I was the platoon leader of the Herman 2'nd platoon. I had 34 Norwegians and 8 spanish people in my command.
My Platoon was operative 24/7. I felt we had a major lack of information and orders. The radio that we was promised, did never show up. It is impossible for the highest command to navigate your companies and troops when you are not able to communicate with them...
Also, my Company leaders was only operative 12hours a day. And the only way to communicate with them was to look them up in person.
As a platoon leader. My biggest responsibe is to make the people of my platoon get the most out of the game. This was not a easy job because of this.
But during saturday i felt this changed. When the third party (company leaders) was cut of. And I reported directly to Brujo.
I do not attack either Brujo or others here personal. I will love to work with you guys again. But I feel that this is something we can learn a lot of..
Enough said about the bad communication. Me and my platoon had a great time!. We do not simply sit on our buttoms when the leadership above us does not work. We had always people out in the field reporting intel back at us. And our posts at the base defence was always operative.
Friday, we hooked up with Dimitri and Vasilli company, and had a major attack on their base. This lasted for 4hours.
Meanwhile we had a small squad out collecting intel about the other bases around the island.
Later, on friday night. We had been waiting 7hours for orders. And doing several attemt to request any.
We had just heard that Commander Red and his Spetsnaz was about to attack some cannons. My req squad had put them on the map earlier that day, so I sent my the whole platoon to clean the way for Spetsnas and maybe attack the base. After we had cleaned more than 2km of hostile road, and killed more than 30% of the finnish freedom fighters. We where all the way at the main gate at the Finnish base, when Spesnaz showed up. Then everything become a mess. But it was something of the coolest thing I've ever seen
I split my Platoon in two, and we joined spetsnas and Dimitri? for a attack on the swedish base. It also become a mess
But a great attack I will remember.
We did return to the base at 05:00 Saturday morning.
Rest of the day was mainly base defence. Untill we was included in the attack of the Swedish base.
We escorted the tanks into the base as planned with great success. Along with with Dimitri Company we builded up a bullet proof line that sweeped into the base fron north and north west. I felt we had full controll all the way, and did not have any big casualties. From the other side, my right flank hooked up vith Borris and vasilli. We made a Sandwich out of the swediah base, and was about to close it around the few still living enemies when the game was stopped.
I wish we had a working communication Brujo, but I think you did great. You did not have an easy job, newer knowing when a company was online or not. Maybe the berget crew did not provide you enough information either.
I was a UN Squad leader in Berget 4, but we did see a lot more action this time at berget 5. Even if the structure did not work as good as it did back then.
Greetings to all my new Comrads.
Herman Company, 2'nd Platoon
