A very atmospherical mission. Unfortunately I crashed and had to start from the beginning, but it resulted in me having an MX with a scope ^^.
The downfall of this one was probably that the assault team was prematurely discovered, otherwise drawing fire from the hill might have worked. Looking forward to the next try.
As we were heading towards the sea approaching the base, so with it on our left, I spotted a camp on our right with several infantry which I called in but I think you said you had it covered from the hill. I'm wondering if the assault team got flanked from there after we started assaulting the base though, meaning we were taking fire from two directions.
It might be an idea to split the assault team in two parts next time, so that if the enemy has one part pinned down with fire, the other part are able to engage them and give the first part some breathing space to move, or each part just focuses on separate groups of enemies which will still stop them all firing on one position, which combined with the fire from the hill team should help. It depends on whether it's possible to find two suitable vantage points to provide both parts of the assault team with good overwatch of the base though.
Also, having an agreed way for the assault team leader to quickly communicate to the hill team where the assault team is taking fire from or where the biggest threat is, so that they can concentrate on that area, might be useful. So assuming the assault team is attacking from the same position as last time, i.e. opposite the hill team, "Sea, far" would indicate the part of the base nearest the sea and furthest from the assault position, "Centre, near" for the middle of the base and nearest the assault team and "inland, half-way", well you get my drift.
