[GBW] - Free Build - Roskilde - Night Attack

[Scorcher43]

Location: PSIC FOB Stone, East Burke Atoll

After retrieving the nuclear material, the 5th Duke of Telson Lancers had returned to their FOB with other PSIC units and settled in until the material could be removed from the island. 

At 0330, LCPL Mike Dobson trudged out to the gun pit where two-man piquet was being held. He saw Scofield set up behind the Minimi and slid in, readying himself for the next hour of trying not to fall asleep. He thought to himself that of he wanted to sit in a gun pit, he'd have joined the infantry...

"How's it hanging Dobbo?" Asked Scofield "Also remind me why we're doing this? Last I checked these weren't our pits and we were promised a full nights sleep."

"I'm surviving mate... but yeah I heard the CO owed a Pilghian Colonel a favour, so whilst his infantards are getting their sleep in, we get piquet..." Mike responded

"Yeah figures. How's the missus? You got an approved phone call earlier yeah?"

"She's doing alright. I haven't told her about the Fortress yet... keep putting it off you know. She's never been keen on me killing someone..."

Then a shot went out somewhere down the line, followed by a machine gun burst. Then more gunfire started up somehwere closer to them and the radio started making noise on the squadron channel. 

Mike could hear the call for stand to go out and then the rush as men rushed out of their bivvies to the pits. Then the base alarmed sounded and he started seeing movement ahead. 

"This is Victor 1 1 to all Victor 1 1 callsigns. Engage targets at your discretion. Let it rip boys! Out"

"Hear that Sco? At least you won't have to be carrying all that ammo anymore haha" Mike joked 

"Not a bad silver lining actually..." Scofield responded as a twig snapped.

Suddenly the trip flare went off and illuminated two unlucky Tosulese soldiers, yelling as they were temporarily blinded. Scofield let off a killing burst with the minimi and they stopped screaming. 

Then two more Tosul soldiers emerged and opened up on them next to their fallen comrades. Mike and Scofield returned fire. 

As one of the Tosulese dropped, Scofield took a round in the armour and slumped back into the pit, swearing as he went. 

In turn Mike fired on the last enemy. 

As he went down, Mike did a post engagement sequence and checked on Scofield. 

"Sco you good mate? He hurt you?" He asked

"Fuuuuckkk me, megablock got me right in the armour. Never gonna complain about this heavy shit again though eh haha." Scofield responded. This made Mike laugh.

As the sun rose, CPL Wates led a clearance patrol through the area, checking the bodies and securing weapons. 

"Bloody hell, you boys had a big night. You scared them away before they came to my pit!" Gramson called out as he walked by

"Yeah we'll leave some more for you next time eh!" Mike called back.

It's been a while since anyone posted anything, so I thought I might change that. Continuing the story a little from the Burke Atoll a little with the 5th Duke of Telson. 

Also check out the new design for my boys. I reckon the Citizen Brick OCP camo looks a lot more like AMCU with its olive base, don't you agree?

Its good to be back

Nice scene and story. The lighting could be a little more on the night shots, just add a bluish tint maybe. Lug the armour, leave the ammo in the enemy.

Looks absolutely stunning. Guess I'll start building again too.

Good job on the lighting, like the effect when the light hit the enemy.

Yeah I tried using the moonlight filter in colour lookup on photoshop to create a darkness, but I might try and see if I can find something darker.

Thanks! Surprisingly that effect really put my photoshop skills to test. Not sure if that says more about me or photoshop though...
