Previous history:

After failing to take the runway on 02/11/14. The valiant Commander Colebrook led a hasty retreat from the theater of operations. The depleted force had to make a fighting withdrawal to the deployment zone. It was thanks to having heroically secured the 3 bridges earlier that he managed the withdrawal. The enemy was at his heels all the way. Against heavy odds he brought the boys home. Commander Colebrook sustained heavy injuries.The enemy may be calling in reinforcements.

We need to take the runway!!!!

Hi Red

There are differences. Look at the quote below.

If it's alright with you guys, I may sit in for a while as an observer. Can't stay for the whole mission though.

You are welcome

So how did the mission go?

Deployment

Recon

Breach

always hard to clear a minefield. This unit got killed.

Alpha waiting for the Clear to Go over breach

Co declares a Failed Breach cause of the lack of MICLICs and the many tanks destroyed while tried passing, then an alternative bridgelay point is declared and executed.

Alpha Company Moves out and finds another minefield without any Breaching units left

Approaching the objective

Objective taken and Counterattack Defense

Other images from Bravo Company

Killed by a mine

Attacking enemy AFV destroyed

Crossing the Engineer-Laid bridge

A Company repelling the enemy counterattack

Firing

Connaugh

Killed by a mine

It's mine over matter.... :bigsmile:

So did the communications setup work as desired?

Hi MDF

We have tried the "commander" function before and though it is not perfect it seems workable at the moment. We are also trying alternative setups and will let you know what we end up using.

BTW, Durham, I thought the PowerPoint briefing was a nice touch. I may steal that idea for my United Operations OPORDs.
