__TEAM YANKEE: THE SAME OLD*
_____________WAY*
*
________Task Force 1-78*
______________vs.*
______Soviet Tank Regiment*
*
Date: Aug 10, 1987*
Location: Langen, E. Ger.*
*
(See special note at bottom before playing.)*
*
The battalion commander has attempted to out-guess his Soviet counterpart
and assumes that the next Soviet push will be through the Langen gap near
the town of Langen just east of the Nebal Valley.*
*
Team Bravo with two ITVs are deployed across the clearing from Team Yankee
in ambush positions. A platoon from the 3rd Armored Cavalry armed with the
TOWS on their Bradleys and infantry Dragon launchers are located across
the from Team Yankee and further up the gap. They will be the first to
engage the Soviets and are to attempt to disrupt the enemy's approach
using hit and run tactics by disappearing into the forest then at the
appropriate time re-emerge and inflict damage on the enemy flank or trailing
units.*
*
Company D 1-78 Mechanized Infantry along with the remnants of the company
C are deployed in the town of Langen. Their positioned has been reinforced
by a protective minefield laid on the east side of the town and the
anti-tank ditch to the north of the town. 4 ITVs are situated on Hill 358
to the north of Langen adding to their defense.*
*
Team Yankee is situated on the south side of the gap along the northern
point of a hil just to the south of Langen.*
*
The plan is to force the Soviets to pass through the gap to the south of
Team Yankee and use Team Yankee to destroy any units that enter that gap.*
*
The Task Force has artillery on-call with FASCAM mines when they are
needed. It's 2330 hours, a rain has ensured that the hot Soviet tanks will
make excellent targets in the dark...a soviet barrage announce the start
of the attack.*
*
Keep the Soviet forces from breaking out into the Nebal Valley to the west.*
*
Based on the Harold Coyle book "Team Yankee".*
*
(Special note: While this scenario plays reasonably well at the default
preference settings I STRONGLY recommend that Team Yankee scenarios be
played with altered PREFENCE settings. To compensate for the "dumb" AI
SP2 possesses and to give the Soviets a fighting chance the human player
should set the PREFERENCES to the following:*
*
US Forces*
---------*
Searching          70-90*
Hitting            70*
Route/Rally        100*
Troop Quality      100*
Tank Toughness     100*
Infantry Toughness 100*
*
Soviet Forces*
-------------*
Searching          200*
Hitting            90*
Route/Rally        110*
Troop Quality      105*
Tank Toughness     130*
Infantry Toughness 120*
*
These settings appear to be lopsided in favor of the
Soviet forces, but after playtesting with these
settings many times they don't really give the Soviet
side much of a advantage. It just gives them a
better chance of surviving for the sake of the battle.*
*
If you play Team Yankee versus human opponents all
settings should be set to 100 or whatever you agree
to with your opponent.*
*
At present all Team Yankee scenarios should use the
above settings. This scenario does play fairly well
with all settings at 100.)*
