So I'll wait then...Should I post Alec doing recon in Poland?
Sure, but I thought your character was with the Hard Knocks unit? Wouldn't he stay with them until they got deployed too? Unless you're going to recon an LZ or something for them. In any case, your call.

It might be the case that when you wanted a sit-rep, the recon team came up against this. It is literally the first wave of forces- this offensive by the rebels/Green Men has gone on for the last few days in particular, but when you said that everything was kinda collapsing, I assumed that this was the vanguard of an Invasion force. So the VDV you saw and the Mech was literally the first pieces of equipment on the ground- with Jan's intel perhaps being the first that NATO HQ might actually hear that CSTO are involved, being thus far just a massive advance by Green Men/defected forces. I did think you implied it, but none the less, the invasion isn't fully underway- it's mostly how Jan percieves it, and if anything, is the preliminary phase. Paras being dropped in among apparently rebel forces, the smoke stacks of armor and the slow push of CSTO into the area, with this being maybe the absolute first that they'll hear. Apologies if it was a bit too avantgarde- it was just when you mentioned that basically, things had gone to shit, I stepped in and basically went a bit further (sorry). If it's anything, you can make it the first report even received of Russian forces (with the Poles all pretty unanimous about the Green Men and militias being either CSTO-backed and the whole being very fucking shady), and perhaps triggering Alec's deployment as a recon unit, before the main force are deployed en masse to help protect Warsaw. Apologies in advance- but it did raise the stakes, by kinda throwing the idea that Squad One was pretty fucked in Lublin.
No problem, like I said it wasn't my original idea, but hell I'll make it work I guess.
