Oh, absolutely. We did spot and made it possible to intercept a probe by a BTR platoon, so at least we weren't completely useless
Well, I could say I wish we'd played mission 1 and then mission 3 instead (which in that case would have been mission two? :confused: )
There's no doubt we wouldn't have been able to do anything at all to the enemy push though. It was just that after we'd finally gotten out of that ruddy forest (AI + trees + hills = sad puppies) in the east and were able to rush towards a defensive area the mission stopped.
Yea this bit confuses me a bit, because we spotted the enemy convoy, which went BRDMs, BTRs, trucks, then some more stuff; but the only thing that went through the town itself were the three trucks, which we then killed.
I understand they would be reluctant to continue through after that, but our plan was to let the lead escorts pass, then set off the ambush to kill the trucks. At least that would've let us have some forces to our south to engage as well.
I'm not sure what made them do that.
Heh I'm glad the mission was ended when it was. Let's just say that after the trucks were destroyed, I had time to hand over my units to Duke and drive into town to pick up my sister from a party and get back before anything had happened to them.
