It was touch and go towards the end. Once the Village was finally taken when we only had about 450 troops left on the books, we could press on.
Judicious use of commander assets (now they are fixed by the Devs and work properly!) gave good bunkers and firebases south of Checkpoint and on the SOuth side of Village.
The Insurgent forces were full of grumblings about the Brit AA guns raping the hell out of every vehicle they tried to drive into the Brit bases. Many insurgent vehicles were vaporised in mere seconds.
Bunkers placed repeatedly in the Plaza and Mosque, surrounded by sandbags to protect the Brit troops gainst incoming fire proved their worth and once the Industry was taken a couple of times and the Brit forces steamrollered Suburbs the end was near.
But reinforcement numbers were leaning towards the Insurgents side and task squads set out to capture as many civilians as possible, increasing the Brit reinforcement numbers and the balance never swung totally over to allowing the Brits to lose.
From 400 down to 200 and the Insurgents started to fall to pieces. Many hours of fighting was leading to frustration leading to mistkes and letting too many civilians be caught.
When the Brits finally won with about 45 troops left, the cheering started and back slapping all round for the Brits.
Respect to the troops and heres the rollcall :
respect to the Poles for fielding a great team of shovel men!
