Clearing
First time leading on CiA Server and generally not my cup of tea when playing ArmA, but the role had to be taken so no complaints and let's do it. I tried to keep a safe and slow pace, trying to keep the team to a reasonably low risk (where possible) and exposure.
I'm aware i sometimes crossed open fields a bit unguarded or have not been properly in cover.
I should improve my way of communicating as sometimes i had some problems in finding the proper words/terms to broadcast the informations. I also lost track of some of the team compositions at certain moments as i think in one or two occasions i've seen people not belonging to our team following us.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the overall behavior of the partecipating players, most of times the teams took directions cover and terrain distribution without the need of telling or providing additional "management", and most of times i've seen people being exactly where i would otherwise wanted them to cover.
Things didn't go exactly as i was planning them mentally, but that's bound to happen as i usually tend to modify the plan / movement directly depending on field and situation.
Moving to the sniper OP revealed to be an overall reasonable decision (but i'm curios to hear feedback from the others about how things were performed and planned), originally i wanted only the sniper and another man as personal cover to maintain the sniper OP, and move the vehicles to another elevated zone to provide ranged fire from different directions, but in the end i decided to begin the engage all together from there, as i remember correctly we didn't have time to relocate the rest of vehicles due to being spotted.
Losing the vehicles was a low blow i was hoping to keep them providing superior fire cover for the infantry, but enemy AT had to be expected.
I should have maybe considered better how to position the vehicles and the order of which squad to drain fire and engage, to maintain the aggro on our vehicles low.
When venturing in town, at a certain point i decided the sniper team to regroup with us as i felt we were approaching areas not coverable by them. From there it was an hybrid of urban combat and hunt for the target, which took quite some time.
I think some people were getting bored but i can understand that (see slow pace above), ArmA teached me to take things cautiously (unless obviously it is a timed mission) or pay the consequences.
In the end, some problems in commanding AI or other things but mission accomplished!
