This is the third mission played this AM, it's a little more combined arms/Armor based then the other two.

Mission:
Go behind enemy lines to an airport, and destroy to HIND's at that location.

Mission brief:


My gear:



There is an M1A1 and 2 M3 Bradley's for the taking. I am the gunner of the M1A1 Abrams, with my driver/tank commander... Gordon.

We move out and within minutes we run into a couple of enemy armor units, supported by infantry... we begin the battle:









Infantry units on the hill top:






After clearing the outpost of the enemy tanks, and infantry support we move on to the airport and hull down for engagement on more enemy tanks:




We're completely out of MBT rounds (Sabots and Heat) So we fall back to the other Bradley still unused:


And now we engage via the Bradley Fighting Vehicle:





I can't quite reach the target due to the low angle, so the TC exits and engages with a Javelin, not realistic, but fun, lol:




More targets are destroyed, but our Bradley takes a mean hit and is destroyed, we exit and move towards the battle again:




One of our fine soldiers, sneaks into the airport base and steals a Hind, again not realistic but fun:


He decides to come to us and pick us up, I join in as the gunner:





My gunner cockpit:



we see some enemy infantry out in the open, I let loose with the 30mm cannon:



Hit, and they go flying through the air from the force of the rounds exploding on there bodies:




Then a little rocket action:



We destroy the remaining choppers, the mission is complete but we need to wait for an evac, 2 minutes out:




Well as luck would have it, while waiting for the evac enemy armor units attempt to retake the airport, we go high to the roof tops in a hope to hold them off:



I fire my AT4 at one of the BMP's but the tail end of the helicopter gets in the way and takes the blunt of the hit:


I don't know what happened... a few infantry with depleted Javelin launchers and AT4's against an armor force is not a good thing, I die and shortly after the rest do, the mission ends, we met the objective, but just couldn't hold off the final re-assault... hey three missions, 2 good, we end with a bad... 2-1-0 not bad.
