PVP Persian Predicament Turn 3

[@notagged]

I must adore agressive style of your opponent.

[@System-Update]

Turn 3, and 3 BDRMs scooting up the open flank leaves Hapless on the horns of a dilemma...

[@Mr.Praetor]

Before, I was scared. Now, I was terrified. Stuck in the open, staring down a heavy machinegun... I cursed the day I was ever assigned to the Teoublemakers. Bagel's A team let off their last two LAWs before he and Mozz were laid flat. "This is fucked!" I heard Palma exclaim from over my shoulder. Seconds later there was a wet "THWACK" sound, and Palma too was gone. I started screaming and firing. Firing and screaming. The AT was gone. The Dragon was reloading. We were stuck in the open facing two BRDMS. If there was any consolation to be had, the Lt wouldn't live much longer than we would. I screamed and shot. Shot and screamed. But there was nothing I could do. (All three casulties on my squad so far, RIP to the glorious heroes. We will keep these vehicles focused on us long enough for 1st and 3rd squad to LAW them. Maybe. We will fins out next time on "The Unfortunate Life and Loomig Death of Private Praetor".)

[@Palma5025]

"Ready and willing" I answered the call, only for a moment later to be curled up dead in a ball.

[@zaponator]

Mmmm, bagel with mozzarella and parm... I mean, RIP Bagel, Mozzarella, and Palm! :P

ATGMs Remaining: 23 ATGMs Fired: 1 ATGM Hits: 0 Vehicles Killed: 1/24

[@skinnybob6784]

If I was the gunner of that shot between the wheels, I would have counted that as a hit. I mean, who in the heat of combat could argue or even see otherwise? 😅

[@CarlosZig]

The rush was an amazing move, I'm just hoping he doesn't spawn camp your reinforcemts, that would be super gamey and kill the fun. Other than that, kudos to him, this will be amazing!

[@3badgersinatrenchcoat]

The shape of the map artificially shapes the way we think about the battle. I wonder, if it was real, whether the soviet commander would choose to hook in from the North and the high ground. As it is, it would be a shame if the constraints of combat mission reinforcements spoils the tactical decision making of the players due to how they pop into existence

[@Palma5025]

I'm dead?

[@Palma5025]

Yeah, I'm dead.

[@ba3787]

The fourth salvo went seconds later, chopping down Sgt Bagel, the Jewish sergeant everyone knows, and Pvt. "Palma", the Miami kid.

[@robbob9273]

Welcome to the after life pal

[@ba3787]

"The BRDMs do not miss the third salvo. Immediately Sgt "Mozz Orella", the Italian kid from Brooklyn was instantly hit by the string of tracer fire. The first and second rounds sliced off his arm, the third round turned his shoulder into a bloody mess, and the fourth round hit his head. What was a young, rather doughy-looking face is now a bloody, gaping hole, a mixture of brain and blood oozes out as his heart beats for the last few times. The fourth salvo went seconds later, chopping down Sgt Bagel, the Jewish sergeant everyone knows, and Pvt. "Palma", the Miami kid. "

[@3badgersinatrenchcoat]

Vaguely remembering a CM video on soviet doctrine that I watched (maybe it was by Free Whiskey?), the brdm push along the highway seems like textbook soviet 1st echelon tactics to find and prove avenues of approach for the follow-on forces Edit: this is the video I was thinking of kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5bcZ52foZKmi68

[@usuallyhapless9481]

Yeah, Luka is very on point expoiting the Soviet's mobility here!

[@wojszach4443]

other games:armored cars are weak and meh, why bother any game that follows any semblence of realism: i hate those cursed machinegun bunkers!

[@skinnybob6784]

Maybe the Recon vehicles saw a straight stretch of road and decided to have a race that got out of hand and into enemy lines.. But, seriously, it is a tempting road to push 😅

[@mimir4965]

Lets hope the opponent won't cheese it.

[@mago3101]

the easiest route isn't always mined it seems

[@JTF2C2]

[@afrikacorpse]

Winners of the red pen award (aka casualties) Turn 3 (spaces to create a spoiler) Mozz-Orella Palma5025 Sergeant Bagel (please advise correct spellings)

[@3badgersinatrenchcoat]

With Sgt Bagel and Mozzarella down, I was hoping we'd have enough -ingredients- casualties to make lunch. Maybe this is why I was sure the 3rd casualty was called Parma (as in the ham)

[@afrikacorpse]

@@3badgersinatrenchcoat lol, that's amazing. Reminds me of the joke in Airplane! where Captain Oveur says "Give me ham on 5, hold the mayo." I think Bagel and Palmer must be Patreons because I cannot find their names on the signup post to confirm the spellings. I hope your Dragon skills are up to scratch, because I cannot help but notice that Hapless keeps saying "dragons" plural when referring to stopping those back-rushing BMDs, whilst he's just ordered my jeep to drive about 250 metres to the front, so I think you're on your own there...

[@3badgersinatrenchcoat]

@@afrikacorpse well, channel members have already gotten access to the first 7 turns, so I won't spoil anything for you 😉

[@ba3787]

Everyone lunged themselves to the ground, gunshots whipped across the air as the 3rd squad scrambled to put out as much heat as possible to engage the Soviet recon party. The assistant AT man went to his knees before trying to load another missile into the still-smoking Dragon launcher, a broken BRDM lies across the field. Sgt "Mordschlag", nicknamed after a character from his "Dungeon and Dragon" session, spotted a figure with a sack on his back. "Go for the radioman first", the ranger school drilled the concept into his head. He screamed to the rest of the fireteam, "2 o'clock! Engage the radioman!" the little figure almost made it across the stream of hate when a round got him, he fell like a broken doll. His buddy survived and took refuge behind the buildings. The BRDMs do not miss the third salvo. Immediately Sgt "Mozz Orella", the Italian kid from Brooklyn was instantly hit by the string of tracer fire. The first and second rounds sliced off his arm, the third round turned his shoulder into a bloody mess, and the fourth round hit his head. What was a young, rather doughy-looking face is now a bloody, gaping hole, a mixture of brain and blood oozes out as his heart beats for the last few times. The fourth salvo went seconds later, chopping down Sgt Bagel, the Jewish sergeant everyone knows, and Pvt. "Palma", the Miami kid. Mordschlag went back into action, no time to waste. , waved his hand at the AT trooper, who strained to lift up the heavy launcher tube before the telltale yellow flash blooms out of its barrel. He can feel the time slowing down, another BRDM will burn, he can hear a voice narrating from above.
