Defense in Depth
DEFENDFOR Saboteur
Daf had a convoluted plan to funnel our enemies through a mixture of deception, magic, and piles of explosives. He was just discussing the finer points of satchel-charge placement theory when BLUFOR executed a high-speed/low-drag nosedive into the castle and died horribly. Ratio of planning to actual engagement time - about 30:1
Black Folk Down
Alpha 2 AAR
We advanced to the Warlord's compound (consisting of a rusted barn and a construction site -swanky!) whilst taking contact from all side. Boberro the bullet magnet was awarded 27 Purple Hearts by mission end, but somehow failed to die. Wolf and dancemoox proved that taking the high road isn't always the best option, especially when there are HMGs on the far side of the map. The Warlord apparently died of boredom and Dabbo led us back to safety.
Radiology
OPFOR Alpha 2 dude
There was a plan involving smoke and high-speed evasive driving, but then daf spotted the enemy and they spotted him, and it all went to hell. In the end, OPFOR only succeeded in wounding BLUFOR's pride through daf and Satire's dying jibes.
Hamlet Hunt
Alpha 2 M14 dude
I had an M14! and an M1911! And I wasn't going to get to use either because I was to gun the bullet-magnet Humvee istead! Hooray!
Thanks to Dabbo for putting up with my endless "forward a bit, back a bit, a bit more, oh wait I've been shot" routine. If nothing else I demonstrated my ability to fall out of a moving vehicle on the safe side, which is something that can't be taught.
Eventiually we started clearing on foot. It was a bit slapdash - I was finding enemies in buildings we'd leapfrogged past when Croc did his best Admiral Ackbar impression and Alpha 1, daf and awaitz were launched high into the air by the fully-operational Death Tractor. Thankfully the rest of Alpha 2 were close enough to marvel in the majesty of the explosion without being hurt. Suppressing giggles, we joined back up with SuperU and headed home.
HOSTages
DEADFOR
Yep.
Random Engagements
BLUFOR, Friendly-Fire Division :\
Gaius, I'm really sorry! I was sure the top of the helmet I saw poking out of the top-floor wind ow was OPFOR, and seeing as he was standing by the stairwell I assumed he was the guy who'd just wiped out the rest of Alpha 1. I think as soon as I fired I knew, and it was with tears in my eyes that I swept that house, executing one OPFOR before exchanging jibes with the dying Dabbo. An upsetting end to a good evening.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in the corner over there, kicking myself.
