ASSAULT ON ALPHA
Same round, same team. After the fail of East Point, we decided to go for another epic assault. Our target was Alpha this time.
We gathered with at least as many LCVPs as the previous assault around A12. Unfortunately, no area attack was available, but at least this time we would have backup from our mortars. The idea was to drop smoke on the beach, so the enemy couldn't see us very well. As many of you know, you can make all the plans you want, but as soon as the first bullet goes past your head, the only thing you think about is survival...
The entire team was gathered around A12. I gave the team a good "GOOO" through Mumble and again, everybody moved their LCVPs to the north. This landing would be different from the previous, as we had a much bigger beach to cross.
When we were nearing the beaches and the enemy bunkers popped up through the fog, the enemy got us in their sights and opened fire. Not much we could do other than return MG fire and just keep going for the beaches.
I requested mortarsmoke on the beach, but for some reason it didn't work!! Hardware failure? I have no idea why it didn't work out. We were doomed... We landed, opened the ramps and ran out the LCVPs as quickly as we could. Enemy fire all around us, explosions from enemy PAKs taking the lives of many.
Some of us made it to the shingles. Bleeding, but still alive. A lot of patching up there. Little cover, but enough to stay alive for a short while. SMOKE! SMOKE OUT!! We ran towards the cliffs, where the enemy had a harder time spotting us. Or so we thought - the enemy had infantry targeting us, mortars included!
Thank goodness, someone brought a grappling hook! A handful of us climbed up and made it to the first enemy bunker, trenches behind it and not too many enemies for some reason. We managed to take out an AA gun, which was of no use to either side due to the lack of planes - we felt victorious nonetheless

Soon after, all of us got shot but me. I managed to take out two more soldiers, but later on got shot by a German SdKfz 231

Another epic assault. A big thanks to all involved
