Rotareneg Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I was just kidding around because the Canada border returned almost completely to the original staring positions. With 43 kills it's clear they were rather busy up on their side dealing with the UK's big push, so any help they found time to send our way was greatly appreciated. :thumbup: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) iFBPAGxYsWw Thanks for letting us hear the US net - loved the description of "carpet tanks". Perhaps you can video the proceedings at "Rolling Thunder: Operation Rising Bear" in between US CT tasks? Ideally though we'd get coverage of the other CTs too. Toyguy - How could you ever doubt us?

Tjay Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It was insanity on all fronts, with great performances on all sides, Well, if you call losing all your MBTs a great performance, I'd hate to see what you'd call a failure. Oops - scrub that, I seem to have suffered a nasty personality (literally) transplant. Oof! Back to normal now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think it will be hard to beat the action we saw in mission 2 in the remaining missions. Very intense! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Brun, may I ask a question? You certainly handed us our asses on a silver platter after we broke out of our salient, and at first we thought you had cleverly anticipated our move. But the presence of at least one MICLIC and other support assets in that group of tanks assembed just to the north of our MLA indicates that they might have been placed there originally for some other purpose - such as breaking through the minefields protecting the town. Just curious, but if you don't wish to comment, I understand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 As Bill Belichick would say in a low mumble. " I do what I think is best for My team" Fair enough. But that means that in the UKA official history, that engagement will be recorded as 'The Canadians got lucky'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well you need to bait a trap with something. All Brun had to do was tell us were your were hiding and the whole of UKArmour would have Went for you. As it is you were lucky you only lost one tank although you were hit by at least Four javelin strikes against your platoon. and hit multiple times by CR-2 main gun fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithcorp Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Speaking of movies, the video by Rotareneg is excellent. I'm half-way through, but it's certainly exciting. Those Leos are quick on the trigger and deadly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
