GBW -CP3 Balafih - C2 - The Counterattack

[Johannsued]

Due to the recent attack on the command post, a small team has been dispatched to the northern border between Briolui and Filace.  Intelligence suspects that this is where the CoAC team that attacked the command post crossed over. Their mission is to proceed to the area and wreak havoc upon the enemy, using sniper fire. If the mission is successful, they will have set up a choke point for any further enemy advances through that area.  If a force arrives larger than what the RoN team is equipped for, they can evacuate the area and call in either an airstrike or a cruise missile attack.  Just another example of how constant communication is so important on the modern battlefield!

First, the sniper team takes out the guard:

After the sniper team had cleared the area, the task force, named " Scorpion Sting ",commanded by specialist kowalski,started to set up the choke point:

Judges’ comments…

Nice story and idea. I like the vegetation all over the place. I would recommend working on the terrain a bit. The big green plates are making everything look far too square. Otherwise, great job!

Well detailed with plant life and I think you have established that with this build. Your troops look good and look ready for action. I think the RoN was suppossed to be in a stationary set up, instead of getting to a spot and then creating the ambush. I may have misunderstood what was done here so I did not let that affect your score on this build. There did not appear to be any real elevational changes, which made for a flat build, but well littered with vegetation. Your roadway on an angle was good, but maybe a little too straight? Throw in some extra bits to give the road some crooked shape. Good use of a solid backdrop, beware of those natural shadows that can creep up on you though, looks like a few of them got your build. Keep up the good work!

The custom fire team looks great. Really neat job with the camo painting. Perhaps a little too yellow in my opinion, but that could just be a matter of taste and it’s not something that can hurt your score. The terrain looks pretty good. Great job with different vegetation and I’m pleased to see that you tried to make the road diagonal. Adding some more plates, especially wedges along the edges could help as could having some of the vegetation overgrow the grass. That can help make the edge of the road less straight in places. I would also recommend showing more views of the truck. I can’t tell too much about its design based on what you pictured. It could have some nice details, or it could just be an average truck, I really can’t tell. I did enjoy the story, but the campaign calls for coordination with your allies. I cannot see any reference to any allied forces. This issue did not destroy your score, but they did result in the loss of a few easy points

Thanks for playing!
