Lost Squad
Straight forward run this time, after little time Variable made contact with the lost squad and helped Alwarren and me to get to their location. Luckily Varanon wrote in side chat that they were on SR chanel 1(our chanel) as I had ordered Alwarren and Variable to switch to chanel two (their chanel), might have been a rather long run otherwise xD.
Variable marked the position of the lost squad and we were able to get to their precise position. the lost squad fired a flare when I was closing in and since the landing zone was safe for the moment and Variable was already on station to cover and Alwarren also almost on station for CAS I went in immedeatly.
I only found the "Timed Flare" option on the chopper in this mission and used it hoping it would prevent taking fire from AA rockets.
On the ground I was able to watch Variables and Alwarrens fireworks while the lost squad was bording.
When everyone was in I departed and after clearing the area called Alwarren and Variable to do the same.
our landing when smooth and we waited for Orel 2 and 3 to arrive. Alwarren unfortunately hit a Radiotower with his tailrotor, started to spin and his chopper crashed into the same tower. but after taking some pictures of the wreck we were able to revive him. Sorry that I thought you were an AI xD you just started crawling towards me when I ordered you to do so and I didn't hear you before.
Wood Run
After the radios were sorted out with the help of a magically appearing radio crate and the vehicles where assigned, we were ready to go. Even though we already had a M136 gunner I had my light rifleman take one extra M136 from the HMMV, can't hurt to have one ready in each vehicle.
Alfa lead, we followed and Charlie brought up the rear. After about one uneventful KM Alfa stopped and started engaging enemys, not knowing the situation I had the drivers follow me up a hill on the right side of the road to go and support/ investigate and also cover the vehicles from possible further attacks, a call on the LR from Charlie squad told me that next time I might want to announce that kind of move.
From the hill we were able to engage another enemy further down the road which Alfa was not seeing yet.
Alfa let us know that they had pushed back the attack and we boarded again and the Convoi was on the road again.
Just a few hundred meters further Alfa vehicle was hit by an explosion and Variable started engaging enemys. Alfa was disembarked and in contact, we moved a bit closer and all but gunners also disembarked and fought back.
After the attack Alfa repaired their vehicle and we were back on the road, Charlie leading now.
few moments later one of charlies vehicles was hit and destroyed by an RPG. The attack was quickly repelled and charly had to cram into one vehicle.
We started moving again and only moments later my teams rear vehicle was hit by another RPG. Variable went to rub the shooter into the ground with his MK 19 and I disembarked to check the situation and helped one of my guys when it looked clear, I was just about to call for him when I saw Evans taking care of the other, good thinking there.
We crammed into our now only vehicle and went on.
30 seconds later, next attack and we were saved by a tree that turned an otherwise deadly RPG into a blown tire, we disembarked all but variable and I almost ran into his MK19 fire.
xD always think before moving xD
When Variable had no more target Evans and me went checking over the small hill but found nothing.
After our vehicle was repaired we were ordered to take the front.
15 seconds lader over the nex hill and we see a target on the road trying to get his rpg 26 ready, unforynately for him Variable was quicker.
we went over that hill and immedeatly hat a new target on the road with an RPG 7, the guy fired and we had the rocket coming for us. I just heard the report of the MK19 when the rocket hit disabling our vehicle and severely injuring all of us. at least we knew that sucker was blown to pieces thanks to Variables quick shooting.
We crawled to the cower of a small wall and waited for help.
after we were treated and had a small firefight over some distance, for the first time seeing more than two enemys in the same place it was decided we would end the mission due to the lack of vehicles.
That was the moment when I did something really stupid: since the SLAM mine we had spotted was so small I though it would also have a rather small blast radius, maybe like a grenade and I though I would just be save from that.
Hitting that thing with my assault rifle quickly proved me wrong by severely injuring Variable and me.
What I though was weird was that we saw Alfa (?) stopping at a dead body to take RPG's from him.
I din't really understand that since there were two (2) M136 in each HMMV which means for three teams we had 10 M136 when we started our route and never even had a situation where we needed one.
Sar-E Sang Interception
I hadjust figured out how to make one AI do wat I wanted him to do, get into the vehicle and not run behind the hescos behind the vehicle (i had ordered him in) when i noticed treendy and dropped and had another ai to order in. that AI got in as a driver, yeay ordered him out, got into that vehicle, treendy is back. I got out, ordered him in as driver jumped in back and of we were following the other vehicle planing to rig the coms tower for the case that disabling the coms station in the town would not be doable. we had jsut left the base when the mission ended.
I decided not to tacke the little bird as noone wanted to fly and flying it myself would keep me too buisy to effectively command or I might crash while thinking about what might be happening at some other place trying to come up with new orders.
