Notes:
This is a small scenario of 15 turns that I found enjoyable and easy to play. The balance of forces favor the US side as the attacker, the Soviets do not have sufficient forces to punch a hole in the US line. Typically, I would expect a 3:1 ratio in an assault operation to the attacking side, in this case the Soviets. Additionally, the battle type is listed as a Soviet mobile assault; however it is a Soviet mechanized assault of BMP’s and T-72’s.

The US side is deployed on the left side of the map in fighting positions. A few Abrams and M150’s have LOS on the Soviet mechanized advance. The Cavalry scout vehicles are poorly positioned, so I moved them to increase fires on the bridges in the village. Fortunately, a section of Cobras with sixteen missiles are available.

The Cobras will seriously put a dent in the Soviet side, with Abrahams and SP ATM fires adding to the punch. Game over by the time the FASCAM are unleashed.

The US side loses 451 points due to Artillery overload, I believe as a result of the release of this scenario the game did not have artillery overload points awards. This should be corrected if the scenario is to be released again.
