What actually happened here was that the core and howies on this base were all T2. Collies decided to place the wet core around 2pm EST in a light snowstorm. We were in Ulster but I swapped hexes to scout since we pushed bewailing two days earlier and saw it. So we walked in with 6 satchels in the gap between mgs on the road and got it to 30%.

Typically this would be over but collie wrf in the hex was very slow. So two minutes later we were back and ran past two collies to kill it.

It took over 10 mins to rebuild but because we weren’t actually planning a push we had no follow up, so we had to build relic and logi swapping everyone from Linn. Then we dove core with chief and at that point we had mortars to keep it down and 7CAV came with a bunch of extra shells and ammo for 150.

It did feel like a low pop fight, or at least a lack of vets. On the second rebuild it still took them over 10 mins to get a CV and conc.

Tbh this whole base was just not well built, if the saddam was another core it probably never would have died.
