A small lesson, from an ongoing PBEM, on why you should always pick carefully where you dismount and prepare the area accordingly.
1st squad of the 2nd platoon, under the leadership of Staff Sergeant Lowell is preparing a greeting for enemy AFV's and their dismounts. Staff Sergeant Lowell is on the left, on the right (closer to camera) is Sergeant Alanis, fire team leader of the 1st squad.
The approaching AFV.
General overview of the tactical situation. First squad is providing flank security for 2nd platoon and tanks.
The first spotted dismount was from Platoon HQ unit, and the soldier was promptly cut down by the M60 gunner.
Following that, full squad is spotted finishing their dismount procedure.
Shortly thereafter, a BTR 60 was spotted in the back. One of the soldiers prepares the LAW and fires it, hitting an object in the trajectory of rocket. I suspect it is the first BTR.
Firefight continues. Staff Sergeant Lowell's men continue to shoot and kill, soldiers under the command of the fire team leader Sergeant Alanis join in. As the turn ends, the M60 gunner prepares and fires the LAW at the spotted BTR 60, hitting it. A crewman is spotted running by that BTR, confirming my hypothesis that the first LAW hit the BTR.
The turn ends, revealing a destroyed Soviet squad.
