Post by: RedWardancer on February 26, 2016, 04:54:00 PM: Just a pain for the Brads, as the trees were perfect missile blocks. I sure hope the M3s have plenty of the updated APDSFS-T rounds, gonna need 'em. 8)

And something about no map updates... :'(
Title: Well...
Post by: RedWardancer on February 28, 2016, 03:44:57 PM: Turned out to be a success after all. Only 9 vehicles lost (one of them was mine), but I'm still peeved at Durham who vented his Friday night frustration out on my dismounts :P

I am accustomed not to tie up the net unless there is something to report. This lead to a lack of communication to the troop commander (Assassin) for about half the length of the mission. Very well, he's gonna get plenty of commo next time! 8).

The western flank had lots of action going on, while the eastern flank where I was deployed at was so-so. It's ok though. Asid actually suffered zero losses, while I lost a cav unit and a dismount team (no reason to repeat what happened, right Durham?). All in all, good mission. I truly believe that the DOGS have a competent, solid roster of players.

Title: Look at it this way:
Post by: RedWardancer on February 29, 2016, 01:41:50 AM: We were outnumbered, outgunned, had no enemy map updates, no true infantry support, played in heavily forested hills, and had Durham on our side killing our own troops. I call that great victory! 8) ;D :D

Yes. Thanks :)

Remember to always tell all present of your intention to record.

Also you should put in the YT description that whisper lists were in use or viewers will find it odd and think the comms were messy.
