Next wed hold the bridge like its ww1 again. Problems i think i ran into were that we just couldnt get the NW for the longest time, and then when we got a frontline base i ordered a squad to defend it but they kept leaving . Also i think we were losing a lot of tickets at the bridge because they were being pounded from the east and the west. I attempted to go across the river but they had 2 apcs, a tank, humvees, and some infantry gaurding it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to assure you get the NW, and how to get across the river if theres that much armor gaurding it?

Heh, man i had wulfyn and beatnik as SLs and couldnt win :P

hehe, that was our squad across the river. Now, the thing to note is that is was *only* our squad guarding that area for pretty much the whole game. Had a couple of AT guys decided to concentrate on us we woulda been pretty much hozed. But I think we saw 2, maybe 3 AT folks the whole match.

That match started out wierd. I had my squad spawn in that NW corner flag because I had some of them on defense duty at the US main base in Mastuur the whole previous round ... thus I promised more attack action. However when we spawned we saw that not a *single* MEC troop was across the river.... not even one even though pretty much everyone had already spawned. So we redeployed and got over there barely in time to stop some US from making it across. We ended up defending there the whole game and while the squaddies did a great job, I *did* get razzed a good bit for not getting them into attack action like I promised.
