We went to the Commander and talked him into letting us go on a downed Battlecruiser mission.Paul and Mike had been bugging me about going out on a mission with the team,but i kept putting them off as thier little tanks don't have the firepower to deal with the new stronger critters we have been running into.Unfortunately, some of the team are recovering from a tough month and the rest are on forced leave as the Commader knew they were getting battle weary.So that just left us--The DesertRats and the two Desert Hunter tanks to hold the fort.So of course the damm air boys just had to go and shoot down two Battlecruisers----leave it to the AirForce to screw up us ground pounders when ever they can

So I put it to the Commander and with much grummbleing he decided to let us have a go at the first BC. Well it turned out be a cake walk { only Tincans-(Chasers) and Bots--(Destroyers) } and the Hunter tanks worked out very well as scouts and we all made it home safe and sound.

So of course Nabo and Dav want to have a go at the other downed BC.Those two would take on a Battleship by themselves if we would let'em.


Come on Lt. give.Did the high and mighty give us go or not?I mean how could they not after the way the first mission went!!!

Yeah Nabo,they finally broke down and gave us a go. But----{Dav in the Back ground} Whaa Whooo!!!!!-----BUT keep in mind the Hunter tanks don't have enough power to hurt a flea and as good as we are there is only the four of us-----SO STEADY up and get your gear together,we move out in 20 minutes.

[Zalandar]

De"boh-----Pondering to herself as the SkyDiver settle to the ground, crap i hope we know what we're getting into.Mavbe we should abort this one.
