Second Liutenant Shrecky
reporting!
Operation Springer Mantis was an strong success in
my opinion, my unit wiped out over 200 enemy soldiers including 2
Flak Panzers, 1 Nebelwerfer and 4 Opel Blitz trucks.From this battle
we gained the Medal of Honor and Manouvre Ribbon.
The
squad began mediocre, not high rifle's but good morale, we advanced
receiving no hard resistance, bought a Scout and a Spec Ops as
available, kept on moving.Wave 45, I decided, after advancing over 10
screens, that we needed to take base, 2 more screens and bought an
engy and an officer. In the 2nd intel picture we can see my defence
at its prime, from there things only got worst...
Wave 54:We've
been forced to leave our forward trench after the Flak Panzer
eradicated the sand bags, an officer and a medic.
Five waves later
I saw that we were doomed, the lack anti-tank weaponry, well the fact
that it gets wiped out, was overwhelming, we just couldn't hold out
for longer, I ordered a tactical fallback at wave 63... Death truly drives
Diesel.
KIA:1 mortar
3 regulars
2 Spec Ops
3 medics, 1 from a supply drop
1 officer
1 bazooka
1 scout






________________________________________________
Deployment 2: We took out multiple officers and Opel Blitz Trucks, but we failed at our primary objective, reaching wave 100.

Starting with an officer and not likeing the terrain we moved a few clicks north , on the 2. map we lost a good man. When we got the open area we we're looking for, i sent the officer and 2 troops with SG's on the topside, with the remaining man giving support fire.
Raked up enough TP's for a jeep, sat it in the right corner with the coverfire troop behind it. The upper team took out most of the Jerrys and my jeep took care of the rest.
Upgraded the coverfire troop with a BAR and when one of my SG troops died, bought a sniper.

A few waves later the other SG troop was down, so another jeep was in order, placed the sniper and the jeep same way as the other one but on the left corner.
In this manor we continued, using heroism and ranger training on the troops and calling out a mortar.
Our highlights for the next segment were a TIP from the Colonel's HQ saying:If you can't remember, the Claymore is pointed at you.
At wave 70, things started to get edgy. We faced a Para Blitz, the beginning of the end, They took out almost every one of my troops except the Sniper Leblanc and my left jeep.

In the picture above we see a flak Panzer, the remaining jeep is empty, so the only troop remaining is S.Leblanc, shortly after this another setback, a Special weapons blitz and a few dozen panzergrenadier troops half way down the map. Retreating was no option, so relying on my sniper we pushed forth until we got taken down.
KIA: 4 jeep crews, 1 Jeep demolished, 1 crew replacement
1 Sniper, 4 regulars, a mortar, an officer and 2 Spec Ops.
Mission succeeded better then the first one except we still haven't break the 100 mark.
Notice of outstanding loyalty and effort to the country,Sniper S.Leblanc
