New scenarios "Red Dawn Series"

[Miketee10022]

Old Ironsides is an *excellent* scenario. Very hard to win more than a marginal victory (as the US player) in its original form. I have had fun tweaking this one, where the US Force is augmented with captured enemy weaponry - some anti-tank guns, a few captured (from the Cubans in other battles!) lighter vehicles (BRDM-2's) and a few outdated helicopters to ferry troops around. Add some Piper cubs for spotting, and it's a real slugfest! I set the Abrams to only go after the heavier vehicles and let the missles, Cobras, and AT-guns pick off the lighter APC's. Lastly, I add my favorite piece of game-chrome: motorcycles! Yeah - a couple of local bands of Hell's Angels get into the fray at some point. They give meaning to the phrase: live fast, die young, and make a good looking corpse!

Anyway - thanks again for this amazing series of scenarios!
