Lost Squad
(shortest Helicopter ride ever)
I started out in a damaged helicopter, which I repaired via console. When I took off the carrier, the angle of flight made the HUD projection screen glare up so I tried to get rid of it. For some reason, though, my chopper wasn't gaining altitude. Might be that I was not taking care, whatever it was when I finally got the HUD folded up I saw water in front of me before turning into a quickly quenched fireball.

Teams avoided two patrols that were pretty close (one of them was an extra two-man recon team I added with my godly powers). It was a good call to put the mine on the road to the north, since there was a Stryker with a full load of troops coming that way. Unfortunately, the Stryker stopped short of the mind and unloaded their troops, then proceeded through the forest.
TBH, at this point I tried to direct it onto the mine. The behavior of the AI was illogical, the apc should have driven all the way through to the FOB. While I was busy trying to get the APC team to get back to safe mode, the teams at the FOB got wiped. Doh.
The reason you were detected was that one of the guys in the patrol you engaged got a shot off and the machine gunner in the bunker next to the main entrance noticed you. There is a good chance to avoid detection, since the "Detected By" trigger has a timeout.
Goddamn patrol boat got stuck in the shallow water. I think I will get rid of it and allow players to land on the beach opposite to the FOB.
Battle for Zaros
(shortest Commander duty ever)
After talking everyone through a radio check and getting reports of troop movement, I decided to get into my Hunter and drive to the north eastern barricade. I hadn't even started the engine when I was hit by a magic missile from the magic all-seeing fairy dust radar in the AI chopper.
Without Banners
(Ghillie-suited recon)
On the way to our overwatch point, the night was so dark and full of terrors that my quad bike refused to continue (well, okay, it might have something to do with that pesky little tree that ran in front of me and trashed the quad). Continuing on foot, Val and me made it to the overwatch point and started our work.
I really enjoyed that part most. I don't mind not firing a single shot, the darkness and the unknown made it a very tense couple of minutes. We managed to successfully identify convoys and relay the information to the ambush team.
The way back was lighted by a couple of burning wrecks on the road.
Once back at the gatehouse Bravo squad apparently decided to spontaneously combust, and the Takistani BTR-60 mobbed up the floor with us. Brutal.

The decision to land on the roof was... flawed I guess. For one thing, half the team missed it. One might argue that we got out of the plane too slow, but I was the last one to get out and I did land on the roof. But then, the scaffolding down from the roof glitched the fuck out of me so I had to be revived.
I also noticed that it apparently is not enough to say "Get to the RV point if you don't make it onto the roof" only five times, as there were still people asking "should we go to the RV point".
Kudos to Variable for killing the DJ. I like the sound effect

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
