Fire from the Sky

Map Rosche BLUFOR

The premise of this mission is that a platoon of infantry are needing to retreat from a superior enemy force attacking from the North.

An air element is going to take flight to cover their withdraw. But the catch is that the air units can only see their own markers while the ground units can't seen any markers at all. (If I find a good way to do this ... else no BFT for anyone!)

Air will need to find the infantry, follow them and support their push south. 

TLDR: BLUFOR infantry retreats south while air units provide recon and cover for them.
