Apologies for the short notice, was a decision based upon a whim. Quick AAR;
Nelson and I kicked off with a two objective MCC mission. For some reason Patrol Ops didn't fire a mission. Objective 1 was secure the area, objective 2 release a HVT hostage. It was actually Mackay from the campaign! As we scooted off in a Hummingbird Septic Halo'd in and the 3 of us headed off from the LZ on foot. Both objectives were in the same village, Nelsen secured overwatch and Septic and I went in for some CQB. The village had civies in it which made things harder, but with Nelson's direction (Nelson, you need some compass training!
), and after much arse covering we all three secured Mackay and then bugged out for extraction. I've lost a number of AI helicopters from CSAT AA so we secured a large area before calling in the pick up. Was a good job too, because we came across an AA fire team in a village 500m from the LZ. After that Nelson had to go in for dinner, so Sceptic and I rebooted the mission and Patrol Ops fired off a UAV objective.
Friday night part II kicked off with a Mission to secure data from a UAV and then destroy it. Septic and myself set off in an AI helicopter with Septic steering MCC. Spear logged on and joined us with his own helicopter transport and as we came into the LZ he showed off his flying skills..... Sadly CSAT weren't impressed and shot him down over the objective. Spear reincarnated himself and halo'd back in and we secured overwatch as Septic download porn from the UAV. The videos must have been copyrighted or something because CSAT's response was drastic, sending in an overwhelming force from two opposite directions. Spear and I utilised delaying suppressive fire as Septic secured the data and called in an extract. Spear's overwatch position gave him great line of sight however it also gave the CSAT running down the mountain a great line of sight on him. After some medic hand rubbing from Septic under cover of smoke, we made a dash for it down the beach. The first extract helicopter was hit with AA and went down on the beach. We pushed south to look for a second LZ pursued by CSAT. We found a quiet spot and Septic used MCC to call in a second extract. Sadly he got stunt pilot Mike who flew around the LZ showing the CSAT force what he could do. He must have been more impressive than Spear, because they didn't shoot him down, and eventually Septic persuaded him to land and pick us up. We then went on an unprompted sight tour of the island as stunt pilot Mike got very confused with Septic's directions.
Sadly we didn't get time to try the teamspeak server Spear has got running. I'm looking forward to getting more immersion with RL voice comms. Both missions were fun, I especially liked the CQB. I was impressed with the MCC mission but everyone needs to have MCC mod running or you can't see the objective. We found this out as Nelsen didn't have MCC so was operating blind. Thanks to everyone who joined.
