Operation GEMINI mission 2
7/13/57
The deployment was the smoothest part of the mission, Foil landed north of the encampment with Ironside and Jazz landing to the East and West of Foil. The light rain gave little cover, but in the open stretches, it was sufficient.
The first shots were fired as soon as the rangers landed. The rain gave just enough cover to keep the field gunners off of us, for now.
The rangers were able to damage a few commonwealth mechs heavily, and after a successful bombing run on one of the field guns, the advance continued as planned.
Foil advance straight south, sweeping for mines, before sweeping down east to assist Ironside. After a complete melee on the east, as well as tremendous bravery from the already damaged units in Foil lance the advance, came to a grinding halt on the eastern side. The West was somewhat less impeded and continued to push further but Jazz quickly found that they were outnumbered, and outgunned, and the western advance was also slowed.
After the advance had been slowed and options seemed to grow thinner the reinforcements arrived. Blitzkrieg made a firing advance, assisting the advance in the east and giving Foil and Ironside enough room to resume the advance. Blitzkrieg then proceeded to the west and helped relieve the pressure on the west as well.
After Blitzkrieg alleviated some of the pressure the rest of the advance went off relatively smoothly. Jazz and Blitzkrieg continued up the east side while finishing off many of the damaged units. Foil and Ironside limped their forces along the west and eliminated the remaining mechs in the area. This final push allowed ranger forces to complete their advance and secure the mission.
(I hope this AAR is sufficient, it's my first one so constructive criticism is welcome)
