"An army equipped with vintage M-48 tanks ......"

[wulfir]

Ok, just for laughs - I started a small generated campaign...

US Army vs Iraq,
Feb-March, 1987
10 battles
Starting core of 5000 battle pts.
I will use only computer generated scenarios, no editing of number of turns, VH locations etc (being a bit lazy).

World War III has broken out in Europe. The Western Powers, spearheaded by the USA launch an offensive in the Middle East, one operation is against Iraq having sided with the Eastern Block. Most of the deployed western units are reserve formations, one such unit is the 81st Armoured Brigade (seperate), fielding mostly older equippment it arrives on the battlefield somewhat understrength...
