4 Section AAR

Section 4's Night
As the OIC of Section 4 for 3 hours; from 6:30pm to 9:30pm, I had a ball. I hope my section enjoyed it as much as I did! We had great guys with us, Transcul, Salador, Troop76, Jools, ErnieDig, LFA, FJ, Simpson and Downu (sry if I missed anyone).

At kickoff we were assigned "Eindhoven Harrassment." So that's what we did Mandril (simpson) got the MSP for the moling op while the rest of us took to an FB and blew the snot out of it, hehehehe. When the MSP was setup NE of town, we formed in a group of 8 and started moving towards town, using the leapfrog movements, and covering each other well. Moving in to the depots an Opel and EI were spotted, and reported on the map. We formed up for a depot rush, and LFA was assigned Opel crusher. Once we had secured the Eersel depot and the surrounding buildings, capping begun and everyone covered. Once capped, the other depots fell like flies through great communication and teamwork by Section 4. We continued the assault on Eindhoven for at least half an hour, and then we were called into St. Truiden.

Spawning off the MSP Section 4 grouped up, and formed two smaller sections, Charlie (lead by me) and Delta (lead by Trans). We moved towards town, Delta to the right of Charlie, clearing anything (which there was actually nothing, lol) along the way. Our first OBJ was to secure and capture the Western Spawnable (Tienen Depot). We moved in as a group, supported by excellent armoured movements all the way in, and we were easily able to suppress the depot, and then when tables came up to capture it. Following the capture of the Tienen Depot, Delta were assigned CP Guard, and Charlie moved out. However, as Charlie Group moved out, infantry support for the depot guard arrived, and Section 4 joined up for the north depot assault. As Salador said, it was a great manovoure on that depot. Without me saying more than "move to cover depot now" we had guys in, around and covering the CP Flag building really well. After the capture of the Northern depot we moved to the Waremme FB, which was very textbook stuff of spawning on a MSP, driving to LOC and sapping FB when it came up.

Following the capture of St. Truiden, Section 4 was assigned to guard Hannut FB, Secure the FUP and setup and MSP. We sent two MSP's into town, one headed SW as a backup, and the main headed with a group of infantry to the FUP, while Trans, Downu, LFA and ErnieDig guarded the FB. The MSP was setup behind the armour after the inf had secured the FUP. Shortly after the MSP was setup, however, a 4G blew it to shreds, so we deployed the backup and brought a new MSP in. Meanwhile the inf had been pushing into town, I was killed 50m East of town, and seeing it was 9:30pm with exams today (Monday) I thought it best to log off and leave the Section in Transcul and Sals capable hands.

Personally I thought that using the one mission was a great idea for the night, as Infantry could be placed (basically) where you wanted them, and could be guided into town supporting and being supported by the organised Armour groups. It made things, IMHO much easier to co-ordinate and kept our deaths at a low because of that support. The night went really well too I think. Everything and everyone got on well and did their tasks as asked.

On behalf of myself and section 4, thankyou to Cavalier, all the other section leaders, and each and every person who showed up for this night of great fun, numbers and some serious pwnage!!!
