lol Stag " Freeman approached same crossroads, but took out the remaining sentries with a crowbar, "
I'll write my first(i think) debrief post for a mission. I just tend to forget the details: leaders, players,sides, casualties, map,mission name etc. But this one was memorable and stayed vivid in my head (maybe because i slept for 5 hours before the co-op hour) and also gave me palpitations (too much for a game, i need to control myself more ).
I will add some roleplay inserts for the immersion; bare with me : ). Its more like a story then a debrief.
Without Banners (Stagwine mission)
Mission : Ambush the convoy and steal the supply trucks.
The ambush part went flawlessly . We had some scouts that informed us of the composition of the convoy, so we knew exactly how to attack. After the ambush everyone boarded either the supply trucks or the technicals.
While on the way to the save house we lost radio signal with the other teams. Soon after i had to give up the steering wheel as i lost my baring. While getting close to the save house, fortunately radio signal also came back.
We needed defend the trucks while we wait for reinforcements. Inside the safe house camp there was a a BMP wreckage which gave me good cover from the NW so i announced my defending position to the leader: "Covering NW"
Within minutes hell broke loose and friendlies dying left and right. Some enemies i engaged from my position but the main fight was going on at the entrances(i think). It happened pretty fast. Latest order came from Variable, now the leader of the remaining force " Get in the trucks and move EST to the new safe house". No reinforcements will come.
I grabbed the first truck in sight and after a minute of back and forth with Variable, i floored the pedal, existing from the north of the camp. "The same direction the enemies came from" i was thinking in my head. Fortunately my now dead comrades gave a hell of a fight. All i saw was dead bodies and an exploded vehicle.
I took the first road to the East, but i soon realized this road was deviating farther and farther from where i was supposed to be going. I called Variable for some map readings. He shouted " east Freeman , east ! " . "well no road leads to east from my position" i said to myself. One or two more back and forth with Variable then i pulled on the wheel off road, to the east. I was going uphill, through the woods. Its east alright.
After couple of hundred meters of climbing in a truck, I finally got to dirt road. I also saw a landmark so i called Variable once more: " I see a landmark, its a castle, looks more like a ruin . Any idea where i am? " .
He managed to pinpoint my position before saying that he is being engaged.
I check the map and finally i know how to get to the new safe house. I guess i should have payed more attention in the briefing. I arrive at a first crossroads and i spot a bunker. I stop the truck to look in the distance if the bunker is occupied. Got lucky this time, it was empty. Two more crossroads passed and no enemies in sight. I guess getting side tracked at the beginning did help after all as no one was expecting me from this side.
So now i'm on the main road that leads me to the safe house. As i approach, i see some houses on the side so i decide to stop the truck, and do some recon ahead. I get one last call from Variable. With his last dying breath he says: " Don't rush it, take your time". My heart starts pumping like crazy. I can't control it. I need to finish this; my comrades need these supplies.
I soon spotted a technical parked on the right side, near a house 100-150m away. That couldn't be the only enemy i thought to myself. I barely made few steps further and i heard one guy patrolling meters away...
He was too close , I had to kill him. I drop him and quickly turn towards the technical to kill the gunner. I rapidly advance further. Another enemy pops from the woods, i try to aim at him but i can't steady the rifle, i'm too tired. I loose contact, so i retreat back , and covered behind a tree, i wait for him to pop up again. "I think he didn't spot me". Sure enough he appears again and i drop him. More enemies skyline on the hill and a firefight ensues. I mange to survive but my luck can't last for much longer. So i retreat to the back of the truck to check the map again. Its a straight line all the way to the save house. I hop in the car and floor it. Few shots i hear from the back but they are getting farther away. I see the safe house. I'm safe.
