Foothold Syria Take Papa and Foxtrot 06.12.24

Post by Bones »

Great turnout last night guys, thanks!

Well, we largely have good news as a result of this hop. We took Papa thanks to Creeper/Trichome and Wingy. Grifter and I covered Wingy's C-130 and were able to take down 4 bandits threatening him.



After Papa went blue, we turned out sights on Foxtrot where Jedi was already breaking them down with an Apache.

We tried to take out the patrol boats near Foxtrot but they had grunts on the shore defending them with SA-18s. We didn't have that intel in time:



But we did come back and were able to hit Foxtrot and take it over. This was done with Mi-24 HIND work from Creeper and Trichome, and AH-64D Longbow Apache work from Jedi. Grifter and I provided air cover as well as some ground pounding, primarily taking out AAA that was threatening the helos.



The bad news is that while we were focused on Foxtrot, somehow the enemy had launched a sneak counterattack on Papa. Just moments before Jedi and I logged off, I saw the message pop up that Papa was now neutral. Oh, well. We should be able to take that back easily though as we have the Abu Al-Duhur base close to there.

So overall great job!

Yeah Papa only had 4 scary humvees defending it and there was a convoy heading there so no surprise there. should have re-resupplied it after we took it initially.
