The other night, on Fool's road. On the Brit's side, we had captured all flags, except the fortress a hundred or so metres south-east of Militia's mainbase. The fortress was obviously occupied by the enemy, and possibly had defences up.
Our SL ordered a fire mission of 6 rounds of mortar - I'd like to add, we were 40 metres from the fortress, laying down on the hill. Our plan was to wait for 6 rounds, then 3 rounds of smoke to cover us as we charged in. Well, the mortars went off - the disorientation kicked in, but none of us were hurt. The 6 rounds of HE were completed and the smoke was being fired. 30 seconds later, smoke filled the hills, and as we charged in. We found nothing but dead Militia.
We then took up defensive positions and defending the fortress until we had kept it, luckily for us, mortars must have killed atleast 9 enemy, since the waves of militia were small.
I love the mortar!
It felt as if there were "mortar magnets" attached to our helmets or something... After capping & quickly losing South City and the Mansion to Hamas infantry, we tried to make several counterattacks - needless to say, these attempts ended with total failure. As soon as we got out of the main and started pushing forward, the shells started falling like rain - and it was damn accurate, almost every single bomb hit & killed at least one of our troops! We had no idea where their spotters were hiding - it was nigh impossible to leave the main anyway no matter how hard we tried. Finding and eliminating them would've been extremely difficult under such circumstances.
