Our story:

Initial deployment was to East Beach via |TG-Irr|Sonic and his rock-solid huey skills. We took the flag without incident and received our two supply crates, so we built a bunker there. Began deploying assets (HMG positions, wire, sandbags) and got most of it constructed when we began to receive fire from a MEC squad that took position in the hills to our east.

We returned fire with grenadier, H-AT, a few well-placed TOW shots, and lots of other toys. We had the ammo advantage with our two crates, and Sonic brought us a present every once in a while to keep us going. We certainly gave a lot more than we took and keep the MEC squad pinned down. They would return fire, but it was mostly ineffective with the exception of a well-placed H-AT shot on the TOW emplacement. We refused to leave the position to protect the bunker in case we lost dam and were forced to defend the beaches.

Once both humvees spawned in on the bunker, we elected to make a push to bridge to assist there. We engaged one or two vodniks and were trying to get a L-AT shot at the apc roaming over the bridge and dam, but never really got a clear shot. During this time dam went neutral and we tried to relocate there to assist. By the time we were in position to do anything the other USMC squads had regained control of the flag and we were free to assault Jabal Al Burj. During this time the bunker at East Beach was lost to the enemy.

As we were maneuvering toward Al Burj, we flanked an enemy squad over-looking the bridge flag and assisted in taking them down with the .50 cal on the humvee, then we raced into Al Burj proper. After a couple of close calls with a MEC apc on patrol, we managed to get into position to hide and begin neutralizing the flag.

We almost had it capped when the MEC team brought reinforcements to the city and thwarted our flag cap with the flag at about 95% in our favor. What followed was a pitched battle in the streets where we played cat-and-mouse with the MEC apcs and got into several firefights with the MEC infantry there. On more than one occasion we lost our rally and everyone in the squad with one lone exception: caffeine. As luck would have it, he was our squad medic and he saved our bacon. Just phenomenal work on his behalf.

We finally were able to push north through Al Burj and came across an enemy fire base and rally point near the gas station. We took down the fire base (shown in the picture) and eliminated MEC resistance in Al Burj while our other squads delivered a JDAM square on their main to seal the victory.

It was one of the best matches I've had on Jabal in quite some time. That map has such great potential for epic fights, you just need to throw in some teamwork and it can be one of the most even maps in PR!

Great job to my squad, the USMC team, and also to the MEC team. It was just a fun round to play.
