Ok, I decided to play this mission with a difference. I have to say I sure was different! The player's role is an interesting one. When I came across this addon, I had hoped there would be a mission for it, now there is.
I got an error message on start up, it appears I'm missing cbt-crew. I think this is an addon error, and has nothing to do with the mission.
Intro:
Couldn't see it, as the error caused the mission to skip the intro.
Briefing:
Good enough for me. I'm not too picky with briefings.
Mission:
We started out, and I soon realized that this addon is difficult to use. It was difficult aiming the machine gun, especially with the turret moving around. We clear the first objective, and move past the observation post. We don't stop to clear it, and leave a few men alive. We attack Lamentin. All goes to hell very quick. Tank fire erupts, and a fierce firefight ensues. In the end, every other Abrams but mine was destroyed, and all the Soviet tanks were destroyed or disabled. At the end of the fight, I got this error message:
script: erase.sqs not found
It didn't seem to effect gameplay, so I continued. I soon found myself the commander of the tank, and my squad leader, I think, was the driver (don't ask me how that happened)
. There was no gunner, so it was tedious trying to destroy the counter-attack with the main gun in a fixed position. I finally accomplished this, however, and the mission ended.

Comments:
Everything but the erase.sqs script seemed to work. I wasn't able to view the intro, so you will have to wait for someone else to comment on that. The mission was fine, but the awkward handling of the M1 machine gun was frustrating at times. This, however, is not your fault.
The mission name is a little long, it does not fit on my missions list, nor does it fit in the briefing. You may want to shorten it.
I really liked the idea of the player being the machine gunner! :thumbsup:
