Team "Skins" - Squad 3

1. Pfeil2281 - Squad Leader
2. DaBrit
3. Daithi1
4. FYAH29
5. Jakaleel
6. Nuckj

Our squad had a nice mix of members from three in-house squads, the Irregulars, 9th MID and 21st TCIU. I had the privilege of leading the group, Jakaleel served as our Support, FYAH29 was tasked with Engineer, while DaBrit, daithi1 (“BigD“) and nuckj rounded out the squad as Assaults. Our task for both rounds was to help in the assault of the Power Generator flag and deal with the enemy’s Battlewalker.

Round 1

I held on for dear life in the back of the FAV, as all three Squad Leaders rushed to Power Generator. About 50 meters short of the flag, I hopped out and had my squad spawn on me. Everyone immediately fanned out and helped capture the Control Point. Once the PAC flag flew uncontested, we set out eyes on the EU Battlewalker. Our Commander was on top of things, however, and quickly took it down with an EMP strike and orbital.

We dug in behind the flag and setup a makeshift defense to support our comrades closer to Junkyard. Everyone kept vigilant with their spots and we were able to help thwart an eastern push on the flag. Shortly after, we noticed several enemy troops trying to cross the catwalk above the barge between Junkyard and Eastern Dock, so we swung north and closed the massive group in a crossfire.

Suddenly, we received orders to push out and attack Junkyard. I had everyone rally on me and we headed toward the flag, only to walk into a fresh enemy Battlewalker. Needless to say, we regrouped after the slaughter and flanked in another direction. We made some headway toward the flag, but resistance was a bit too strong to make any real push to capture the Control Point.

Our Commander shifted us back to Eastern Dock and we helped thwart a concentrated effort by our enemy to recapture the flag for the remainder of the round.

Round 2

Our initial task went a bit too well, as we captured Power Generator without any resistance. It seemed our enemy decided to attack Junkyard off the bat, so squads were shifted quickly and we were left to defend the flag by ourselves. Things grew very quiet in our area and I think more than a few of us thought we might see no action for the round.

Boy, was I every wrong. Our Commander ordered us back to Junkyard to help recapture the Control Point. After that, we returned to Power Generator. As soon as we helped there, it was over to Eastern Dock. Without a delay, onward to Junkyard. Basically, we served as both a complimentary and distraction force for the remainder of the round.

Everyone in my squad did a great job of reacting to each new order and I applaud them for keeping up with my constant direction and redirection. We got caught in a few crossfires that virtually wiped us out and ran smack dab into another Battlewalker, but each member kept their cool and did their job as best they could in each new situation. For a group that does not play together on a regular basis, I was delighted with our performance and had a great time leading the squad.
