Completed Let's command Codexers in Syrian Warfare and crush Daesh

[taxalot]

Yeah autofollow for now. I actually don't have much time to read what has been going today, but I might do something bold tomorrow.
Or not.

 

[Endemic]

I'll stay put until the mortars and RPG in front are cleared. Then move to Baud's position facing the black building.

 

[ValeVelKal]

OK. Runned the turn. There was some "bullshit death", eg someone who died due to an engine limitation (long story short, a Metys ATGM should lose its target when LOS is broken, but in this case since someone else was seeing the target the SW engine considers the ATGM still tracked.
Re-run or accept ?

 

[Dayyālu]

Re-run or accept ?

If it's me it's a rerun, if it's someone else it's accept.

God, Syria and Bashar ;_;7

(I'd accept, bullshit engine is part of the charm)

 

[Darth Roxor]

Clearly this is homebrew daesh technology that runs on telepathic jihad. Accept.

 

[Sergiu64]

Accept.

 

[Strange Fellow]

If it's me it's a rerun, if it's someone else it's accept.

 

[Andnjord]

Re-run or accept ?

Accept, if Allah decided to martyr someone, who are we to question His design?

(It's an ATGM, surely they would never use it to target infantry, right?)

 

[Helly]

Accept. al-Helli's men already have done enough anyway.

 

[Endemic]

Accept.

III. Air Support

We start with Dayallu's T62 engaging terrorists, killing one :

You know one died, because the red triangle pointing to the group leader changed position. Someone got a promotion.

Not for long. al-Helli joins the fun and shoot at the building ...

... but manages to miss.

The newly promoted militant is nonetheless gunned down by the tank machine gun, which allows Dayallu to rotate the turret and start engaging with the canon targets in the second building :

The situation is clear enough for Catacombs' and Taxalot's team to advance.

In the middle of the battleline, Egosphere decides to jump in their Toyota to support Andnjord by the South :

Their movement is not missed by an elite Daesch ATGM specialist, who shoots :

... here I wanted to put a meme with "confused math lady" but with a Daesh inside, explaining what will happen, because in theory since the ATGM here is a wire-controlled, beam-riding Metys, when the specialist loses line of sight he should not be able to aim at the vehicle anymore, BUUUTTT...

ATGM are not really made for soft target so the car does not totally explodes, only the dude riding at the back is killed.

Egosphere and his remaining friend exit the vehicle. They won't let a setback like that stop them.

Note that in between, someone (either Andnjord's team or Baud's MG) killed the militant that Egosphere and Sergiu were manoeuvering to eliminate.

Another militant shoots at Egosphere, missing :

Egosphere's trusty RPG-7 does not miss :

And just like that, Andnjord's flank is secured.

Jumping back to the Dayallu/al-Helli/Taxalot/Catacombs group, a BMP-1 is spotted :

... but it does not last long. One shoot from the T62 puts it on fire :

al-Helli tries to contribute, but misses :

It does not change much, as the vehicle burns fully with its crew. The infantry can carry on its advance :

Moving back to Andnjord, with the removal of most of the jihaadists shooting with small arms in his general direction (most of them by Baud or Andnjord directly), as per instructions his team can move to eliminate the mortars :

The first soldier runs toward the wall and jump over it :

But under Ar-Ruksour's mortars pounding and some small arms fire he runs to cover on the other side :

(you can see a bullet mark that was really close in that last image)

The rest of the group takes no chance and uses grenades to dispatch the mortar team

The last shoots are coming from that building on the side ...

I am not sure what happened, but in the few seconds it takes me to check the air controller, there is no more RPO rocket available and the building looks like this ^^.

Speaking of the air controller, one of them had spent all that time crawling close to the building. we can all thank Egosphere and Strange Farouwd for cleaning up the debris from hidden militants. The help is there :

I had targetted both the large part of the building and the back, and both bombs hit the back, but it is good enough, though a few militants survived.

