Hey everyone !
Last night was my third time playing with the glorious comrades of Folk ARPS, and it was intense fun !
Budget Issues
I was Alpha-1-6 or something like that, just your basic Fireman. I had a crappy Holo, and no CBA so the flares sucked and all I could see was pitch black. I got the honor of noticing the first Tangos down the hill under a streetlamp North-West of our hill. Not a smart move on their part, as two fireteams quickly opened fire on them. I think we got some. I personally didn't. At some point I transfered to the west because it was under heavy fire, shot at some guy on the hillside from a bunker, but I died. 40 seconds exactly after I died, the evacuation order for Bravo was given and shortly after, Alpha got away, leaving my body to be desecrated by the blasted fascists.
Hornet's Nest
That mission was the most fun, I was Alpha-1-5 (AT) under Comrade Washington, we entered the village from the South-West, following the road with a Marid right behind us.
We are so nice looking !
Glorious tactical advance !
Ditto !
At some point a wall was interfering and I quickly proposed a short-range rocket-based solution to my FTL who, and I quote 'appreciated the enthusiasm'. A second later, the radio ringed a warning, and comrade
Madrak-the-red cleared a path for us, after someone smoked the area to cover our advance.
I was right behind the pointman, a recognized and hierarchically favored party member when we encountered someone from the squad who had preceded us by taking the long way'round. Comrade pointman quickly taught him some manners by putting 3 x 6.5mm rounds in his chest & then resuscitating him, thus showing that the party is always fair, even when it's tough.
Further down the road our noble and brave FTL was downed in a house and I had the honor to rescue him, eventhough his immobilized body was preventing me from entering the room (thanks Arma Engine !). I ended up emptying a full mag in the FIA scum. No-one downs my FTL.
The mission was really nice, especially since I was alive to see victory.
I managed 4 kills during the mission, mostly encounters closer than 50m.
The Shrine
In this adversarial mission, 2 persian Fireteams with a Marid and no night vision attacked a small band of hellenes, (also without night vision) protecting a sacred place on a small island. If that plot reminds you of anything, wait for what happens next.
I was CSAT, Alpha-1-5/6 (can't really remember) and our task was to lay down fire on the Shrine while Alpha-2 took to the boats to make an amphibious assault, in pitch black night. We couldn't really see anything outside of the 3 seconds of illumination
from the lighthouse and tried to shoot the tracers coming our way.
We ended up boarding the Marid, crossing the small strait and disembarking to help Alpha-2 which, at that moment was "2 men strong" (quoting the FTL). We saw some movement to our right, and thought nothing of it since it must have been Alpha 2. Checking the map proved that it wasn't. We chased, I saw one, 10m in front of me, he saw me, he was quicker and the draw.
Again I died right before victory. Let it be my curse.
You have a good day!
