Screenshots and After-Action Reports

Oh we're off on a secret mission. We've got us a secret plan. We're going to go and slay a Cambridgeite listening post in temple ruins to the west of the village of Bien Long.

Seconded to SOG after the event of Operation Soothing marsh, Endgame Red were inserted by helicopter well behind enemy lines, and indeed, well behind the Cheltnam-Cambridge border. An early morning yomp uphill to the target led to the discorvery of a hostile supply bunker. A short but brutal firefight ensued, but the supplies were captured and the defenders neutralised before they could pass word of the marine's present to their colleagues upslope. A further contact occured when the squad encountered a hostile patrol and vehicle holding a high point, but tenacity and hardwork won through and soon the marines were in a position to advance on the temple complex that held the communications base they'd been sent to destroy.

With light fading the push was made on the temple ruins, with half fallen walls and cave-like areas making the fight long and hard. The medics were hard pushed to keep enough marines up and fighting, with numerous small assaults even after tha main defenders had been emlinated. Once the radio equipment was located and destroyed the marines moved off to clear the village of Bien Long itself, finding another stash of enemy supplies in a hut there.

The exfil south to the village of Quy Loc is intersperced with paratroopers being dropped in Endgame Red's path, and exploratory fire from the villages of Cao Dec and Ben Cai. Cambridge forces used artillery fire anytime they got an eye on the squad's position, but the marines kept moving and ignored efforts to trick them into revealing their positions. Pushing through to Quy Loc a final hostile blocking force was destroyed, before the marines loaded up into the boats that had been stashed there for them, and exfilled east along the river, pursued by helicopter gunships.
