A
two member session again. We repeaded the mission of 030507,
several times, with different strategies, again without success. We tried a
direct southern approach (after i lost concentration and got lost in the wrong
forest), and crossed over the road to the forest on the south,
then flanked the road to the scud camp on the east. We agreed that 3 satchel
charges were enough for mission success, though 6 didn’t show up as success in
past attempts. Worked out a tactic to avoid getting hit by the strafing chopper
in the open, and this gave the bomber a little leeway, only to be taken out by
the 4/5 special forces troops which come quickly into the foray. Eagle
picked out a nice mission for up to 6 players, and Fish, using ' shoot (see
movie)' was tasked with commanding the AI's using shoot, while Eagle took
the lead, The mission gives a full range of Anti tank and infantry weapons. M16,
M16+M203 grenade launcher, Steyr Aug, HK, M21, M60, G36, MM1, in addition to the
default M1A4. Three types of Anti tank, LAW, Carl Gustov, and AA launcher
are available. All must be dished out at briefing by the team leader. Very
useful if you want to try out these weapons. Drop
zone was pretty hot, and required immediate cover after parachuting in. NW, and
W seemed to be the high threat zones, but this is dynamic, and different each
time the mission is played. We choose to avoid Chapoi, as it was nothing
but trouble, and did not help in achieving our objectives, to eliminate the
BMP's at the camp. Our medic became a casualty on route from a to b, from enemy
fire. After pushing south east to b, we became a bid disorientated, and
had to hold up to re-establish our position. We also encountered a BMP on the
way, and used a single Law shoulder mounted rocket shot to eliminate it as a threat. We moved on in danger
mode north east towards the camp, and when in position neutralized the guards,
and enter the camp. One of our AI's alerted us to an encroaching T72 threat, and
we scoured the horizon with binoculars to sight it. "T72, 040, moving south
east." "Got a shot". "One hit". Four missiles later
only slight damage to the tank, we decided to lay our charges, and blow the
BMPs, and egress back south west. We stood back in cover, and blew the charges,
success. The T72 had taken out our remaining AI's with shells and cannon fire.
Finally as we were about to depart, Fish was killed from a shell from the T72.
We achieved our primary target, but did not make it to the extraction point,
which was a boat waiting at sea to land and pick us up. Worth trying
again.
