Thank you
That was an oversight. I was actually wondering what to do with the Georgian 120mm mortar. 12 would be scaled down to 1, but I am able to get everything else to operational strength. Here, the OS would be 2. So I was wondering if I should have 2 120mm mortars for Georgia or 1. What do you guys think?
Also, this might turn out to be a good battle, and we might expand this to a campaign featuring the entire war, where the battle map we are using for the battle will be the map where most of the action takes place. For this battle, the number of turns is going to be the equivalent of daylight hours that Tskhinvali receives.
There's also no point in doing the Abkhaz campaign, because there it was just overkill. The Abkhaz Army of 5,000 could've taken 3,000-4,000 Georgians in the area. But they also had just under 9,000 Russians, and around 2,000 militia. Additionally no Georgian units in Abkhazia even came close to VDV and SpN capabilities. Most of the Georgian Army changed to civilian clothes, (ok lol) surrendered their weapons to the Russians, (only actual requirement to leave,) and left the area. There were several minor engagements, such as the inept Georgian ambush of the VDV column, (no one was killed), the initial Abkhaz charge, (1 Abkhaz killed, 2 wounded and 2 Georgians killed, 1 wounded,) etc. In case the Georgians managed to blow up the Roki Tunnel, or capture Tskhinvali, the Russians would've made an attack from Abkhazia to liberate Ossetia. The forces assigned to hold Georgian positions were woefully outmatched. On top of everything, Russian SU-25s and sometimes SU-24s were quite effective.
