With over 46 comrades already on the server for the first mission, we began with new adversarial, Raidolo. This reverse-Cholo was supposed to see an extended firefight between pistol-waving cops in balaclavas and SMG-toting freedom fighters. However, in the event the cops were horribly efficient, managing to breach and clear the building in 5 minutes (or so it seemed). Something a little different from our usual fare, it served as a quick warm up before the serious business of the second mission, Pancho SE. Now upgraded to SE version, 49 of us returned to Panochori Bay for another maritime assault under the command of comrade CO Tigershark. The initial landing force was comprised of Alpha and Bravo, both squads supported by 2 fully-crewed IFVs, plus two MMG attachments. Amazingly, the IFVs survived for most (all?) of the mission, but Bravo's crunchies suffered horrible casualties moments after leaving the beach. Thankfully, Charlie squad appeared to reinforce us mid-mission, and eventually Panochori was cleared by the platoon (including dismounted IFV crews). It only remains to point out that, once again, comrade CO Tigershark managed to get himself killed - albeit towards the end of the mission, this time!
Still rocking 46 comrades, and having tasted victory, the brigade turned its attention to comrade Wolfenswan's classic, 310 to Kavala, a mission which has shot many, many holes in us before (with a SPAAG). Not this time. Under the glorious leadership of comrade CO Satire, Alpha, Bravo and an independent Charlie 1, plus MMG and MAT attachments, cleared the ambush site and then lay in wait for the enemy convoy. Naturally, nothing (at all) went to plan vis-a-vis the ambush itself, the lead vehicle exploding before even entering the designated killzone. However, our glorious brigade adapted and overcame, albeit suffering horrendous casualties in the process. Then we extracted northwards to freedom, having bested this mission for the first time!
Actually, I think a lot of comrades were exhausted by this point, and went away to drink beer / sleep. However, a squad-sized band of hardened types remained. And formed a police death squad. In the début of Night Force, a squad of cops in balaclavas under the command of comrade CO [REDACTED] entered a resort in the Neri Beach area and killed many members of the Junta-aligned security forces. The vicious house-to-house fighting portion lasted over 45 minutes, with several cops' kill counts making it into double figures. Only four members of Night Force ([REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]) successfully escaped. To drink beer in a cop bar. And hang up this photograph, which is totally not incriminating:
As ever, please post your thoughts, feedback, screenshots and video here - comrade YouTube Hero SuperU's FA doesn't just produce our video idents, but provides leadership and guidance to propaganda artists. We also have a new YouTube channel that he manages so if you have any content you think should feature then let him know and he will sort you out, for more info check out this thread!; more guidance on video editing for Folk ARPS is provided by comrade Ferrard Carson. Posts in the AAR threads really help us (the hosts and mission makers), both with understanding how we can improve the experiences, and showing potential comrades what our sessions are like.
