Missing in Action
Lost Squad, Javelin Gunner
I lost my debriefing post so I'll keep it short:
Crash landed on a minefield > minor casualties > BTR spotted > Javelin launch > Boom > Take cover in the bunker > Fend off enemy infantry > CAS arrived > Strela launch detected > CAS evades > suppress Strela gunner > Snipe Strela gunner > CAS is shot down by MG fire > enemy MG fire team killed > Transport bird arrives > Half the team is extracted > Remaining squad fights off another wave of enemies > squad remnants rescued
One important note. When we must keep some of the guys behind due to lack of sufficient seats in the extraction vehicle, it's better to keep behind the essential roles, such as AT and medic, and extract the non-essential ones on the first round. The guys that are left behind should better be in a fighting condition to survive until the extraction bird returns.
Crash Site Red
Alpha Team Leader
The mission was completed but we could have done better. First, I had a miscommunication with Viper Red and should have confirmed they have received my order to cancel the initial plan. I should have also deleted the lines that didn't fit the new plan, which was to move as one element into the swamp.
The teams perormed well but Viper Black took casualties on the last approach to the crashed UAV. That was a result of our screening positions too far from them. I realized that when we came to assist, the NATO MG gunner who killed them was not more than 20 meters away. Had we been closer together, we could have better protect them while they were extracting the data and setting the UAV to explode. The swamp and the tall bushes called for a shorter distance between the team.
Burning Sand
Alpha Team Leader
That was a great mission, and everybody performed well. The highlight for me was to plant explosives on the first Shilka and blowing it up.
I moved too fast at times, forgetting the first yell I received from Llauma on coop nights "don't sprint when you are the leader! Your team won't be able to catch up". That meant my guys were sometimes lost and we had to stop and regroup. Just to clarify, sometimes I'm pushing my team to keep the momentum, if I stretch it too far, please give me another yell.
Convoy Abduction
Alpha Team Leader
Another great mission that completed successfully. After adjusting our anti-material sniper position, setting explosive on the road, and positioning the AT team on oversight, and the snatch team in cover, we were all ready for the convoy. The convoy was stretched far, but we stuck to the plan and destroyed the lead scout vehicle with the explosive. The AT team opened fire on the escorts and the snatch team moved to the vehicle carrying the HVT. The poor bastard followed our orders and we moved to the extrcaction LZ. I set it too close and one of the escorts managed to open fire on the Huron. We returned fire in attempt to suppress it, put up a smoke screen and followed the HVT into the chopper. Mission complete.
On a more personal note, yesterday was my 10 year CiA membership anniversary. Thanks for everybody at the past and at the present for the great time.
