@@ReySchultz121 Well alongside The fact the US/ARVN were basically having to brute force through guerilla positions with no terrain advantage, The US began to lose Public opinion in the war, And the effects of Defoliants on Friendly forces aswell as the terrain basically forced the US to pull out or suffer civil war.

Member of the combat squad here. We lost our radio very early on and we had no contact with other units. We started the round thinking we were right at their spawn. Once we realized that they were going to flank us, the original squad moved around and got separated. I was the AT guy so I was very slow and joined a group of guys. We were just quietly going through the jungle and just happening to hit ARVN at the best times. The river flank was just us basically following sounds and walking in random directions. At the end the VC are shooting from the hideout thinking we are ARVN. Me and the other guys in the squad assume its ARVN and since I was too slow to run, I decided to do a last stand thinking there were way more ARVN than there actually were. Also, in the mirror match I was the driver of the APC and when we get ambushed and molotov'd, I panicked and tried to run the VC down. Somehow me and Latham were able to stealthily drive the APC and clear the hideout together. It was so much fun and is genuinely the most fun I have had in Arma!

Im starting to think that Grenadier was Specialist Hazard

VC plan part 1: get a grenadier out in the field. Part 2: have said grenadier attack front line. Part 3: Retreat, someone’s blowing us up, surely it can’t be our own forces, the enemy must be advancing. Considering how short range their communications are, I feel like that’s a super real thing that could have happened in an actual war. Like I don’t know of a case where it has, but I’m sure it has.
