Objectives
- Find an eliminate enemy encampment at OBJ Snake
- Capture enemy FOB at OBJ Liquid
- Find and eliminate enemy artillery position at OBJ Naked
- Create a distraction for allied units to escape OBJ Solid
Accidents
WIA:
- 1LT Drake
- SSG Tucci
- SGT Pendergast
- SGT Shade
- SGT Abel
Areas of Strength
- Squad level tactics to eliminate enemy positions
- Communication within the platoon
- All squads were able to at least run with 2 fireteams
Areas of Weakness
- Preparations were poor, the platoon did not bring enough AT weapons
- Platoon HQ moved too closely together, causing IDF to eliminate it and create a gap in communication with the outside
- Rosomak tactics still need improvement
Suggested Improvements
- OBJ Snake was slightly too detailed, causing frame drops
- Too much enemy armor. We're only an infantry platoon, it doesn't make sense that we're fighting 2-3 armored tank platoons
Mission Summary
Widowmakers convoyed to the village of Ripdorf. A Polish squad informed the platoon that the forest north of the platoon's dismount point was heavily reinforced with enemy machine guns. Nonetheless, the platoon continued with their plan and moved onto the road north of Ripdorf. The road was below the terrain and thus allowed the platoon to dismount safely and set up in a platoon line. When the order was given, all vehicles and personnel moved off the road and onto the field. Vehicles knocked out the enemy machine guns and friendly infantry prioritized setting up trenches.
After decisively pushing the enemy back into the forest, the platoon went in pursuit. Splitting up the platoon and assigning a sector of the forest to each squad. Squads were to continue north through OBJ Snake until the enemy camp was located. Widowmaker 2 managed to find the camp and set up explosives to eliminate it.
While dealing with OBJ Snake, the platoon got an urgent call to assist an SAS unit in OBJ Solid. They got pinned down and needed an opening to escape the town. Widowmakers created a distraction on the west side of town whilst 3CAB evacuated the SAS members on the east side. The platoon was under constant artillery fire at this point which caused heavy casualties within platoon HQ.
Friendly artillery as well as 3CAB were already trying to knock out the enemy artillery but had little to no success and the platoon kept on getting battered to no end. Eventually Widowmakers were able to recover and they moved on to OBJ Liquid.
Upon arrival to the battle positions in OBJ Liquid it was clear that it wouldn't be a piece of cake. The enemy FOB had vast empty fields surrounding it and it had an impressive armored unit defending it. Widowmakers got to work and slowly started denting the enemy defenses until eventually squads were able to bound up to a nearby enemy bunker. From there the platoon was in a better position to start flooding in and one by one squads made their way into the enemy FOB.
During the final offensive OBJ Naked was also destroyed by both friendly artillery as well as 3CAB. Little late but that meant the mission was complete and we did not have to go there anymore.
