A hero, who kept coming to get us, shot the bad guys, got the girl, found a cure for cancer, then swanned back into the fray with a cigar. Particularly on the defence of the cave system holding up the right hand side with Torrent and Target.

Grym provided excellent leadership from the front during the assault on an enemy tunnel network. He made great use of his short fire team to push the enemy while avoiding over extension, and took great care to keep morale up during a challenging operation.

Target was instrumental in saving the lives of a number of Endgame Red during a heavy assault while defending a position awaiting extraction. Without his timely support to troops under fire the position would have been overrun. Pvt Target was able to hold the line while taking fire to allow medics to save squad members and to give friendly forces time to rally and re-join the fire fight.

Counter attacked the cave system that sheltered a downed pilot as most of the team were heavily engaged outside. This allowed the recovery of Snuffy and the downed pilot prior to EI eliminating them before the rest of the squad were able to respond.

During tunnel clearance Torrent counter charged an ambushed, into the fire of multiple EI Torrent charged, killing many and stalling the ambush allowing the rest of his squad to consolidate and overturn the ambush. Torrent, heavily wounded was rescued amidst a pile of enemy dead. This allowed the continued clearance of the tunnel complex and allowed the team to complete their clearance without the need to break contact and resupply at all until the operation was completed.
