Gibsonm Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Well the first night with 3.002 brought a prestigious crowd. Duke (911) and Zipuli joined six "locals" The first scenario we played was Zipuli's "Jaala Rescue Operation" Mentioned here: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?p=243708#post243708 This was hosted locally (with Zipuli and Duke on the far end of the connection) This is a complex environment with some five "sides" (Friendly ground forces, Enemy ground forces, Civilians, Convoy survivors and Heliborne extraction force) The Finns have to secure an LZ near the survivors of a shot up convoy and hold it while the helos arrive to take the survivors away. Some "limitations": Civilians remain on the map moving around and are not to be engaged. Map updates for Red were off so people needed to provide grids to the enemy. Lastly only the FO could call for fire through observation (no plotting missions from the map). Zipuli was running FRAPS so depending on how much lag he had, he may make a video out of it. Teaching Points: 1. The more sides, the longer it takes to load. One or two people thought they had "crashed" but just needed patience. 2. Dismounted mortars work better when they get out of their truck. Lots of positive comment on the new graphics. AAR here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19518131/Jaala%20Rescue%20Operation_092613GIBSON-SERVE1950.zip The second scenario we played was Eisenschwein's "Carpe Diem1989_1_200913_englisch" using his magnificent Hünfeld map. This was hosted on the PzBtl 911 server (with "us" on the far end of the connection) This is an advance to contact by the FRG vanguard trying secure some reserve demolitions before the Soviets can seize the crossings. Teaching Points: 1. Don't look at the beautiful sunrise because your driver will crash into the safety barrier and kill himself. AAR here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19518131/Carpe%20Diem1989_1_200913_englisch_092613GIBSON-SERVE2154.zip We bid our visitors farewell and then re launched Ziplui's mission to test the pause / rejoin process to replicate a person being left behind. Again patience needed with a multi sided scenario but it worked fine. So now next week is "Training Night" and I guess we will be looking at some more 3.002 specific items. Hope you can make it!

Panzer_Leader Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 A Reuters combat cameraman embedded with the CV9030FI platoon BRAVO ONE also took a couple of photos during the action which he has said he will upload when he establishes his satellite broadband connection from the LZ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 It better not be the young woman that call sign spent most of the mission "observing" instead of doing its job. Right up there with the mortar crews sleeping in the back of the truck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to having you join us for more virtual tanking in future! If this keeps up we may need to replace the M113AS4 as our APC of choice with the NZLAV :sonic:Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Leader Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The Reuters cameraman embedded with our combat team has established a satellite uplink from the LZ and submitted these photos taken during the action to his bureau chief for syndication: 1. A damaged callsign Bravo One defends the LZ while buildings in Jaala burn 2. Callsign Viper's NH90s flare behind Bravo Three on final approach to the LZ Expect publication of these images in all major online and print news publications overnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hey! Where's this pic of the young woman the guys were maintaining a "Situational Awareness" watch on? :biggrin: C'mon man, get with the program!! Gib, hope it wasn't a significant dinner you missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was the boys in my section staying on top of the female civilians. The Reuters hack was embedded with our platoon commander's section where there was a bit more shooting going on and less time to dedicate to "Civil Affairs"... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Gib, hope it wasn't a significant dinner you missed. Didn't miss it, but wasn't quite dressed like everyone else. I note my Kiwi friend thought it was "sweet" (i.e. good) that I might be standing my wife up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you should keep a set of your "Dress 1s" (?) in your locker at work. Nothing like arriving with a bit of panache/flair 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
