Thanks guys.
RECON's plan was a swift fly over the area straight to the LZ. That way they could get a look at what the villagers were up to. Then hover over the LZ for a swift drop off of the unit. The unit could then move straight into position and begin to radio back instructing the main landing on where to land and if there were any issues. None were expected. Easy stuff.
The Huey moved straight across buzzing the villagers below and dropped down to hover above the ground. The team jumped down.
Unfortunately one of the team broke an ankle and 'Doc' frantically signalled the Huey to land so he could load the wounded man aboard.
The rest of the team moved into cover and the unexpected happened as bullets starting to buzz through the air, some pinging off the Huey.
The VC amongst the villagers grabbed their hidden weapons and moved towards the helicopters. The rest of the villagers moved away from the developing fight.
The LT in command radioed in and warned the landing off but made contact with their supporting Sky Raider asking for the pilot to buzz the VC. Unfortunately the Air support was late arriving on station and so the RECON team realised they may have a problem and moved into a defensible position.
