Thug's Life
Alpha Lead
At the first attempt we got spotted prematurely, which nullified the explosive placement and led to a bloody firefight that ended in our demise.
In the second attempt we positioned Bravo close to the bridge and Alpha in a vantage point, which was too far too my liking but provided unobstructed overwatch on the ambush site. Bravo placed explosive charges at the end of the bridge, hoping to trap the convoy by destroying the lead escort.
We were able to clearly identify the objective vehicles we had to snatch and the escorts as they rolled in. Bravo detonated the explosive, ignited the lead off-road and kept quiet while Alpha opened up with AK and RPG fire, and scored good hits. One of the drivers that was trapped on the bridge jumped to his death. The road was sawn with burning vehicles as the command was given to Bravo to move out of hiding and snatch the vehicles. We covered them as they moved in and saw them put several rival cartel fighters out of their miseries. Bravo captured the vehicles and started to move out to the hideout, leaving Alpha to move on foot to the vehicle stash.
Alpha had a lot of trouble on the way to the hideout. We reached the vehicles but soon after we were ambushed on the road and had to ditch one of the vehicles after replacing one of its wheels. I was shot dead during one of the firefights but gladly the rest managed to brake contact, reach a pier and steal boats.
In retrospect we should have avoided the roads, but overall it was a great experience. Good job everyone!
Valhalian or others, how was it from Bravo's point of view?
