As usual I didn't take any worth while screenshots, i think i have one of my squad, and if it saved, i will post it when I get home, but here is my long AAR report, hope you enjoy it and once again thanks Disposable for putting up with me and leading us to VICTORY!!


I was the SL of Squad 1, which was dubbed "Mech Inf" and "Squad 1." Our task was to setup a strong perimeter around south village, setup a RP shovel the FB, and have an apc crew support Squad 3 in setting up ambushes.

My hat is off to those H-AT crews on the hills of the radio tower......you guys really did an excellent job in creating some frustration to use grunts on the ground.

I was fortunate to have Steiner, Tralic Force, Disciple and SD03 justin, and Trilata (CHN). We held South Village as long as we could, I think alone i emptied more than 16 clips of ammo even at times just firing random 3 shot bursts at the hills in hopes of messing up a H-AT line of sight and a snipers birds eye view of the surrounding city.( I am most likely wrong but I, it sure felt like that much)

Disciple was my personal medic and accounted for 22 revives, I wasn't planning on having a medic in the squad at first but his request to be one, was in the end well warranted and I am glad he did it. Because those 22 revives could have been 22 points lost for the USMC.

After pulling back from south village we setup a rally in the east hills, and were using 2 apc's to cover infantry at south bunker....unfortunately they were taking out, but we shrugged it off and got to some good ground pounding. I for most of this engagement was in the hills trying to do my best at not annoying disposable completely, ha, and trying to laser targets for our fearless A-10 pilot (though i will say there was a laser bug toward the middle and the end, it just would lock on, It was definitely a MEC scrambling trick, or the batteries needed to be changed)

I did at one point get into a little nade fest with a lowly MEC rifleman, who got me, and then my nade got him or he bled out, in the hills i was also able to destroy some supply crates before the MEC team could setup a firebase, and i also stole a HAT kit from a lowly un-protected MEC soldier, who even though I was bleeding out was able to use the kit to the best of my ability, and made sure that when i did in fact die, there was no ammo left.

We even managed to setup a FB in the east hills that lasted quite awhile and alleviated some strain on the bunkers and FB in the bunker vicinity, but after awhile and with the recommendation from our fearless commander Disposable who did an excellent job and kept his temper very calm and relaxed suggested in a way only a general could, that i regroup with my squad and get ready to hit the dirt.

It was this time that I could see and hear the bullets whizzing by, I setup a Rally on the west side of the complex, and knew that, we were no longer the "Mech Inf" Squad we were known as in training, we were now the fearless "Squad 1" that would at all costs not let north bunker be taken, while striking fear into the war mongers who tried to shoot and throw rocks at us. The fight was coming to us, and as Marines we knew how to take it to them and to the limit.

I want to commend Disposable on making the right call at the right time. As the tickets on each side moved closer towards a tie, aka as the Marines made the gap smaller and smaller Disposable made the decision to pull everyone into a defensive perimeter around north bunker. This was the catalyst that proved to be nail in the coffin (along with rat’s fearless A-10 gun runs). It was a this time that my squad lost tralicforce due to an unseen consequence lag/comp problems = equal gaming death. I myself experienced this problem, crashing to desktop, however I was able to rejoin my squad and knew even though I was gone for minutes that they would be ok with disciple trading his medic pack for an officer kit and steiner and the rest of the guys holding their foothold.

It was at this point I saw some MEC infantry trying to pull the ol’ Texas Two step, I.E. trying to flank behind south bunker and move up towards north bunker on the east side of the compound, I wasn’t having it and even though I felt as if I was in the climax of the movie platoon, I spread my guys out thin but told them to put on three shot burst, and keep the enemy suppressed.

During this time and before we managed to take down a few enemy RPs and even a FB, but now as the tickets wore thin, we had to do what marines do best, hunker down and hold the line. Trilata was able to take out an APC with a perfect H-AT shot, so not to put our A-10 in harms way, Disciple revived me, and saved my life while using up his own, and steiner and justin held the SE side, while I along with Disciple guarded Trilata in the corner of the bunker outside as if he was in fact the “Golden Child.” At one point I was over-excited and afraid of him getting hit that I yelled at him, my apologies for that.

Then the tickets went down, and then there was 2, RatBast*rd took some a-10 Shots and his strafing runs helped make it go down, and then in a scene out of Vanilla, there was one lowly sniper everyone had eyes on. In a way of all the squads knowing the end of the MEC reign of terror was almost over, we banded together and all opened fire on this sniper, hoping we would get the final kill and seal our victory on the Desert of Kashan.

In the end after a tough gritty battle, once again we heard the sound of the electric Guitar playing in the background, playing our song, The Star Spangled Banner.

The MEC team fought well, and they died a good death.

VICTORY IS OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks to disposable and Imnotcanadian to stepping up and taking command, hopefully this is not the last time I see either of you in this position, because I know how disposable is a closet commander junkie!!

Great job all around to all Squad Leaders and members both foreign and domestic.
