The mission was a complete success as we cleared each CP and engaged multi able enemy strengths, and even with the surprise of a BTR bearing down on us.

As a medic I was not board after each engagement I would move around to find out if any one was injured.
I even at one point picked up the NLAW and destroyed the BTR that was decimating our position along with cougar who peppered it with grenades.

Leadership:

I found the leadership highly involved and clear and it was nice to hear Asid stepping up when his commander was down.

Mission maker:

A great mission, time and effort went into this and it showed the mission was ideal for both foot and vehicle patrols.
I can't say anything bad about it and would love for cougar to continue making great missions.

My findings:

When we all died at one point in the mission, we must try not speak on what has happened.
I was guilty of this my self.
If guys see targets and they are engaging then let every body know where they are as he could have other op for near him.
A simple target front is enough or even target at 334, keep it short and to the point.

And finally a big thank you to: Cougar for a great mission and Lusik for hosting the game

The mission was completed successfully. Though we had a few casualties. We had an issue with the 50-Cals not working on the HUMMVV's. That would have come in real handy. This meant we had to do most of the mission on foot losing the cover and protection of the vehicles. This also extended the time it took to do the mission. We split the squad into 2 fire teams. 1 & 2. I was in 1.

My role was the Rifleman. I provided support and worked well with my section. i took over the lead role when my co was taken out by the enemy. This was until he returned. We had excellent leadership from both Cougar and Gunslinger. We had a clear and effective plan of action from the CO, Gunslinger.

I did have an issue with recognition of my fire team as we were in close proximity on many occasions....These guys all look the same to me...... I did discuss the use of a mod. Some type of HUD/Radar to show where the individuals are. This would aid us greatly in moving as a cohesive group. Due to our delay in moving at pace. We started to experience deteriorating light conditions. Not all of us had packed NVG's. I had...Others had not and were starting to show some concern.

Excellent immersive mission created by Cougar

The CO, Gunslinger decided to drive. I was in the passenger seat next to him. I expressed my concern that he was driving in a hot zone


Durham was ready on the 50Cal...Until it failed him. The mechanisms were jammed!


I knew it was a mistake to let the CO drive. He got hit by 2 rounds and had te receive emergency aid at the scene!


Our CO had a great plan and we used the terrain to great effect!


Taking this group of buildings was brutal. We lost 2 of our guys!


But we made the enemy pay dearly!


We needed a rest after that firefight!


Half way through the mission we managed to commandeer 2 more vehicles...They also had faulty 50 Cals's!


Cougar blew the enemy mortars. He set a 40sec delay...He tripped coming down the hill. Notice I had NVG's...
