[GBW - CP4]  Commonwealth of Southern Territories - Dawn is when the RoN attacks!

Studica F4

Three major attacks took place in the mission to rescue the city of Carrefour.  Of those attacks, the one focused on the Southeastern section of the city had multiple parts.  An APC team moved into the city and was in need of support from a ground team.  Another team was sent to the Embassy.  There was also a river incursion to secure some docks and regain the ability to control the city.  This is the story of the river team...

 

 

Dawn is when the French and Indians attack. 

Today, it's when the RoN attacks!

The lone soldier traces back and forth guarding the dock.

He starts at one side and walks to the other, keeping a look out for any activity.

As he walks, he looks around to make sure no one surprises him.  Since there seems to be no activity, he starts singing a song to himself.

"One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car, so come on let's ride"

"To the liquor store around the corner
The boys say they want some gin and juice
But I really don't wanna"

"Beer bust, like I had last week
I must stay deep, 'cause talk is cheap
I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita"

Suddenly, the Mambo No. 5 fan is grabbed around the shoulder and chest, pulled backwards, and a single blade of serrated steel is plunged into his chest where his beating heart sits.

He is dragged into the water and held there until his heart beats no more.

Objective one complete, neutralize the guard(s) and secure the dock.  Once the initial two soldiers secure the dock, the rest of the team follows.

All of the team stores their diving gear from the river infiltration in an empty cargo box found on the dock...

Oso speaks..."Two objectives remain men.  We have an unknown number of men on the roof guarding this area...

"...and we have two soldiers on an M2 fifty cal."  "Let's move."

The strike team splits into two four-man squads. Squad one will breach the building and make their way to the roof.

Squad two will remain on the dock and maintain stealth.  The sun continues to rise...

The team's sniper will continue to observe the roof top in case someone is spotted and will provide feedback for the breacher team once they are about to hit the roof top.

GO GO GO!

No flashbangs neccesary, breach the first room...cover your six!

The team progresses up the stairs and encounters absolutely zero resistance.  Intel was damn good.  This was an understaffed dock along the river and an excellent location to take.  

The sniper gives the go ahead, neither of the guards are looking back.

As the two men unsheathe their blades, the only sound to be heard on the roof top is the hum of the HVAC units...

The two soldiers engage.  Silently, but forcefully, they hit both men at the same time and drop them together.  The bodies are then silently dragged to the corner of the roof.

Sniper chimes in on the comms and alerts the roof team to a guard atop the blue building!  Commander Oso moves into position...

"He's in my sights, I'm engaging."

Clack-clack-clack.  Clack-clack-clack. 

The metallic sound is so subtle and silent, it's unnoticeable.

Both of the three shot bursts hit; three in the base of the neck, three in the back to the heart.  The enemy drops.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Objective two is complete, one objective remains.  Eliminate the two soldiers on the 50 cal. machine gun.

Slowly...silently...carefully...two of the men approach the machine gun nest from the rear and line up their shots...

Tick-tick-tick.  Tick-tick-tick.  The rounds go off in three shot bursts, the guards drop like sacks of potatoes.  All three objectives complete.

Commander Oso notices a subway station on the corner across from the machine gun nest.  That would be a great way for the enemy to sneak around throughout the city...He decides to eliminate that option for the enemy.  One of the men run over and throw some explosive down the stairs...

The team prepares for the explosion.  They cover all directions in case more of the enemy decide to show...

Fire in the hole...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

The explosion goes off and the subway station is buried and burnt!

With the mission complete, the sniper removes a uniquely designed communication device recently developed by the brilliant minds of the RoN.  This new technology hasn't been broken by the enemy yet so it proves quite useful.

"Joint RoN Command, this is River Strike Team.  Dock secure, six enemy KIA (killed in action), subway station located and destroyed.  All men accounted for...mission a success.  Over."

I enjoyed this Campaign.  I thought the defined urban, close-quarters battle was a great change compared to what we have been doing.  It was a good shake up!  Ok, what did I use in this...LEGO bricks, no clones of course.  Accessory wise, I used a lot!  There are Brickarms all over the place; I used rifles, The Ma Deuce .50, helmets and vests.  I used weapons and gear from Minifig.cat also; those backpacks look fantastic and their silencers fit on so many of their weapons.   All of the CoST strike force members are wearing different combat gloves from Eclipse Grafx.  These look good and add a lil bit extra to the character.  For the enemy, whichever CoAC nation, I used decals from Roaglaan.  His stuff looks great, you just need some patience.  Few different places to get them, if you're curious, just ask.

Must have been pretty hard to pull out of the body.

• Pros: "One, two, three, four, five Everybody in the car, so come on let's ride", the amazing minifig posing, the aircondition fans, the build in different levels, the subway entrance
• Cons: actually....nothing!!
• Hightlight: the covered barbeque in the backyard !
• Suggestion: add some dark bricks in the back of the building so  to give the feeling of the completed build and not to see the gap from the back

YES!  This was something I botched and meant to fix but goofed up my planning.  Once the photos were taken, they were the first things I noticed as well...along with the crooked roof top brick!  Thanks for the comments, I appreciate them!

Very nice. I like the way you did the wood working and posts down on the dock. Overall this is filled to the brim with detail and caught myself going back to see what I could steal from it for future use. My only complaint here is that you didn't really do anything to push the envelope or introduce something new. A very quality build all around.         

Nice battle. Some more details in the water and the building would have been great. Taking pics in the sun sometimes make Lego bricks reflecting....    

Nicely done, and thanks for adding the HVAC unit (just for me, I’m sure). The story is nice, and you have some fantastic details along the dock, especially the weathering along the cement wall. Your subway station has a nice design, but the neighboring buildings are way too basic. They really look like simple blocks with holes for windows. Some weathering, additional architectural features, etc. would help a lot.  

Be Sure to Update Your AARs. 

Thanks for playing!
