Mission: Ambush 

Start off:

Well, a long start was experienced for this mission due to getting people back on deck (been gone awhile) with the mods. Poor old [OCB]Lyndiman copped a midnight start time due to his time zone, which saw us start about 930pm. Please, those who decide to return to ARMA after long absences, get up to speed before the "go" time on tac night, its really the wrong time to do it, it ruins everybody else's night waiting. After we got there, thanks to our patient and helpful members, we stepped off following the usual mission brief.

Crux:

The night's work was to be "Ambush". After a successful campaign leading us to a cordon of the enemy final position, we had to deal with marauding insurgents closer to home. Recent examples of the enemy working their way through the Naygul valley close to Nagara hamlet, gave us reason to lay an ambush on their so-called safe route. 2x CZ squads and a fire support team moved into position around the town and waited with a few MON-50's for max effect. When the ambush was sprung, I reckon that a whole platoon of insurgents had walked into the killing ground, that were
promptly liquidated in about 5 seconds flat. Nice to watch criss-crossing tracer and double MON-50's wipe the floor.

Following the ambush, a pursuit of the insurgents was called upon right up the valley for a distance of approximately 2km. The badguy's were on the backfoot pretty much the whole way up, until a elevated SPG-9 scored a direct hit with a HE-frag round in and amongst the bravo team, 3 KIA strait up. Final clearance of the valley was effected by the Alpha team, only to find intel showing a planned attack on our airbase that night.

RTB to Rasman was promptly made via (cz)Mi-17 Hip. We fanned out in Rasman proper, just in time to thwart a large incursion into the population centre. The enemy had mustered what seemed to be a company strength of light infantry,mortars, technicals and heavy MG/SPG-9.    

Wrap-up:

The attack was put down by holding our key terrain, counter-penetration patrols, and sector searching. At a glance, a small portion of our logistics was only spent while the insurgents have really shot their bolt in Takistan. Our next intent is to bypass the Loy Manara Aibase complex, move into Clafgan province and continue our efforts to regain our lost UAV.

The war continues.

Congratulations Emery!

SITUATION

EN: Takistani forces are now effectively contained in and around the Loy Manara Airbase region. Current ORBAT of TK army is assumed as light infantry with no real mobility to speak of. Most recent contact with the enemy has shown their willingness to withdraw or break contact, even if friendly forces are numerically inferior.

FR: US and CZ forces are positioned in a cordon of Loy Manara and satellite patrols are taking place to gauge enemy strengths/dispositions. Current logistics situation is stabilised but remains critical. Our intent is not to conduct any major operations that would result in equipment casulties, rather, cutoff resupply and logistics of TK forces until they cannot sustain their hold over the southern airbase.

CIV: Recent hostilities with the civilian population has proved their loyalties to insurgent forces. It is assessed that an average of over 50% of civilians are engaged in hostile activities or supporting the insurgents by passive means.

resistance-rat informed the community on the BI forums about a new video showing some new in-game footage as well as some material from the Stratis showcase.
The video was made by Game Page who sat down with Ivan Buchta.
Thanks to DJJames92 who took out only the Arma 3 part of the video game presentation and uploaded it to youtube.

In the video you can see some lovely new civilians, some underwater action with the minisub which should be interesting for those wondering about the underwater aspect of the game. Also a nice flight over the newly announced island Stratis and a quick view at some new and improved animations.

Note: Video is not in English.
