Great AAR.

Five will get you ten that a US Navy Captain will cover his own arse and leave our hero out to dry. Possibly 'promoted' to heading up the motor pool.

Possibly 'promoted' to heading up the motor pool.

Sgt Bilco did very well out of 'heading up the Motor Pool' 

[carlos marighela]

I thought he ended up on TMP constantly chiming in about his 'service'*? . Same bloke claimed to have been put in charge of an atomic demolition munition, which may have been true. Perfect candidate to have triggered one. 'You stay there Ralph and when you see the rooskies come over the hill, push that button'. Almost as funny as Phil Silvers but in an entirely different way.

Great AAR, Jim. I was feeling the Black Hawk Down vibe the whole time. And speaking of which, when you said that the Black Hawk got damaged, I'm thinking, "Here we go..."

Awaiting the next episode.

Ahh, you've done it again!
Leaving us on edge waiting for the next episode.
You cad. 

Yes, well, that's how it goes sometimes...

Very good.

Thanks, boys!

Great AAR.

Five will get you ten that a US Navy Captain will cover his own arse and leave our hero out to dry......

Thanks.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.  I don't even know yet...

I've tried to shoot down 6 helicopters in 2 games so far (5 Blackhawks and a Little Bird).  Came close with 3 of them, but they all got away.  But we were more concerned with the Little Bird.  It only had one damage point left, a couple points of shock on the crew, and it was out of ammo.  Had it gone down, the QRF would have had to go in a on a S&R mission, leaving the convoy without top cover...
