I was the driver/SL for APC squad 1 which was |TG-Irr|Serjikal and me. Our job was to support INF 1 which was Ollie's infantry squad. Taking a warrior, our goal was go immediately proceed west of Train to hold the western road while other squads secure and hold Train. Just as we approached Train, we immediately took two RPG hits, which surprised me that the Militia could get there so quickly. Fortunately we weren't tracked so we proceeded to our destination to unload our troops and wait for the AT squad to arrive.

It wasn't long until I heard the sound of tanks to the west. Fortunately, I don't believe they heard us, but to be safe, I took the warrior into the woods north of Train to clear out that RPG squad that hit us earlier. Ollie did a great job providing infantry support as we cleared out the woods and positioned to overlook Train.

If there was one thing that I could describe about our round, it was hurry up and wait. The entire game seemed like it was a giant lull punctuated by high intensity firefights. We did a lot of defending while the infantry did their best to take on the armor.

Eventually Ollie was able to call in an artillery strike on the tanks while they were waiting on the road north of Warehouse. They were able to track them both. Not wanting to wait until they get repaired, my APC rushed up to take on the tanks in a direct assault while they were wounded. We rushed straight up the road and began unloading AP rounds into first tank which quickly caught fire and exploded. We then went up to the next tank and began firing again, however we ran out of rounds and needed to reload. While damaging the tank, we were not able to destroy it before some RPG rounds took us out with great haste. I believe Ollie was finally able to destroy the second tank with a LAT.

After we grabbed a second warrior, sabre_tooth_tiger was able to join the game and became our engineer. We positioned our tank in a beautiful hull down position north of warehouse to overlook Hilltop. From there I grabbed an officer kit and began spotting targets. There must have been three RPG rounds that went to the APC, but none of them even scratched the paint. We were able to take down the bunker in Hilltop to allow Ollie and another infantry squad to successfully assault hilltop. However, a militia squad was able to sneak up behind us and take us out with some RPGs.

The rest of the round was pretty much driving around preventing Train and warehouse from falling. We sat in Helicopter to neutralized it after we grabbed a scimitar, but we were not able to hold it and we came back to train to turtle for the rest of the round. It was difficult as Serjikal had to leave and Sonic (thankfully) came to gun for me. By the end of the round I could barely focus on driving and kept running into trees However, the tanks eventually got us in the last 10 minutes after we ran away several times. I spent the rest of the round laying mines near warehouse trying to get the tanks to run over them.

The militia were a formidable force and I don't think I had ever been so afraid of those tanks on Fool's Road.
