This Land
(TL Bravo)
My second time in helm of Bravo with this one. This time we attempted entirely different tactic.
Bravo was to set up additional ambush site further west of Alpha. During march we encountered one patrol but were able to avoid detection. Good spotting.
Our explosive specialist, Freeman, set up explosives near road bend and rest of team took overwatch. Soon my team spotted vehicle approaching. Consensus in team was that this is the HVT, and Freeman lit up the parcel. Scratch one HVT. At this point we heard Alpha being engaged, and my team received orders to set-up and approach next objective, vehicle yard, from the west.
During push we encountered multiple hostiles and got to hairy firefight at our set up point, including one BMP. However brave survivor from Alpha (Alwarren) managed to eliminate the threat. Situation at the buildings got hot, and we had to keep moving. We got to vehicle yard, and as we took positions to assault the compound I was killed.
However my lads managed to win the day and mission was complete.

Good fun run. Village was familiar to us from previous missions and due unforeseen radio issues, it took a while to establish contact with air. Good job for coordinating with air Phantom after we sustained casualties.

This had excellent balance, good unit placement, and there was good action and credible opposing force regardless of the route chosen.
We started our push in darkness and used flares to illuminate the path. Eventually in one firefight we lost our valiant TL, Variable, and I took over. Initial plan was to push south of main highway and see what we come up against. Action at bunker cost us more casualties, and I spotted vehicles and static MG nest in our planned route. We had no good weapons against them and we diverted to another route to north, then west to Old bridge. In the end it was only four of us left. Hellhammer, McGregor and Valhalian. Good teamwork, especially in the end and great pathfinding and marksmanship from HH.
We played hide and seek between buildings and got to couple of tough situations. In one of them I got wounded and had to crawl from open street to cover inside buildings until McG patched me up. Toughest nut to crack was to figure out how to cross Euphrates. Bridge head was guarded by static HMG, bunker with full squad and BRDM-2. We had no weapons against them so our choices were grim. We decided to take our chances in the river, swim under the bridge, and use bridge concrete pillars to shield us from the enemy. We dropped helmets, vests, heavy gear, and swam only with holstered pistols across the river. Wondrously we actually pulled it off, and escaped from Fallujah!
Simple mission with tons of fun. Very moody and in the end quite stressing 'escape from' style mission. Look forward for more from Evans.
