Great mission that offers everything in one mission, ambush, fighting over a large distance (javelin/sniper) and close quarters combat. It maybe one of the numerous "clear the town"-missions, but imho one of the better ones.

I didn't use the Delta team, but I radioed them later to at least see them, but they didn't show up, maybe because I had already done all objectives, don't know. And I had problems with the evac chopper to fly away properly, it instead was stuck hovering above the gas station. That could be fixed just with loading a savegame, so no problem.

Oh and yes, JTD Fire&Smoke is definitely recommended!

BTW, try not to use "IED" as a synonym for "satchel". An "improvised explosive device" is a homemade bomb fiddled together by some terrorist in his garage, it can be anything between a firecracker and a modified 1-ton-bomb dud, and is not mass-produced, each one is unique. The term "satchel" however is used for standard military equipment, like the M183 charge, consisting of 16 blocks (i.e. 20 pounds) C4 with detonator and trigger, packed neatly in a bag.

Thanks Brainbug for your feedback. Highly appreciated.

Delta should arrive to town, but they may take some time because they are on combat behauviour so they cover each other asses.

And yes i have noticed too that sometimes the evac chopper does exactly that, but usually it does it job without getting stuck. Don't know why it get's stuck sometimes.

And about using the word IED. I used it just because it sounds more cooler than satchel charge. Not realistical i know.
Same goes for the day time. Usually these kinds of operations are done in the night, but i find night missions pretty poor because the BIS engine isn't the best looking at nights. So that's why i use day time in my missions.
