Default Re: Blood on the Snow - Sino/Soviet Border Clashes

Just generalities.

I originally was planning to use the 260x100 map, and have the Reinforcement group race across the frozen river from the northern side of the map; but two problems made me rework it so they start relatively close:

1.) AI Problems
2.) Moving those BTRs across the river can get tedious.

There are two more possible historical scenarios from this map:

1.) Another skirmish on the island, which involved the use of four Soviet T-62s; the Chinese managed to hold the island this time; and they captured a T-62, which was used as a study aid for their own tank development program.

2.) The Third and final skirmish on the island; I'm not really thinking about doing this -- because this is essentially what happened -- The Soviets bought up all kinds of artillery, including a BM-21 GRAD unit and simply plastered the island in a hurricane of fire, and then walked onto the wreckage -- something like 600~ chinese died in this incident -- what would be the fun in bombarding an island for two turns and then walking over the survivors?
