Situation

Following the Russian airbourne incursion and assault on the Farm, the Combat Hounds withdrew to their safehouse, a petrol station disused after an FLF attack. From here they seek to regroup and plan their next move. Obviously the CHADS are not equipped to fight a full on ground war so it is time to leave. However, getting out of the area may prove to be tricky. We have maybe had one stroke of luck. The Finnish government minister Codename Sunray was in the area when the Russians landed, he too has retreated to a safe position. Finnish authorities have agreed to extract the remaining Combat Hounds from the area but only if the Combats Hounds deliver Sunray to the extraction site safely.

The Tale of Bravo as told by team leader ansin11

A comedy in five acts

 

During the final hours of the CHADS' deployment to Hell, the legendary Bravo team was comprised of five experienced operators: @Assault, @Miksi, @Schubz, @Toasted_Bread_Slice and @ansin11.

The story begins after Bravo, shining in a last moment of undimmed glory, leads the CHADS convoy to the first staging point (after the previous lead vehicle, manned by Alpha, stayed back to heroically face the enemy).

 

Act 1: Bravo attempts to complete the first objective

The first objective assigned to Bravo is simple: Get to a road just north of Sunray's location and provide security for the rendezvous with him. Bravo dismounts 200 meters away and moves in on foot.
Cresting a hill not ten meters from the road, team leader ansin11 makes a mistake that triggers a series of unfortunate events: He spots one or two Russians walking down the road towards him and his team, but he fails to obtain more information on the enemy force as he hastily retreats behind the hill in an attempt to hide. But in vain - as Bravo realizes far too late, the enemy has seen them and moves in to engage. Only Miksi survives.

 

Act 2: Bravo attempts to reach the first waypoint

Four members of Bravo are reinserted by Vortex. The LZ at the Staging Point is lukewarm (Toast dies), but the survivors manage to disengage and link up with Miksi at their GAZ-233014 MRAP. New orders come in: Bravo is to secure the first waypoint on the bumpy road to extraction, ahead of the main convoy. Sadly, Bravo never achieves this. Seconds after regrouping with freshly reinserted Toast, Bravo's MRAP loses both rear wheels to enemy fire. Toast loses connection.

 

Act 3: Bravo attempts to get airlifted

The Bravo team abandones the immobile vehicle and retreats to the tiny settlement of Kangas. Platoon commander @kman dispatches Vortex to airlift the team, but the MH-6M comes under fire and has to land hastily. The main rotor collides with a compound wall and is lost. Fortunately, after the crew has conducted emergency repairs (twice), the Little Bird is able to take off with Bravo on board.

But the joy of flight is short-lived, as the aircraft's engine and rear rotor are taken out by autocannon fire three swift kilometers later. Pilot @Norris expertly carries out an emergency landing in a field northeast of Troihari, but the moment of relief is brief (somewhere in the region of around five seconds), as two Russian MRAPs are on the road just 200 meters to the northwest. When PC arrives on the scene just seconds later, Vortex are the only survivors.

 

Act 4: Bravo attempts to reinsert

Back at the safehouse, Bravo is temporarily reunited with Toast, but he soon takes off on a bicycle. The rest of the team is joined by Charlie member @FrOzT, and after acquiring another GAZ they embark on the long journey towards extraction.
In a completely unprecedented display of tactical driving skill, Assault safely navigates the MRAP through what is referred to by professionals as a non-permissive environment, masterfully breaching a roadblock (as seen in Attachment 1) and taking several patrols head-on. The enemy, unable to counter this remarkable feat, is forced to resort to shooting Bravo in the back with an AA turret (as seen in Attachment 2). Only ansin11 survives.

 

Act 5: Bravo attempts to exfiltrate

At the safehouse again, Toast rejoins the returning three Bravo members, and together with Frozt, they begin their second attempt to reach the extraction point. Meanwhile, retaining only a fraction of the normal amount of blood in his body, ansin11 demonstrates basic SERE capabilities and narrowly evades being captured or killed by enemy forces.

After a while (and one hell of a ride), the others manage to pick up the team leader and the MRAP heads towards the extraction point - which is, unbeknownst to the six heroes, occupied by friendly forces.

Just as Bravo prepares to engage the units at the extraction point, the mission ends.

 

And thus, thanks to Bravo's essential contribution to the operation, the other CHADS elements were able to successfully complete the mission - and they lived happily ever after.

@ansin11 Arma happens.

 

TBH that airlift from Vortex was a Hail Mary. Considering enemy numbers and presence of Gunships and later Migs, I feel Vortex should not have been part of this mission in the first place.

You do not want to fly fragile helli in territory controlled by professional army, that has air superiority to boot. Unlike for example Altis, this map is much smaller and almost totaly flat as well.

 

Looking at FrOzt's videos, you were also driving on the roads.

On map, I have intentionally marked both ingress and egress paths and waypoints away from roads, particularly giving larger settlements and major crossroads as wide berth as I could.

As @MidnightRunner stated in briefing, that is where VDV would most likely have permanent presence.

It was somewhat cheating of course, since not even terrain vehicles would be able to pass throu real wild forest areas.

 

Otherwise it was just bad luck for Bravo . Alpha and Charlie - while sustaining some casualties - never got wiped which was very lucky.
