Apart from the management issues.... great job. Best AAR too. Special points to the roadside posts. And to the miraculous link coming out the right when you are using STANAGs...

Just got to watch Harrier's Charlie angle on this scenario... It really brings home the difference between an 'every man for themself' withdrawal vs a somewhat staged withdrawal. Glad you repeatedly pulled up and defended others withdrawing with cover fire and your AAR for sticking with you (like they should) but it made all the difference in your, and your squad, and even other squad's survival numbers. Raster receives a gold star on his assignment. It felt like you were doing 'the right thing to do' given the 'run away' directives. (and the rats did scurry...) Even better, it would have been nice if the SLs had organised and managed staged withdrawal action - instead of just telling people to run (and get shot in the back). There's nothing more fun than when the kids play a good game of leap frog (or caterpillar). Another small thing is that if you can't normally get a good view (like from a roadside post) then hassle someone with binoculars to direct your fire when you're set up on the flat or road (one of FTLs jobs is 'to direct fire for his team' so have them do it, or SL...). Sure it's a hassle not seeing targets but you can deliver effective fire if well directed - you can be the indirect fire machine. (It's a bit 'next level' but does happen IRL) And then on your next maneuver phase find somewhere that does have a good view for a firing position...
