Playing operation Silent eagle as the Russian army for the first time today, I have to say that It's now my favorite map.

Given transport towards the map's central town objective, our squad of 6 fought a hard house-to-house fight south through the town, taking on everything from tank crews to infantry squads to firebases to chinook helicopters. At several times, our squad was forced to re-assemble for the objective, but at long last we succeeded in capturing the city. With the squad so full of rare kits that we didn't even have a single rifleman to redistribute ammo, our squad once again set out via APC to assault a different objective, this time hill 184. pinned down by MG positions within the decaying rubble of the hill, our squad charged head-on into the fray, over-running the position and struggling for control of the flag. This continued until the end of the map. Regrettably, the Russians lost the round, but at a ending ticket count of 0:10, we were darn close. Kudos to the capable squadleader who lead us, and congrats to the talented squadmembers who followed. by our efforts alone we very nearly won the map.
