Paradrop 2005
Final
All units within town were destroyed or surrendered after putting up a stiff but futile resistance. One Engineer squad along with a sniper made it to the safety of the hills. Pathfinder platoon E along with ATGM teams was safely in the woods to the southeast at the end of the game. Several other ATGM teams made it to the edge of the map.
I was credited with killing 15 soft vehicles and 15 APCs. The Red forces certainly suffered heavily but it’s meaningless in the larger picture. The scenario rated the mission a draw but I consider it a complete failure in every respect. If my mission was to secure the landing zone then I had the forces to get into a defensive position and destroy his armor as it crossed the open ground. However, if my objective was to take the town and hold the LZ; then someone vastly underestimated the enemy forces in the area and should go down with me. I stand humbled but defiant.
