Update:
I got a decisive victory using a medium risk strategy of deploying some of my M113s as 50 cal anti-tank units (I managed to kill 2x BTR and damage one BMP with a lucky 2 pen shot to the rear door). While this did not end well for my m113s I was still was able to stave off the soviet advance long enough for arrival and participation of my patton which saved my bacon. I only ended using about half the allotted time. I would have to say as far as difficulty goes your scenario provides a good medium-easy level of enjoyment. Its not frustratingly difficult while at the same time not so easy as to be a boring cakewalk.
I particularly liked the placement of the US scouts as I was able to use them to both carefully pick off routed units and recon from their tactically sound vantage points, only losing one to a sneaky Russian sniper.
As far as suggestions go: rather than scrapping the entire scenario you might want to consider making a harder version of the same thing and have Don or Andy include both with the next patch.
Anyways, thanks for the great scenario!
