Not for the totally underdog player though. NK could probably do it pre M1 Abrams, with a sagger barrage?. Not so much once those beasts are common. You need a reliable tank-killer ATGM and/or MBT that are at least evens to his.

I use the Fagot ATGM, its handy and accurate but struggles to penetrate a K1 tank(similar to Abrams). Usually have to gang up on them with inf, button them and then bring a Chonma or Pokpung ho to finish it off. I was looking forward to the challenge of an Abrams but the US didnt use armor in this crossing battle.

Just finished. Marginal Victory, Im quite pleased with that. 6400 pts to 1600 US.

I was bogged down by a stiff counter by the two hex objective groups and wasnt able to move out. Lost a few APC's and light tanks and mixed infantry and was unable to support with my MBT's as there were too many Javelins about. Was able to pin the enemy down and with arty and SU-7 jets then able to sneak an APC onto the last hex group. After battle map showed I had the enemy bottled up and it finished 2 turns early.

Thanks for the tactics everyone, was able to use a combination of them to beat the AI.
