RoN Battle for Carrefour

Grid Coordinates: Studica - F4

Division 2, Operation Team 8, Toohati

 

BLITZKRIEG!!!

 

As the RoN forces began their attack on Carrefour, a satellite scan revealed a previously hidden LRA battery had taken up a position overlooking the Carrefour International Airport. In order for the operation to capture the airport to go smoothly, a surgical strike was needed, and it was needed yesterday. Flagstone Squad was selected. The top-ranked squadron in the Toohati Nightguards, this elite Special Forces team was known for having never failed a mission. Once orders were received, the squad was dispatched under cover of darkness. A briefing took place en route, and 27 minutes later, the RAAV (Rapid Assault Armored Vehicle) had penetrated to the heart of Carrefour. It stopped a block short of their objective to unload the team....

Sgt. Leo "Brick" DeClay: "Sitrep, CoAC jamming is in place. Commie, get in your Tuba, we need a link to HQ. Kong, go AP on your load-out. We've got no idea whether they will have vehicle support. Rad, you good?"

Sgt. Dietrich "Radaghast" Chvala: "I good. We go now, ja?"

Sgt. Leo: "Commie, you up and running?"

Tech. Joey "Commie" Staline: "Yup. I hate this thing... You owe me a drink. All of you, when this is over."

Sgt. Xander "King Kong" Rasine: I'm ready, let's go. No MegaBlockers are gonna hold us back!"

Sgt. Leo: "Comms check."

Sgt. Chvala: "Radaghast reads you."

Sgt. Rasine: "Kong reads."

Tech. Staline: "Commie, check."

Sgt. Leo: "Move out, this op should be accomplished in 15 minutes."

The team moved silently down the deserted street, accompanied by the low rumbling of the RAAV. Reaching the crossroads, they saw the CoAC troops engaged in a drinking game....

Sgt. Leo: "Hit 'em hard and fast. No squirters on this one."

The squad broke into a run, and rushed towards the park. None of the CoAC soldiers noticed.

Sgt. Rasine: "I count four hostiles."

Sgt. Leo: "Take 'em down."

A series of muffled pops signified the deaths of several CoAC soldiers.

Sgt. Leo: "All clear. Hostiles down."

Sgt. Chvala: "One alive. Out from drinking. Up, you MegaBlocker, get up! Hands in sight!"

Sgt. Leo: "Commie, tell HQ we secured the LRA, with one prisoner."

Tech. Staline: "RoN Central Command, the LRA is secured, and we have one prisoner for the spooks. Go take that airfield! Flagstone out."

• Pros: the tank, the story, the nice light in the pictures, the canon, the "MegaBlocker" insult-
• Cons: the enviroment even it is nice, could have more details
• Hightlight: the beheaded soldier
• Suggestion: When you have dead people but the minifig head have open eyes, try to put them with the head down

Thank you. I simply ran out of time on the details, college classes and applications sucked me down. And yeah, probably should have flipped the minifigs.

You’ve been awarded (6) points.

Judges’ comments…

Your tank is very well executed. It's simple and clean but looks so realistic. Very nicely done. Unfortunately, your tank is the saving grace of the build. The artillery is a nice piece, but the rest is literally just some random points thrown on a base plate. Need to definitely build a little more into this in terms of either structures or landscaping. This ties in to the story of the campaign, but it does not really feature CQB.        

Best vehicle in C4! Nice AT-gun. Be careful with using blood - quality is often better than quantity    

Man, that’s a nice tank. Really great angles for the turret. What hurt your score a bit is the rest of the build. The artillery piece is nice, but looking at the quality of the tank and prior builds, I think you could do better. Much of the rest of the build almost looks like an afterthought. Even if its’ a smaller, more concentrated build with better quality, that would look better than a few bright spots spread over a large area. 

 

Be Sure to Update Your AARs. 

Thanks for playing!

Thank you Judges.

I will agree, I did not spend as much as I should have on the rest of the build, I will definitely try to do better next time! And I am glad you all liked the tank.
