Here is my progress for the past few days.
I decide to put my plans about the T80 on the back burner. I keep hearing sporadic weapon fire from somewhere in the distance. I head to La Trinite to see if this is where it is centered.
There is no one alive in La Trinite. There are remnants of two convoys here, apparently one convoy from each side. I trade my AK74 for a bizon, and head back out. I search the mountains west of La Trinite, and around the lodge, but find nothing. At this point I am unsure of exactly where the battle took place
. While I'm at the lodge, I bring the T80 down the mountain and repair it. I then "hide" it with my men. It is getting dark, and the rain has started up again.
I decide to head northwest and recon the airport. I go into the airport, and get shot by a sniper. Retry Instead of going into the base, I decide to observe it at different points along the hill to the west. I run into a bush, and find I'm sharing it with a sniper
. I kill him with my Bizon. I observe the fuel station, and crawl back out. I see another sniper two feet away from me. It seems I was sharing the bush with two snipers, well no more, three shots and he's dead (the bizon doesn't kill a good as other guns). I head back to my men. I stop in Larche to retrieve the fuel truck, and I fill the T80 with fuel. When day comes around again, I intend to use the T80 to destroy the fuel station.
I have decided to check out La Pessagne, so I head back up the mountain and get in the jeep. I drive south to just about Arudy, when suddenly a shell hits my jeep. You are Dead I don't know how, but that T72 gunner hit me in the fog and rain from over 500 meters, and on the first shot! :wow: I'd say he deserves a medal!
Anyway, retry, I decide to head to La Pessagne on foot. I hear a vehicle coming, and hide in a bush. Three tanks go by, the same tanks that killed me earlier. At least 2 of them appear to be damaged in some way, and they are heading north. I'm not sure if they are northern tanks that are retreating, or southern tanks on the offensive. I wait for them to pass, then head back out. I eventually reach La Pessagne. It is empty. I heal myself at the field hospital (I don't know how I got injured), and head south to Stamenov's base. I am going to wait for it to get dark, then I'll try to sneak in and kill him.
As I sneak in, I come across several dead soldiers and a destroyed Vulcan. I crawl into the town, and do a quick recon. Many bodies and destroyed vehicles. I have only seen one living soldier, and he is in the area I expect Stamenov to be. I find one more soldier alive, a black-op. I dispatch the blackop, and kill Stamenov. The objective is completed. Apparently, all that was left of Stamenov's army was him and a guard. I guess the armoured vehicles I destroyed at the lodge were Stamenov's
. I shoot down the orbiting hind, and start back north. I decide to take the abrams back, just so I don't have to walk. About halfway there my men report seeing two tanks and a vulcan. I hop out of the Abrams, and start out on foot. My guess is the tanks are going south to investigate what happened to the hind. My men report the tanks are heading south. I start to hear the tanks, so I duck into a nearby bush. After I hear them pass(I can't see very far in the fog), I start out again. The rain starts up again. I stop at the lodge. I hope to ambush the three tanks when they come back north, if the weather clears in time. :gunman:
