Indeed. Also getting best squad awards

Last night on .:igi:. UK server. My squad was best squad 3-4 rounds in a row, excellent squad work and a commander who was talking to me and who everyone listened to. Thanks =SRR=GeneralSlippy (i think that was it)

Map: EJOD
Side: MEC
Spawn in as: Medic
Version: 0.5

I can't remember the date, but it's a fight that still is quite fresh in my memory. As any good story, it starts out slow and a bit dull actually. Every squad is full, so I am forced to join in with a soldier I have never seen before. Quickly I establish that he does not have a mike, but on the good side he can hear me. Worse is the fact that there are no cars, tanks or APC's that can give me transport to the west hills where he is located. So I run the entire length to get there.

When I finally got there, well wouldn't you know it, an APC was giving heavy covering fire at anything that moved up on that hill. I got killed. Luckily for me, the SL was a medic and I was back on my feet. Well, it didn't exactly take me long to piece together that we needed to get of that rock and into the city where it's harder for the APC to have hunting season on our butts.

After a hasty retreat north and trying to slide down the hill behind the shed we got killed about 2-3 more times, but always managed to revive each other by clever use of smokegrenades and keeping cool and head'n butt down to the ground. Now this unknown hero decides it is time for me to get a promotion. Congratulations, you are SL!

Ok, first priority: Stay alive
Second priority: Get to Gardens

The americans have successfully taken east city flag and are putting extreme pressure on west city flag. It is only minutes if not seconds before the defence at west city is crushed and defeated, or they route and run away.

Luck would have it, the APC is now paying more attention to what is going on at West city and not the two desperate soldiers trying to stay alive behind the shed. We deploy a smokegrenade and run behind the rock formation. By now the APC have moved forward from the desert and is at the city walls. Americans are spawning in everywhere.

We deploy our very last smokegrenade just as we hear a heavy mechanized vehicle coming closer and closer. It's a tank. Scratch that. We have 2 tanks coming straight towards our position. I throw myself in the ditch outside Gardens and start to say my hail Mary's. Right at that time, from out of nowhere people start to join my squad and spawn in. The first wave of arty comes down. My squad is whiped out. I survive. Both tanks and the APC move in to Gardens.

Up until now I have not fired a single shot. Right now, there are squads after squads rushing straight at me, while I try to hide under the wooden planks in that ditch. Conserving my ammo and desperatly trying not to expose where I am hiding, I fire only when necessary. Luckily one of my SM throws down some ammo so I can rearm and replenish my zappers. Second wave of artillery. Squad is wiped out. I'm still alive. The tank is now right above me, and one american squad has figured out where I am hiding and I can actually see little comic bubbles over their heads going: "Thats got to be the SL!" - "Lets whipe him out!" - "YEAH!".

Well, I can't stay here anymore, thats for sure. I deploy smokegrenades in front of me, and drop one far behind me. When they finally make a smokescreen (that is 5 hairy seconds I tell you) I jump out of the ditch, crouch by the hostile tank, do a quick check of my surroundings. I run to the back of the tank and fire of some shots. I rush next to it and sprint like hell towards my own smoke ahead of it. As luck would have it, I get the response I wanted. The tanks reverses and turns his turrent away from my new direction.

I run around the corner NW of Gardens just to slam into a couple of GI Joes. Luckily, some have spawned in on me when I got to safety (I should say "safety"). They are quickly taken out.

After hiding out in the tanktraps for a short while and a heated discussion of why I don't have an officers kit (if you remember, I haven't died once yet. Been ressurected every time) I make a mad dash for it. Now I am inside the northen wall of Gardens. Situation is as follows: 1 Tank right at the flagzone Gardens. 1 Tank west of Gardens. 1 APC unaccounted for, but last time it was spotted, it was close. The rest of our entire army is behind us.

Standing orders are: 1 cover my six. 1 or 2 of you go engineers/RPG and blow that tank up. Rest deploy smoke. NOW.

Oh well, it was a good idea. Squad whiped out. I'm alive.
Do-over! Squad whiped out. Still alive.
Next time around ... That sweet sweet sound of a tank that goes KA-BOOM!

Now we get an interresting switch in our squad roster. Since 80% of my squad is now of IGI soldiers, they want me to make room for another of their mates. Helix is now nagging me to go SL for their squad. My last order was that everybody drop their ammobags. Refill, rearm, heal up. When all 5 are standing around me, combat ready, I leave the squad.

