Once Mazi was secured, Task Force Kanium received Headquarters personnel to establish FOB ALPHA. Task Force LAV's conducted a contested amphibious assault then quickly regrouped with friendly infantry forces to destroy the enemy between Mazi and Selakano. This part of the operation began with an attack on an enemy communications outpost along the southeast shoreline to disrupt mission command and ended with the seizure and liberstion of Selakano (city).ĭuring this operation, light infantry forces from Task Force Kanium conducted an air insertion that allowed them to quickly seize a communications outpost in the south (1) while Light Armored Vehicles initiated an amphibious assault towards Green 1 Beach.ĭuring their foot march towards Green 1, dismounted forces made significant contact with elements from an enemy infantry Company, reinforced with light armor in vicinity of Mazi (2). Task Force Kanium launched their initial entry operation to seize a foothold on southeastern Altis. I should have used the A1.Ĭommand view: by this time my dismounts are leading because there is too much cover and concealment for enemy RPGs.Īfter a couple of minor shootouts, the bridge was clear.Operation Blue Skull - The Liberation of Altis The thermal sights quality was far too good for an 80's scenario: it turns out that I did set up the scenario with an A2 variant. Then, to carefully take care of the enemy infantry. Easy prey for my AP rounds from the autocannon. The Milan ATGM I fired at it was just to be completely sure. Proof of the demise of that enemy T-55 came from the fact that the tank didn't blew my Marder into oblivion while we maneuvered into position. The Leopard has already fired two shells but its main gun went silent after that. One BMP-1, center, and one T-55, top right. Instead of hull down trickery, I relied on my feet: I dismounted and went forward to see what was up at that bridge. Hell, I need that cannon to neutralize the enemy infantry. The tiny turret of the Marder is great for hull down positions, but I feared a lucky shot from the enemy could knock down my cannon. So I did set up a very short mission (capture a bridge held by a mix of motorized/mechanized Soviet infantry) and I entered combat with my infantry and a Leopard tank providing overwatch. Although this vehicle was available in at least one community mod, I never tried commanding one until the DLC update happened.
