I used them to seize the bend in the road and then secure a path for the mech units to take to the firebase.
After this was secure and the mech units had relived the air mobile units, I had them remount and assault the mortars to the south of the firebase.
About half of the transnport helos were damaged in the process but none were lost. The remainder were resupplied and used as gunships.
I lost a Huey gunship and had another damaged by a hidden 57mm . I also lost a FO Huey and had a Cobra damaged along the way. The others kept making trips back and forth to the ammo trucks after taking out the mortars to the north east of the firebase.
I never used the final 6 air strikes since I was sure there would be yet another wave attacking the firebase.
Ended up with a DV at the end but it was touch and go the whole time. This scenario really keeps you on your toes.
