Despite the numbers, it was still quite fun. Thanks for the OP!

Red Team did quite good, props to @Dachi and @Nibbles on naturally forming a buddy team, clearing areas and holding security. Both did great.

@Jerry was a good M2 gunner too, managed to somehow not get shot (that much) despite plenty of lead thrown at us.

While we did get all wiped, I will pretend it did not happend for the happy ending.

A simple strategy like Volken presented, works best.

Shad managed to tweak the opposing forces to create a well balanced game with increasing resistance as the operation progressed.

Bounding with good communication.

Communication about what to do about ambushes before we encounter the first one.

Infantry clearing the side streets for any possible RPG threats.

The decision not to push through resistance but instead take cover at the side of the road next to hard cover (building/ wall) saved us.

Taking care of each other when there’s no medic around.

The M2 shoots through thin walls.

Dislikes:
None. I could say that more people should show up but the low attendance yesterday might suggest a repetition of this same operation another day with more people around.
