Great read, as usual, Stag
I think it was pretty much a run of bad luck. Bravo team got hit pretty hard by the GAZ, and then just south of the vehicle park we took too long and got this one group of Russians directly inbetween us. I think I shot Manuel just because he was surrounded by Russians and it was next to impossible in the snow storm to tell him apart from them. At that point IIRC Alpha team was either at full strength or lost one man, and Bravo was down to two because I had sent them ahead to the edge of the forest were they got hit by the large group of infantry and the Shilka.
It's too bad there is no AAR function in Arma 3, like there is in VBS.Would make it possible to watch the mission again and see what went wrong.

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
