Dude, one of our girls has a belt-fed in 7.62 loaded with high-explosive incendiaries, I would say we're sufficiently armed for the occasion. They're probably defaulting to pistols since .45 ACP suppresses better than 5.56.

That falls into the party favors end of the spectrum, my friend. Just because an ounce of sniper is worth a pound of suppression doesn't mean explosives don't have their place. There are three things I always try and plan for us to have for us to use.
One, suppressing fire.
Two, detached fire support.
Three, explosives.
We've got one and two, but a little bit of three would go a long way.
Also, once someone else posts I'm putting up the 70 maxims for your perusal.
So, @theJMPer, from her angle, can Abigail see the gunner? Because he's the guy we really want neutralized if we get seen.
EDIT: Still curious about the answer, but until then

seems to be on the right track: stealth's gotten us this far, let's see how much further we can go.

[X] Try and take out the two guards and enter the back of the house.
[X] Full sneaky: suppressed pistols only. Be the shadows, let no one know you were ever here.
I'd prefer this, but I can back Plan Dirtnap if not. Sneaky until you can't be is a good idea here. We can go loud after being sneaky, but not the reverse. So let's not wake trouble until we've run out of ninja-fuel.

9. Never turn your back on an enemy .

Erm, isn't this a quick in-and-out?
I'm not sure on my tactics, but:
- We may manage to get things done in between the routine check-ins IF we move fast enough...
- And we really don't want an enemy behind us... or in front of us when we're extracting, sandwiched in with the base behind us a shaken hornet's nest...
Edit: (after re-reading a few earlier snippets)
- We still need to neutralize the enemy listening post in their totality, right? Do we really want an unknown force reacting to the assault from behind our fireteam?
Edit #2: I just tempted Murphy, didn't I?

Hm... there is a plan forming in my head, but... even when the update mentioned some of the girls being sneakier than others (at least that was how I understood it), they have all the same Stealth-skill on the sheets.
Hm...
[X]Have Abigail keep an eye on the belt-fed gunner while Sophia and Sarah take out the two guards sneakily; Annabelle covers them. At the same time, Shelby moves onto the balcony and takes down the gunner; Abigail shoots him if he notices the approach. Hide the bodies out of sight and proceed to find out what is happening inside the building.

It might be too late to propose a custom plan already, but I fancy this idea for some reason. If it is not possible to pull off, @theJMPer, please tell me so I can vote for something different. I do think this group should be able to do it, though.
Now that I look at it again, it is probably just expanding the option where they take down the two guards... but I like it nonetheless.
