Commendations
Torpex placed defences for our use, kept topping them up, and mined the shit out of the reeds which later helped to take down multiple enemy squads and vehicles.
Excellent deployment of fortifications providing all round cover as well as good deployment of triggered munitions on main enemy approach contributed greatly to successful defense of objective.
SM Torpex constructed a solid set of defences for the village of Cam Binh, including making revisions under fire when it became apparent that additional protections would be needed in certain directions. She additionally used her sachel charges and mines to great effect, on several occasions crawling far outside the defensive works to place explosives on anticipated enemy axes of advance. I believe she destroyed an enemy BTR APC at close assault range with a thermite grenade, saving the lives of several squad members.
Repeated accurate grenade fire assisted massively in suppressing, breaking up and neutralizing many enemy attacks.
Volcano maintained sustained and accurate fire with his M203 grenade launcher, supressing and destroying enemy infantry concentration, as well as marking targets for airstrikes in a manner which facilitated rapid and accurate delivery of ordnance onto enemy positions.
We may not have had on-call artillery this event, but Magpipe more than made up for it with her Carl Gustav, providing sustained accurate direct fire into concentrations of infantry, as well as engaging armoured vehicles and boats. Without her long range HE fire life would have been much harder for Endgame Red.
Like an absolute nutjob, Novel ran into the face of enemy fire, across the river to prevent one of the North Cheltnamese defectors from running into danger, capturing the man no more than 30ft from sustained enemy fire, then returned with him to stop the enemy laying their hands on him.
Upon noticing key allied personnel had become trapped on enemy-held river bank, checked with me to secure necessary equipment and gained permission to retrieve them. Secured them and evacuated under enemy fire before enemy reached allied position, and returned personnel safely despite original route becoming non-viable.
