Stamenov's defeated army
The Chapoi takedown commenced at 6:45 am, with Stamenov already dead his forces seemed in disary around Chapoi. The patrol's would go out for about 20 minutes and when they returned it seemed everyone regrouped in the center of Chapoi. Maybe the poor 2nd LT they put in charge decided that everyone needed a pep talk every 20 or so.
Which was a tactical error on his part. With my team set up in the shrubs to the east looking down on them, and I to the north in snipe posistion and a LAW we decided when they where in a tight group we would attack. I creeped to the north sandbags, near the road going into the base, laid my satchel charge for a "surprise". Loaded a LAW and "cough-cough, aimed at a BMP". Hmmmm, it went wide left and right into the large group pow-wowing. Huge explosion and enemy scattering in hopes of finding cover. But it was to late. My team opened up and in a instant we went from 20+ troops to maybe 7. With that I moved east, drawing two nasty's behind me. Mistake on their part, at the perfect moment the sacthel was ignited and the two didn't know what hit them. A few more brave soles, or maybe stupid, headed east but where cut down by my 60' gunner who is racking up some kills. With that, a voice message. Stamenov's army is defeated and running. No matter, I witnessed one nasty still running without his arms up so he took a round in the head. Then the remaining two raised there arms in defeat.
Called in my forces, cleaned house. 2 Abrams, a Vulcan, Bradley, a T-80, BMP, two .50 cal jeeps, four command jeeps and two sets of refuel/rearm/repair vehicles. With my first squad primed up I sent them to Dourdan to reoccupy and prepare for a push north. My civilians where called up and finally showed to run the non-combat equipment up. I took the last command jeep and scouted for the column moving north. Two trips for all this gear but it was worth it.
No longer a pathetic group of resistance fighters, we are now armed to the teeth and ready for anything. With the skies cleared and most of the armor on the island likely damaged from battle our team has the iniative.
It's now 8:30am (day2) in Dourdan, good defensive posistions setup, going to scout with the jeeps west to make sure our flank is clear. Then push north by northwest and have some fun. No hiding in the bushes any longer for this team.
Zero lag for me threw this, nothing wierd, no bugs I can see(but I don't look hard) the woman that would run back and forth north of Chapoi is missing. Hmmm, wonder what happened to her. Maybe send a team south to re-inspect. The messages and actions for this battle where awesome, loved watching them give up.
One question, with all this playing I have alot of waiting, Which I thought of this question, where did the inspiration come for this mission/storyline? A book, author, historic event, or your own imagination/thoughts?
