The setting, TG server, Yamalia.
The round thus far was pretty eventful with the Russians holding Obj Alpha denying the Canadians the ability to advance, however in a turn of events the Canadians pushed back, taking in order, Alpha, Foxtrot, Kilo and pushing on Hotel. With some daring insertions by the crazy Dbzao as Russians we managed to push back to Alpha again, with our eyes on the end game capping out the Canadians. Again dbzao goes for a risky insertion by helicopter to about 400m from Canadian Obj attacking from the south west. |TG-6th| Google’s squad was going to be inserted to the south east, with intel that the area was clear we set off for the attack.
With the LZ in sight there appears the one thing that a transport chopper doesn’t want to see, a LAV3 sat behind trees opens up. Immediately aborting the insertion, desperately seeking cover from the APC, but the damage was done and the cow was going down. Ditching just North of obj Alpha in an opening everyone survived, and Google’s squad moved into the cover of trees. Determined not to lose another Cow repairs were demanded with the upmost urgency. The truck was not far out, and in the nick of time it came just as the Cow was on fire, some of you may be aware but one repair station is just not enough.
Thankfully the usual tactic of dumping supply trucks all over the place and been used so an abandon one was near by. Plasmamarine the supply truck driver took the pilot to this abandoned truck, which just so happened to be behind an enemy attack on Alpha. Luck prevailed and 2 crates were readily available to get the Cow back on its feet.
Other things didn’t go to plan and the enemy overran the forces at Alpha, and the pilot was taking incoming fire, dropping the crate from the Cow and quickly getting a crewman kit to fight off the closing in enemy infantry. To the rescue of alpha came dbzao with BTR-80A support, clearing out the infantry and allowing the helicopter to return safely to main for urgent final repairs, resupply and a plaster or two for the pilot.
To finish off this, a new offensive was launched to the north east of Canadian objective, this was successful and the round was won for the Russian Forces.
Mention in dispatches go to:
Dbzao – for daring insertions that were swift and brutal, with a high success rate (his squad ended the game with over 15000 points). Using good comms as always.
Google - for solid infantry work in both offense and defense, and for finding most of the time and nice uneven LZ
Plasmamarine – for that bit of teamwork that came naturally to him in the recovery of the downed Cow.
Good game, well played.
