Our 14 attendees, a squad sized force, pushed through two thick missions.

First up was a nighttime hike through the Stratis hills, the moonlight and crickets quickly interrupted by gunfire. Not too sure what went down on the ground, as I spent this one orbiting a few thousand feet high. All I know is that after blowing up several vehicles and strafing some infantry for about an hour, I was presented with the laser designation of a surviving recon soldier on the mission targets. It probably didn't matter all that much that we destroy those targets, our surviving force had basically cleared the entire airfield by the time we dropped that last GBU.

Second, we chose to avoid the hike and just take a ride in a Ghosthawk. With our Czapla escort (pronounced hell-CAT), we were able to hit two NPR held villages hard and fast. Things went very smoothly at the first objective, and then got extra-spicey at the second. I thought we were going to make it out with only two casualties until I watched two people get direct hit by two SPG rounds... Miraculously, some of us did survive, fought our way to the extract, and made it home. That'll teach those tote bag separatists!

Finally, with reduced strength, we ran a quiet run of Tarnow. In typical fashion our attacking force was slowly whittled down, but our remaining two humans drew strength from their comrade Hund's AI, radioing in from the starting point to say that he had dealt with a squad of enemies with nothing more than his handgun. Feeling inspired by this show of force, and extra delighted when the AI drove up in his little red jeep, our two survivors made it to the extract.
