this period of "Who is the leader, it's not me, it's not meeee" (sung to the tune of Three Wise Men). This usually leads to Morbus Nullam Evolit (also known as the headless chicken syndrome) which, in this tight spot, means more casualties. Actually, I think Knight proposed falling back to the town, which I thought was a good idea (but then, I was dead), but went unheard, unfortunately...
Bomberman: Yay, finally made it. Outlawz, excellent mission, I have to say. The first part, clearing the base and the convoy, was more or less a given already, we almost always succeed in that, Then, again, clearing a town, which is always the tedious check all buildings and mark them. Lots of short but intense firefights... Don't think there was much to be done differently (and ultimatively, the mission succeeded, anyway). Chhers to Knight for leading his first team on the very first evening. Don't think anyone ever dared to do that.
