In terms of changes. You may want to shift where your Iraqi HQ is.
What kind of cowardly commander are you? The commander's place is at the front. If its really a problem, remember that you have 2-3 turns before the Americans actually come over the hill, enough to move it north or south, out of the way of the main US assault.

You might also look at fields of fire for the Iraqi's. I realize your objective is reverse slope but at the same time you want to given them fields of fire in the reverse slope (if that makes sense).
According to accounts of the battle, the Iraqis were deployed at the foot of the ridge. I see what you mean- you want them moved up the ridge. But I have them deployed the way they really where.

Good job. I played it three times.

Overall great job though. Keep it up and I'll keep playing them.

Thanks, whenever I first made this scenario I thought it was going to be a flop (its my first historically based scenario, after all). It's nice to hear that people have bothered to play it 2-3 times, because that's when you know they're not just complimenting you to be polite.

You CAN get a decisive victory. All I can say is that MacGalin is on the right path (it's also funny that giving the AI MLRS actually hurts more than helps them). Attacking from both sides will expose the Yankee rear turret armor. Most of the killing will be done in one or two turns, so make good use of your slight number advantage, and try to pick off individual enemy as they come over the ridge by making good use of flanking fire.
