Pretty good games tonight.

I started opposite the 1st on Muttrah. All was falling to hell in a handbasket when I spawned in and no one in my squad was communicating or issuing orders... I jumped into the commanders chair and gave it a whirl. It was fun, at first. Squads were actually following orders and staying on defense. My plan was to take one flag at a time starting at Market, and push the enemy from E to W off the map. That lasted for about 10 minutes. Squads acted and it seemed the momentum was on our side (MEC) but alas the USMC pushed hard and took all the flags, nearly killing us all. It looked like the game was just about over because we had only one or two guys left. I switched to USMC to squad up on the next round and that's when MEC staged an impressive come back... I had to wonder how much this had to do with me VACATING the command spot...ahh...welll...it was fun anyway and I apologized for my noob command skills. Nobody else stepped up....the round was very closely fought and MEC staged a nice comeback but as I recall it just wasnt enough.

Muttrah was followed by a couple of maps that USMC so thoroughly dominated it made the game somewhat un fun. We switched to the other side for the final map of the night Xianjing Security Area (??). That was a great map with a 9 point spread at the end. The 1st MIP squad operated smoothly and efficiently. I was on Bravo all night and, especially on the last map, the mutual support was great. 3 or 4 times I recall myself or another member of Bravo getting taken out, only to be avenged by the other members of the Fire Team seconds later...and getting revived...great inter team dependability tonight.
