A view from the other side-Battle of Wadi Al-Batin
The Battle of Wadi Al-Batin ("Fright Night") (not to be confused with the 1st Cav probing action a few days earlier, already a scenario in the game) was the closest Iraq came to winning a battle in the Gulf War. Using a reverse-slope defence, the Iraqi commander suckered the Americans into a close-quarter duel, disabling two Abrams tanks (the only ones lost to enemy fire in the whole war). Only seven Abrams tanks were hit during the whole war, making this battle the closest America came to defeat. It was a small, short, but intense encounter. As the Iraqi commander, can you decisively defeat the American advance and save the day for your country?
