Description:

Armour Attacks! Your mech battalion, part of TF2-72 has been configured into three combat teams. Team Hound Dog (2 M1 platoons and 2 BIFV), Team Heavymetal (3 M1 Platoons, 1 BIFV platoon and the engineers)). You are the commander (call sign "Timberwolf") of Team "Wolfpack" (mech heavy) which consists of one M1 tank platoon (Panzer 3), and three Bradley IFV platoons (Wolf 1 to 3). You are the advance guard of the battalion, and are currently at your point of departure on the LD (Line of departure). Team Hound Dog are on your right flank, advancing in parallel, whilst Team Heavy Metal is trailing your team and constitutes the main body. The scout platoon are screening your left flank.   It is 0530Hrs. Elements from the scout platoon (2 Humvees and a BIFV), call sign "Hawkeye" are scouting just ahead of your advance guard. Five minutes ago you received a garbled report from "Hawkeye" the HQ of the scout platoon that they had made contact with enemy recon elements at GR908461. Then all radio contact was lost. Your XO has expressed concern that having lost the recon battle your unit's intel on the current situation is sparse. Battalion has tasked you to advance to contact with the enemy mechanised units heading into this sector. On contact you are to develop the situation as you deem appropriate with a view to either destroying the enemy units, or fixing them to allow the battalion to manoeuvre around their flanks.  It is 0530Hrs. You have twenty minutes to prepare your FRAGO and brief your platoon leaders… Playing The ScenarioBest played H2H – either RL or WEGO. There are several Red AI plans but no Blue AI plans therefore only play against Red AI. SCENARIO LOAD TIMES WARNING!!This is a very large, well huge map with a fair few units, although not unmanageable. However, due to the scale of the map the scenario will take a long time to load. For my PC with 2Gb RAM and Pentium 4 3Ghz processor it took 15 minutes to load. Once loaded it takes a minute or so to save a game file. From this save game file it will load in around a couple of minutes. So when loading it for the first time go make yourself a drink and sit back and chill out. Mind even when loaded it might not play out all that way on your PC especially if your PC is at the bottom end of the spec.

Richard Gadd 2008-11-10 19:00:56 Scenario will not load. Gets stuck at 15 percent on load screen. Fast computer.

James Goodman 2008-11-11 06:49:24 One of the all time best.

George McEwan 2008-11-11 11:32:13 Hi James You do have to leave it for a while. It loads for me OK but I've had other people say it's not loading. Fire it up then walk away and do something else for 15 minutes plus :)

Normal Dude 2008-11-12 08:39:09 One of the best scenarios ever. Period.

gregory KELLER 2008-11-17 14:10:46 Hi George? pretty good setup.I played it blue elite.Became a bit slower near the end. Did not interfere too much with the mouse movement. Got all objectives but ALEX, GOLD and GAIL with a minor defeat. Tanks are coming at a fast rate and even with 11 knocked out with 11 armored veh. for 1 tank lost and 6 bradley, I wonder how I got only a minor defeat. should have been total defeat. Had a great time.I recommend it, even if its drawback is the 10 to 15 minutes to load it. Having a drink waiting should help to face disaster in the next 2 hours. Fantastic battle George !!!

Gregory Nelson 2008-12-31 20:29:13 One of my all time scenarios! Easily the most brilliant armor-centered scenario out so far. Great work

Stein 2009-01-09 01:56:49 I enjoyed playing this szenario as blue versus AI very much. Especially I appreciate very much, that it is not that 'we blast masses of useless red armor' thing. Red has a pretty good chance to give equal counterpart to blue.

Delwin Shand 2009-01-14 14:03:57 A nice generous map with a good blend of maneuver area and defensive terrain. Quite balanced as lack of caution and poor maneuver choices will punish the Blue player with casualties due to Syrian ambush points and counterattacks. On my quad core duo computer, the load time for the inital scenario load was about 4 minutes and 45 seconds to reload off a game save file. Well done.
