More Modern Crossfire AWESOMENESS! UAV Shot

Ben from Ben's Soldiers...
This is for you.  I was trolling around the internet today and watching some devastating hellfire and 30mm attacks via Predator drones and Apache Gunships and thought up this all on my own.  It is UAV "footage" from a recent game I played showing the orchard and palm groves in back of the mosque during a US raid.  I hope you enjoy!
US Force in the top right move into position after stirring up the "hornet's nest" in Tarmiyah, Iraq.  Insurgent fireteams scramble into position to meet them.  Take note of the pickup truck loaded with weapons as well as all of the insurgents carrying weapons.  Target rich environment.  Attack Aviation has orders to support but to not shoot the mosque.
Since this was a small part of a much, much larger game, I'll let this image settle in and hopefully post pictures tomorrow.  I just thought this was a cool picture, which I will let speak for itself.

"SIX, TWO SIX ACTUAL THIS PLACE IS CRAWLING WITH A - I - F DOWN HERE I HAVE NUMEROUS ENEMY POSITIONS IN FRONT OF MY TRACE, REQUESTING ATTACK AVIATION AT FOLLOWING GRID - STANDING BY TO SEND MY PUSH, OVER.

"SEND IT, TWO-SIX"

The game was set for a raid but rolling for Iraqi position setup, most of the troops, to include the target of the raid, started in defensive positions in back of the building.  As you can see from the orchard, a Bradley moving up into position makes heavy contact while 2nd platoon elements can be seen dismounting the Brad and also in the copse of trees next to it.  Out of the picture to the upper right there are blocking positions of humvees with fireteams who will eventually swing into action.

  1. That is one awesome teaser! Seriously a neat picture, can't wait to see the rest unfold tomorrow maybe. I recently watched the one from the Apache with the 30mm: these Taliban dudes strolling down a street with this dog snooping around in the corner. The Taliban literally explode in two bursts of cannon fire and the dog trots off out of the scene unscathed! Interesting comparison of intelligence...

    Thanks for posting
