Something New On The Northern Front

LoteZ has jumped the fence due to lack of interest and I couldn't persuade him. I blame myself for this, as the few sessions he's been in have been crap, to be honest. We've sent Stealth after him to beat him with a baseball bat. Please welcome Bonde though, who I will tute in basic tomorrow!

The day started off with battlefield theory with U_U, Quicky, Ices, h3adache and OFP-vet Redkid. Basically what I went through were the weapons, why we use them, how we use them and where they should be in the formation. Simple stuff but the lads were unserious and I had to shout at them and tell them to shape up. I am getting sick of the slackness and unseriousness coming down to the team sometimes, and I've noticed that it often appears whenever Quicky is around... Having a laugh is OK, but not when I'm trying to teach them why we are using the tactics that we use.

After that we headed down to Tyrone and tried to push further south, taking the hospital close to Gravette. I've noticed that the lads have serious spotting problems, as the recon team (Ices and Quicky) I sent down there were caught completely off-guard, while actually doing reconnaisance. What the hell? They were attacked and before the rest of the squad could respond they were dead. A quick offensive against the hospital ended in h3adache getting lost and me getting shot by a came-outta-nowhere Russian. OFP-vet Redkid and players h3adache and U_U falled back to Tyrone and ended the Op. Not a good Op at all.

Stealth joined, as well as OFP-vet Zsinjeh (aka Zsinj). Two rounds of Mass Assault (made by Redkid) ended with victory to my team (me, Ices, Stealth and during the first round; Quicky who crashed during the start of the second round) both times. On the picture, shoot-and-scoot with an AK74.

We booted up the training map one last time, now going through how to respond to contacts in an IFV. They learnt fast and it went well. A planned second attack on the hospital ended with a fierce defence in Tyrone. Redkid, Zsinjeh, U_U and Stealth managed to hold back after I had gotten blown up in the explosion of the Strf90 (IFV), along with gunner Quicky and driver Ices. They were eventually forced to pull back and we yet again lost all territory south of St. Phil and we have no longer got a Strf90.

I'm happy to announce that Stealth is getting better all the time. He's still at the bottom, but he's working his way upwards. Real-life military Zsinjeh even appluaded him when they got paired up during the last session. However, I'm looking serious on this wave of unseriousness and slackness in the crew. If it doesn't get any better, I'm going to take some serious disciplinary action and nobody wants that - including me.