The Russian air controller also target the obvious target you ALL forget about : the small flat where the ATGM squad is hidden :

The ATGM squad is removed, and the Metys is ripe for the picking (by Assault or RPG squads only, replacing what they use). The survivors are actually from a smaller building behind, that was seriously damaged as well, or are behind a container on the side. I suspect their eardrums are bleeding and that they are deaf at that point.

Unfortunately, I am informed shortly thereafter that the planes are out of fuel and leave the area for refuelling. They will be back.

The last action of this sequence is for Dayallu, as again a BMP-1 is heading in his direction, oblivious about what happened to the previous one.

It is immediately neutralized by Dayallu, then finished-off with al-Helli's recoiless rifle :

Note that the whole group is under a significant mortar barrage, which among other damaged al-Helli's Toyota.


So here is the situation now :

The base defenses are starting to falter. You will need to arrive soon !

 

[Dayyālu]

See, guys, played enough Warthunder to know how to deal with this shit. I swear to God the Merciful, Realism Mode is better than what they teach you nowadays. Men, time for GLORY! Let's ADVANCE! Carefully.

I specify: if we see targets that can bother us engage. If it's only infantry ignore and push to mid to get to cover and start pestering the base assailants. Time to be DARING.

 

[Helly]

Dig on that sweet sweet atgm, we'll go sweep it then occupy the big building if it's empty.
Also that way we should get away from the mortar fire. Can we still move fast enough?

There are a few guys in the big building, probably not much but you don't have a tank. There is also one guy next to the container and one guy in the building behind the (former) building with the ATGM, plus other maybe unseen.

Thanks, well I won't last long against mortar fire anyway, time to join the others. I will go straight to where Sergiu is then northeast and I'll shoot at any militants from as far as I can until I can grab the atgm.
Sorry Dayyalu but I really want that magical ATGM +1 of Accuracy

 

[baud]

Since there's still enemy around the bombed flat just ahead of where we're standing, we can open fire on them. Once they're down, move forward to where they are and resume shooting duties

 

[Darth Roxor]

YALLA YALLA

Now that the central building has been cleared of the sons of pigs, it sounds like a good place to relocate and start lobbing shoes from.

 

[Andnjord]

as per instructions his team can move to eliminate the mortars :

The first soldier runs toward the wall and jump over it :

Allah Protects!

But under Ar-Ruksour's mortars pounding and some small arms fire he runs to cover on the other side :

Oh shit, forgot about that

The rest of the group takes no chance and uses grenades to dispatch the mortar team

I am not sure what happened, but in the few seconds it takes me to check the air controller, there is no more RPO rocket available and the building looks like this ^^.

Nevermind, victory!!!

Ok, orders now... I'll wait a little bit to see what my other brave companions are doing.

 

[Egosphere]

That los was probably correct because the shot was taken from one of the upper floors.

Hit the building across from mine with rpg. When they're down, try to catch up and hop onto endemic's bmp to hitch a ride. If you can't, then just make a beeline for that metis. With the bmp spam that's coming in, we'll need it.

There is no more target in your general area (not detected anyway). The guys from the other building were killed off camera by, presumably, Baud and Andnjord.

I guess "race for the Metis" between Egosphere and al-Helli. Gotta be fun, but he has an advantage : he has a car, you need to hitch a ride.

 

[Strange Fellow]

Am I convinced that I won't be blown to pieces if I try to make a break for the T55? No.

Will I do it anyway? Yes.

If possible though, try to run away in a courageous and noble sort of way if it turns out the way is not clear.

He's going to where Sergiu is and will cover me whilst i retrieve it

 

[Commissar Draco]

Colonel Commissar Abu Tanin reports for duty! Just give me some (Era protected) tank* and sword to hit those Zionist and Takwiri vermin Comrade.



*Can drive glorious hilux truck if no armor is viable.

FOR BAASSHAR! FOOOR SYRRRIAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Helly]

Is 'friendly' fire an option? Asking for my dear friend Egosphere.

Requesting an "ERA protected" tank ... the NERVES !
