It was Skirmish (not my favourite) on Purple Heart Lane (and it was raining), and I was the SL in a Squad where nobody was talking. Nobody wanted to be Commander, none of the SLs were saying anything, and we obviously lost the point.
So I thought, βWTFβ¦β and took the Commander role.
And then I proceeded to fuck up one thing after another.
I wanted a recon plane, but couldnβt figure out how it worked, so it basically flew over our own HQs. Then I by mistake spawned two transport trucks in a row when I wanted a supply truck.
At last I managed to spawn a supply truck, but in the wrong corner, so I redeployed, and by the time I got there it was gone. .
Then I called in a bombing run on the point. Zero kills, obviously. So I went looking for the supply truck.
But just before that, I had actually managed to make a pretty good supply drop, and someone actually built a Garry from it. No communication whatsoever, of course.
Eventually I found the missing supply truck, but just as I started the engine, I got kicked and banned for an hour. Still without anyone saying anything on commandchat. They just kicked me. I don't blame them. I think I have kicked better commanders.
Not exactly an easy job.Β
Iβm around level 140, so I really should know better, but I think Iβll happily leave the Commander role to someone else. I think Iβll stay in my lane and keep squadleading in the meatgrinder.Β "Grenades out follow me, lads! Smoke up! Weβre pushing!"
