Operation Deserted Zeitgeist

We ‘landed’ in a very narrow valley and legged it from the helo before physics decided to catch up with it. There was then a climb out of said stupidly steep valley and just as we got to the top to take a break the overachievers in Yellow squad spotted a hostile base. Thankfully Top decided to let us catch our breath and called in arty, or the airforce, I forget which [actually, it was on time and on target, so it was probably Arty].
With that dealt with, Yellow went to pick over the remains while Blue proceeded to clear the road to our next objective. And Red did too, mustn’t forget Red. Upon arrival at the village Blue got to have a lie-down on the rocks above while Yellow went in to clear, but then Yellow got shot a lot so Blue moved in to save the day.
Lots more shooting occurred, but in the end the good guys [us] won, and we resupplied before moving off to try and set up an ambush for a suspected CheltCong supply convoy. Spud did some A+ digging while Girder and Kiwi (and Bandit?) layed a load of mines and shit down by the road. It was a good plan, and a good spot, but the Chelt were dastardly and spotted it before they reached the explosives. Our flanking ambush got ambushed from the flank. Bandit set off one of Kiwi’s mines despite being warmed. Blitz almost did too, but he hadn’t been warned prior and retreated to safety when a warning was called. Eventually we splatted the whole convoy, then legged it sharpish to clear the area before their backup arrived.
Apparently I got a medal for it, but I’d’ve preferred a leave pass: does anyone want to swap?

Inserted by heli in two and a bit teams. Advanced on foot to village of Bru. On the way found a Chelt OP and wrecked their shit with arty. Then shot a patrol up for good measure. Got to bru and had a NaSTY gunfight with the local chelt enforcers. Got intel on a redfor msr nearby, resupplied by heli and took a walk into the hills. Found ourselves thinking that this would be a great place for an ambush so set one up. Ambush triggered early by beady eyed chelt, at which point we had a gunfight with what felt like half of the west country. Some time and hurt feelings later, we called it a day and exfilled to helis whilst taking harassing fire from chelt recon response.
Spud went bucket and spade happy and built many sandcastles/defensive trenches. Chelt rudely went round the side. So did kent. The med stations worked well.
Turns out it was not the greatest place for an ambush.
Someone stole the end off my gun.
