Generated campain 2006
After several try and experiments I've started a generated campain : 2006-2009 Russia (human) against USMC , Germany, Poland. Premise is - territorial dispute about Koenigsberg/Kaliningrad caused a series of border incidents (not very realistic, I know).
STarting core forces:
4 T90M+ (with Arena and advanced ERA)
4 BRM-3(VR) (recon vehicle with VRISS and simple ERA)
battery of Uragan (bomblets MRL)
battery of Pions (203mm SPA for pinpoint strikes)
According to Russian military doctrine the forces are artllery heavy. I'll locate the enemy with mobile forces and hit them with artillery.
First battle - meeting engaemnet vs Germany
I have bought a lot of ammo (2 trucks per Uragan and 1 per Pion), and some elements of the rifle company(Overstrength platoon) I've deployed rifle elements on the north to defend my v hexes and core to the south , aganst majority of the enmy hexes)
The plan was: If enemy attack north, suck him in into defence , suppress with arty and flank with core force.
If the enemy attcak south or both north and south just fight him head to head.
Well, it happnens the enmy strkie south. I've moved my recon BRM forward, and one by one lost them all. At least half of them due to my incompetence - I hoped that if enemy havn't shot at them he didn't see them. Wrong. Another really stupid move - after I lost one BRM I moved another into the same place trying to locate its killer, hoping for its 50 vision. Well I just lost another.
Tanks however did the job. One by one they killed Leopards1A's in long range gunfights and fixed infantry in place, allowing me to put Uragan to use. Pions were not expirienced enough and still couldn't hit a s**t.
Marginal victory - all hexes taken, 4 BRM lost.
