The 2nd try went better, although I lost that first hostage. What I think is so cool about this map is that it is randomly generated The way the only gate in is covered by fixed guns so that even my smoke didn't totally work. And how the executioner can be just barely stopped if I rush in after the gate is blown (apparently the smoke doesn't trigger a reaction). And that there is a suicide bomber just waiting to rush in and spoil my plans. All a very nice challenge.
Right now I just finished a random mission using yet another squad mod, this time the new Nowheraki Partisans. It's early days for the mod but still has a lot of fun options.
