Report | |
The gladiators were tasked with the seizure of an airfield and an offensive on the bug flank. The Gladiators flew as close as possible on a sky hook and began their march towards the air field. An attempt to cross a bridge failed when they encountered the main force of bugs and were forced to pull back. Blowing the bridge in the process. The Gladiators were forced to take the long way around, Roberts utilized his M55 expertly and ultimately ran out of ammo, 40mms are an effective tactic against bug holes. Would recommend in the future to save HEAT ammo. The gladiators crossed a second bridge and eliminated two plasma batteries. Then they pushed to the airfield and took control. Private Ben Aitkenson, with no regard to his own saftey, rushed forwards to climb an MG tower and lay waste to the bugs. Covering the entire platoon as they rushed into the air field. Bugs hot on their heels. Giving the platoon the brief respite that they needed to get entrenched. Supplies and reinforcements were called in.
The second phase of the operation begins. Though interrupted by new plasma batteries on top of a mountain. A mobile Infantry platoon - Callsign Iron Wheel - was pushed back off the mountain and taking heavy casualties. Gladiators pushed in with two IFVs and an MBT. They pushed up the mountain under heavy bug assaults. Literally and metaphorically fighting an uphill battle. Total plasma battery kill count on the mountain is six. Once the plasma was cleared, Gladiators came under heavy assault and was saved by Dagger-1 Hiroo Onadas Aviation's wing. The Gladiators pushed back down the path and relieved the air field once again from a counter offensive from the bugs. They held and Private Cortell was critically wounded. However, the bugs retreated and the airfield was secured. Mission Success. |
