Now we are moving to the last offensive for the turn : the Ol'Willy / Kalarion /
Helly, now heavily reinforced :
Remember the ATGM that hit Dayyalu a long time ago and that I thought was destroyed ? Well, it is still there. With a bunch of mortars, too
Once again, the front engine of the BMP-1 saved part of the crew, and Egosphere's squads, as only one of Ol' Willy's crewmembers died. Meanwhile, Endemic rushes to cover to drop his own load of men :
Checking a bit this Shrödinger ATGM mystery, I checked the angle of view it had, and indeed it has a large deadzones which was used by Dayyalu when retreating :
In any case, it is assault time ! 13 men [Helli and Egosphere' teams] while Vazha and Moistcloister [also 13 men] take position in the building next to Endemic :
The assault seems daring, but a close observation of the enemy line shows only an handful of them have assault rifles, the others don't have much to stop a human wave :
The enemy is quickly suppressed by Egosphere RPG, shoots Vazha/Moistcloister on the roof, and Kalerion in the back :
Enemy rockets and mortars are still landing close to us, but not close ENOUGH :
Egosphere and Helli reach the buildings !
From there, the mortars are eliminated :
Sukhavathi joins the party, but misses his shells agaiinst the ATGM :
We will have to assault the building with the ATGM servants :
One grenade is thrown by Egosphere from the ground floor to the first floor, killing the ATGM crew :
In the back, Vazha and Moistcloister move to complete the occupation of the row of flats :
There is a group of enemies, including mortars, in the field on the side. Range is a bit far for our militia to be efficient ...
But there were a few people that we all had forgotten - including me - in range :
Dayyālu and
CappenVarra :
As you can see, Ol' Willy is also using the mandatory extra engine in the trunk to replace the one that stopped an ATGM missile ^^ . I would have prefered if the game considered "destroyed" components as non-repairable in the field, as in Theater of War.
