Gibsonm Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 After the last two weeks of "test and adjust" regarding the time, BG ANZAC is running another Sunday afternoon activity this weekend, but commencing slightly later at 0900 GMT (1900 for East Coast Australia). This will not be the usual Teach / Discuss followed by Application of the Thursday nights. This will be more free flowing and similar to the "Ad Hoc" sessions held by others, but at a more "Australian Friendly" timing. Your Local time: Click on this link for the Local time in your part of the world Count down: Time remaining until Meeting start IMPORTANT: As a serving Officer, I am not allowed to make "public comment" about topics without clearance. This is why my signature block says what it says to cover written comment. Recorded audio on YouTube = "Public Comment", especially if I were to express a personal opinion (without knowing someone was recording). In addition recording people's voices in Australia is illegal without their permission or a Warrant. If you want to record a session, ASK! We maybe about fit you in (I maybe able to play the OPFOR, etc.). If you don't ask: a. Expect me to ask you to remove the YouTube (or other media). b. Don't be too surprised if you aren't welcomed back. As always, visitors (apart from one individual) / first timers / spectators are welcome. Current Standard: 4.023 (perhaps for the last time ) Please use the new Calendar RSVP function or post here to facilitate planning. Anyway we'll see how it goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumituisku Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Great mission. I very much enjoyed participating to this mission. It was great. Observing EA Hammer... no enemy activity, besides occasional civilian vehicles and a weird big thing... but it turned out to be just a buss. (With potentiall enemy in there, hmm? ) And no dust to be seen either... and as it is early morning sun is about to get up. Bradleys waiting to ambush potential enemies, would those be spotted. So far, so silent, but how long? 3A has already had plenty of action. One of those M1s is reversing to get more ammunition. (on the right) 2 Alpha likewise has had plenty of action. Some rather close! So ammunition needs to be resupplied. Enemy might rally at any moment! 3 Alpha is in position waiting for enemy to approach, perhaps not the most ideal location? All silent on EA Hammer that my 2 Bradley are guarding. - All action seems to be at south where tanks have had ton of action already. 3 Alpha gets multitude of bitter greetings from enemy. Ouch! Phew.. all still good... New try! INCOMING! Ouch... Umm.. CO is not going to be happy. Unfortunately... No body informs supply trucker who sits there not having a clue before suspicious dark shapes of enemy bmp-2s creep from forest! Fortunately COs suspiciouns and warning message alert him just early enough and he survives with pair of spare trousers. Tank from 2 Alpha moves forwards to gain touch to hiding enemy forces... lets see how that goes? So far so good... there seems to be more luck than with destroyed 3 alpha platoon on background at the forest line. Tracked!!! Yet another wave of enemy comes! See those BMP-2s at low grounds. Enemy danger close! Well those were dealt with and then there was time to get my selfie camera again and to take photo of our brave Javelin team. Who now keeps over-watch, in where tanks no longer dare to go. Lets wish luck for these brave soldiers! Lets see... Uh uh, enemy company at the far distance, and some tank movement. Friendly artillery landing spot on! Keep it raining, good hits good hits! Fate of solo tank from 2 Alpha... Alone in the middle of battlefield without anyone able to rescue him... and later taken out by enemy. After a long silence, a riffle squad and javelin team are send forward to observation position. Enemy makes yet a final attempt, and hero infantry is able to give warning of enemy attempt, remaining friendly tanks, give them a warm welcome! While two dismounts dive down, between firefight of friendly and enemy tanks. Tank on left was destroyed just meters away from them! Tank guns, Arty and Javelin fire have done good work. Last few enemy units are quickly eliminated before mission in ended. This was very good mission. I am looking forward towards the next one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithcorp Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Nice shots Lumi - I'll add some of mine. I had a shocker last night, completely bewildered by the goings-on most of the time and after the first engagements with 3A I left them exposed in front of that thick forest while I fooled around with a Jav team. I cost a lot of pixeltruppen lives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
