Broken Arrow demo stuff -
This is the opening part of the mission, clear this area, specifically a tank platoon and 6 ground to air missile launchers around the map, take this small island, advance onto main island in distance, taking a hill fort that has artillery batteries on that will destroy our main landing forces, and take important areas on that island
Our starting point is covered by this bad boy
I move our marines up in their landing craft, whilst marine recon elements stay in the high rises and keep an eye on the tank, and also order some AT Dragon troops
The marines wait for the dragon troops to destroy the tank before they occupy the buildings
A landing craft ordered back to base for a points refund chooses a route out of the front of the building in front of the enemy tank
Dragon troops arrive and fire the first AT missile, seen heading across the first pond
Down one T72
A BRDM comes to see what all the noise is about
And he gets a dragon in the face too
Marines move up the left and right flank and soon spot 2 of the missile launchers
And they both go down quickly with hardly any armour
A Hind starts buzzing the right flank, I order up a Stinger team and stick them on the right
and it doesnt last long
Supporting the advance of the marines on the left we lose a LAV to some BRDMS at the crossroads
But we return the favour on the other side of town
I bring in supplies and more marines for the left flank
The marines on the right face their first ambush, the LAV moves forward to provide fire support
Its been a much easier ride for the right flankers
With a reinforced line across the centre the enemy send naval unit reinforcements
After intense CQB house to house fighting the right is clear and these troops move left to consolidate the force
Forces close in on the last missile launcher
Mission accomplished
We need these guys........ over there
Ospreys inbound
Get to the chopper.......
'Clear the fort, take the fort'
A viper decimates the artillery on the hill whilst the Ospreys start dropping off the marines
Hidden AA assets open fire on the Ospreys but they deliver their load safely and return to base
I take the hill, it just needs holding long enough in the face of an enemy para assault whilst our main landing force comes in
Here they come
We hold them off - the main landing force is inbound with abrams, lavs, marines........
and then the demo craps out and kicks me out with a blue screen - good news, its a great game and fun to play, i played on half speed and it looks and works great at that speed - bad news, theres no save function or autosave so the 2 hours it took to get here has gone
