It was a very successful mission. Rinix used the Bradleys as well as anyone, he knew when to dismount the troops and put lots of firepower into enemy PCs. Lumi killed lots of tanks, while suffering only one damaged M1A1. Me? Well, I started off killing of recon units, but was mostly relegated to dropping tons of artillery on the enemy and handling resupply. I did manage to give about three squads of enemy dismounts plenty of lead to the west, but I was the CO so I left most of the fighting to the platoon leaders.
We started off with a smokescreen to cover the infantry as they had to move over some open terrain. I had them move to the western flank using the buildings as cover behind the smoke, while Lumi moved the tanks on our east along the steep hills. The town itself was easy to clear out, but the enemy on the western side of the river were a bigger threat. Lumi and Rinix delivered plenty of hell upon the entrenched foes on that side of the river, then proceeded to clear out Objective 1. We were constantly taking enemy fire, resulting in Lumi suffering serious damage to his #1 tank, but we kept pushing on and never really suffered much trouble from fire since. Rinix and I conducted target practice on enemy dismounts and PCs inside the town and to the western riverside, then ordered everyone to reload. Shortly afterwards, Rinix was taking close fire from the hidden FO units and decided to push south along the river highway before I had a chance to send tanks to support his tracks and push along the eastern highway which was nestled in the hills. Sadly, the #1 Bradley ate a ATM at close range and was shish-ka-bob. I ordered his remaining tracks to fall back and dumped about five total missions along that ridge. There were some enemy dismounts further south on that ambush sight, but we made short work of them.
Once Lumi added one of his tanks to the river highway, we pushed to the south and killed everything in our sight. The enemy had some tanks off the south side of the map, but Lumi's superior gunnery skills sent them to the infernal regions. We killed all but maybe three enemy troops and that hidden FO team. We lost one Bradley, two dismount troops, and a damaged tank. MAJOR VICTORY!!!