New squad is formed. My Hx. buddies join in. Another heated discussion of "Why aren't you an SL?" And at the same time, I see Mr.D go as commander. Thank sweet jezabell.

My former squad, now the IGI squad is making such a ruckuss, that I manage to slip out of Gardens, run East and all the way to the now completely undefended East City.

IGI manages to take back Gardens after destroying that tank. My squad manages to take East City. Now my friends, the momentum has changed. No longer are the GI Joes holding all the cards, we are back in the game!

After successfull capture of West city, squad Hx is already in position at ruins. In that area I survive yet another 2 artillery strikes and kill about 15 americans.

The entire team manages to push the US all the way back to their main base. Still stationed at the Gasstation. Surviving yet 3 new artillery strikes, 7-8 new hostiles. I am still up and kicking, and then I got cockey.

The split second I decided not to play it safe anymore and go just a little GUNG-HO without planning or calculating the risk? I get shot right in the head. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't be to miffed. I have survived with 1 life for about 1 hour, 7 arty strikes, 2 tanks and 1 apc. Pluss an entire US force surrounding me. Without an officers kit. At least I can get one now.

The last 5 minutes of the game before we conclude the biggest turnaround in PR history, I get sloppy. End result is 27K:4D. And the americans are still trying to figure out where the hell it all went wrong.

[Hx.Clavdivs]

it is still my proudest moment!

[Warne]

Drove USMC completely off EJOD Desert 331-0.
Won Desert Storm 42-0 as USMC, without taking Canyon. (Civilians were getting knifed more then killed)
Beat Insurgents completely off Raid on Moskiye 62-0.

Winning Desert Storm as USMC without even passing Canyon is a feat i've never seen on any server.

I'm (SPC-4)Warne. If you see me ingame, please join up. I usually either play defense, or setup ninja spawn points for assaults from unconventional directions.

[Hx.Clavdivs]

Yeah, but did you survive as a grounpounder 7 arty's, tanks, 1 APC and a whole entire US team hitting you at once?

Oh, and top this! Without being called a cheat once!

Naw, not my kind of fight. Took USMC's main by driving a squad wayyyy down the western edge of the map, skirting the out of bounds area, and set up a Rally Point on the southwest corner of their base, on the other side of a small hill. Just came up from their southeast corner, chunked smoke and frags, and had every respawning MEC with a rally on their squad joining in the party. Something like a good fifteen MEC vs three or four USMC for their Main.

Shot 'em from behind, took their base, then tracked down their one APC at Ruins that slipped through the forces that were ramming through in a frontal assault from Gas Station. Went 4-3 or so. I let other squads do the cannon fodder work. If I make any kind of 'frontal' assault, it's the sneakiest attack I can come up with.

[Hx.Clavdivs]

Drunk as a skunk.
Just let me repeat: Without SL kit. 7 arty. 2 tanks. 1 APC, The ENTIRE us team on you ass ... and still kicking.

My proudest moment as squad leader was on the map operation ghost train, i was British team btw...so here i am..in my squad and we decide to try and hold the north end of the bridge, none of my buddies failed me, but the waves were getting heavier and heavier so we decided to fall back and regroup, and attack another position which was the "Temple" so i set up our rally point at the top of the hill where hardly anyone can see it...my squad mates tell me to make sure the Flag is safe etc, so i get out my binoculars and scan the area for enemies, so i can the area and report "All Clear, Your Good To Go" so my mates move in while i stay up top because usually when i go in myself i get shot and totally pwned....anyway i finally go to the temple flag to help my team mates and the temple was being swamped by loads of chinese....one of my squad mates didnt even know where there rally point was...but we held the temple flag..for the rest of the game! and won the round too!...then the next round my squad crossed the river and picked off apcs and infantry at south bridge by sniping them ontop of a mountain which has a girder tower thing...i was "Sniper" btw and started spotting targets for Commander and other squads...and also picking off Infantry who are trying to cross the bridge....

also one map where u have ruins,west city, etc....me and my squad managed to hold the enemies armour at bay..because one of my squad mates was in a abrams tank, so we helped him destroy enemy armour...by spotting them out for him, while some of my squad mates took out the infantry, i was soooo proud of that guy in the tank, he was doing an excellent job, we got best squad for that map too...and our team won the battle too!.

I mostly use Voip in my squads etc....and team work too...
