Rangoon pictorial (better late than never?)
« on: August 14, 2011, 10:42:31 PM »
I finally posted my pictorial AAR for Rangoon.  Late is not as good as posting it right at the end of the scenario, but I figure it's better than not at all.

For any interested:

Nice pics Brooke. I knew you would get a nice shot of killing my 110 in frame 1. I remember looking back at the dozen other enemies I was pulling away from, then I see you above at D200. "Its alright. I pulling away from them. ...Oh shi-!!"  :salute

That is a grim situation to be in:  chased by about 15 enemies, and one has just enough speed to catch up.  Arg. <S>

Entertaining read, thanks Brooke. Rangoon has always been my favortie.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

That last frame I spent about 15+ minutes doing what I would describe as "fighting for position" but never really getting a good solid fight. Wasn't going to go diving in with all those baddies hovering around. And chase me, they did!

I kept trying to separate 1 or 2 and maybe make a pass but never got the chance. Ended up RTB with nothing to show (for that particular effort, not counting the early part of the frame).

Yep, I'd have done the same.  If I could lure one off by himself or manage an attack on only the highest enemy while the others can't get at me, OK . . . but no way would I have reversed back into a 5 on 1 to let the enemy swarm me.
