Phew... finally the High Command gave us the permission to go in an capture Antwerp, the biggest city in the whole of Belgium. We had capped and pulled back from it the whole week, but last night we captured few towns around it making Antwerp worth capturing. What a fight it was. :p

July 15th

I spawned as sniper at the SE FB (our mobile spawn had been destroyed, didnt notice. DOH!) and got a lift from one of our Panzers moving in towards the Antwerp Airfield. Roughly 2 kilometers from the AF, I wished the Panzers good hunting and start slowly crawling my way towards the forest ahead, I was in open field at this point.

Few minutes later I started noticing muzzleflashes ~700-800 meters away in the treeline. I immediately stopped what I was doing and raised my scope on it, 3 shots and the threat was eliminated.

I continued creeping with my face on the mud towards my target. Five or so minutes later I reached railroad tracks that were coming from Antwerp and continued to the S, at this point I spotted an enemy anti-tank gun moving in the hedges few hundred meters to north. The bushes were obstructing my view, so I only could get a few lucky shots in and hope for the best, later on I learned I didnt hit, but one of our own ATGs had killed it.

Upon reaching the forest, I scanned the area ahead. More open ground and on the other side of it was the Airfield Armybase, my target. After 5 or 6 minutes of searching for possible threats, I moved on, as low as I could. Enemy planes were taking off and landing all the time, the war in the air seemed to be raging aswell. As usual, the Luftwaffe guys were either way over the city or absent.

I kept on crawling towards a pair of 2 story warehouse buildings (veh spawn) without encountering any enemies on the way. I couldnt believe it! The whole of airfield armybase was left undefended, stupid move from the allies.

When I got into the base, I rushed into the bunker, hoping there isnt a Bren waiting for me. Again, nothing. I captured the armybase and defended it until I was replaced with an MG soldier that came to help me. Shortly after our troops captured also the Airfield CP at the NW corner. I RTB'd with 1 kill and 1 capture.
