Battle of the Bridges*
Date: 2nd August 1990**
Battle Location: Al Jahra, Kuwait**

Battle Type: Iraqi advance vs Kuwaiti delay*
*
Description: Iraqi invade Kuwait. The Hammurabi republican Guard division is leading the thrust down from the North, and the Al-Medinah division is coming from the East. The Kuwaiti army attempted to delay them around the 6th ring motorway interchanges outside Al Jahra. These are the bridges that gave the battle its name.*
*
You command a battalion sized element of the Kuwaiti 35th Armoured Brigade and must fight a delaying action in order that your fellow Kuwaitis can clear Kuwait city. Hold out as long as you can, whilst minimising own casualties. As we were caught unprepared, you must fight with what is to hand while waiting for mobilising formations come up to reinforce you.* 
*
Iraq is throwing the kitchen sink at you. It is probably best to attempt to create massive damage to his forces, while losing as few of yours as you can. Fight a semi-mobile rearguard action and then withdraw from the map. This is what happened historically. 
**
Notes: the 'Aerostat' is a blimp fitted with Ground Surveillance Radar. You have ammunition resupply at the army base.**
If  played against the AI the human player should take the Kuwaiti side. Not designed for PBEM.*
