Oddly enough, I have a story from the same game.
There were sixteen of us: two squads of Veteran Mercenary Riflemen, one team of Snipers, and an MG crew. An FCA Rifleman unit was held in reserve. Our opponents were a group of Uman Terrorists and Bandits numbering nearly forty. They had hounded us and demanded nearly half our funds, and attacked when we refused to give in to their banditry.
Our deployment was within the combat area, which in my experience has provided the most exciting fights, as the AI tends to come at you from multiple directions more readily than otherwise. We lucked out with our deployment, being at the top of a hill with dense tree cover on one side and a sheer cliff overlooking a large valley and another cliff about level with us on the other. As combat began we came under fire almost immediately. This was my first ever engagement with the Uman Terrorists, so I did not know what to expect. The MG squad and one of the Rifleman units held off a squad of Redshirts (the Uman wear red) who came for the treeline while the other Rifleman unit watched one of the coverless sides of the hill and the Snipers oversaw the valley. There was a brief lull in the battle, then everything went insane.
Multiple squads of Uman troops appeared on the ridge opposite us and unleashed a barrage of fire. The color of their uniforms and their propensity for skylining themselves made them fairly easy targets, though the sheer volume of incoming fire was very overwhelming. While I maneuvered my troops to focus on the large force firing upon us, another large group appeared on the ridge and poured into the valley while what looked like a single squad tried to sneak around our flank and attack from our side. Fortunately I'd seen them moving in the distance, as they did not appear on the map, being too far from me and my dudes and not firing their weapons. Our line adjusted accordingly.
Once the first wave of Uman rushing into the valley was picked off we began firing very effectively onto the enemy ridgeline. As their losses began to pile up their squads began trying to probe our hill in desperation. The open ground between us proved to be their downfall, however, as Redshirt after Redshirt fell to our firepower. Ultimately the battle became a hunt as, with only three enemies left, my two Rifle Squads pincered the Uman position on the ridge.
The enemy was completely wiped out, and the New Conglomerate (<_< >_>) suffered only two losses.
Freeman: Guerrilla Warfare
It's described by literally everyone on youtube as an ArmA/Mount and Blade fusion, and it's not really wrong. It's a great foundation, and the game is definitely worth the price already. There are a lot of things getting worked out, fixed, and added (five updates in the last six days I think), and I imagine the game is only going to improve. I don't usually get mad excited for a game's potential, but this is one that might actually become something greater.
