Rescue
(David Armstrong)
Black bear did a good job killing the tank. This should have been the opportunity for us to advance further in this mission.
Unfortuately, the team that stormed the town had next to now cover from the machine gun team, and the BRDM made mincemeat of us.
Too bad, it had a good start.
Ambush the Convoy
(Ops lead)
Somehow, this mission went south really far. After we've set up, the damn Humvee saw us and opened up, which resulted in Bravo casualties, and a general slew of reinforcements coming in from Rogain. Sadly, that was something I didn't really consider, namely that Rogain was very close oand reinforcements would be on top of us very soon. Basically, they had us killed before the convoy even arrived...
Wild Waves
(grunt in Alpha)
We were quickly overwhelmed and taken down. Too many enemies in too close vicinity.
What could have helped would have been the grenade launcher on the boat. Unfortunately, Misha decided to join the boat crew to the ground crew, and if I may say so, "because I am too lazy for proper communication" isn't a good reason. Result: All dead. It's true the boat would not have been able to see much from the water because of the trees, but at least it could have made it rain 40mm grenades.
Ace in the Sleeve
(Spotter)
Alwarren as leader of the sniper team and me set up shop on a hill overlooking the combat area, providing intel and fire support. Unfortunately, I was pretty useless in terms of firepower, because 800 m shots with a 5.56 are rarely lethal. So I limited myself to measuring distances for Alwarren. Sniping in ACE is a challenge, but he was able to dispatch quite some bad guys (especially those pesky static machine gun).
At one point, the ground team was pretty much decimated, and since we had a lead on the stolen vehicle (follow the oil stains), Alwarren and me took after it. After searching the next town, we were able to pick up the trail again, which lead us into the mountain pass north of the town, were we were ambushed, but were able to kill our attackers. What followed was a high speed ride home through basically darkness but luckily smooth terrain. Mission accomplished, but under heavy losses. A moment of silence for Alpha.
