Very basic synopsis:
Saturday day, TFR used superior numbers and aggression to win the objectives seemingly with ease. Though the afternoon could be because they totally abandoned the raid missions, did not even try. TFR failed the morning raid missions to capture the mercenary crew for questioning and then just seemed to abandon even trying in the afternoon, letting the pleas and requests by the intelligence community be rebuffed.

Saturday Night mission, even with "better tech and tactics and aggression", TFR seemed to almost effortlessly complete their objectives; but they were suddenly baffled by SNA's guile. SNA managed to get to their downed chopper, get the Flight Recorder and mark the airframe literally right under TFR's nose. SNA also managed to find their local-captured chemical weapons detection tech and detector equipment+samples, again, right from under TFR's nose. Which very much seemed a bit more bruised and bloody as it seemed that not helping with the afternoon raid missions turned the city more against TFR with an slight under current of discontent.

Sunday's mission.
TFR was off to a commanding lead at the beginning again with numbers, tech, and aggression. But the city's sullenness exploded into rage and their troops in the Northern woods began to be opposed by the city itself. Their leadership took their eye off their logistics train and SNA managed to use old but reliable transport to insert a squad into the parking garage right in front of TFR's spawn forcing TFR to waste lots of precious time to come back and clear it out.
Meanwhile SNA threw squads up the deadly stairs of 408 desperately trying to get Aidid.
While TFR also had more than a few well played pushes up the building, in the end SNA got Aidid and brought him to justice turning his corpse over to the UN.
The day ended with SNA in control of a building more than TFR, who again seemed a bit stunned by the parking garage insertion and the city itself fighting them in the woods. But they still rallied and held their ground.

It was a draw through and through. Good fighting from both sides.
