Re: Your greatest victory and worst defeat
The Iraqi army has had the Soviet version of MLRS since the early 80's I think. It is used with HE, Cluster munitions and Chemical weapons.
As another suggestion, when playing PBEM or F2F, it is always a good idea to take a peek at the encyclopedia and see what your opponent might pull out of his trick bag.
It isn't 'gamimg the system' since EVERY army keeps track of just what their opponent is running in the way of kit.
Even without the Cluster munitions, you were fried.
The terrain channelled any units coming across the river above the map center thru the gap you took. While the program won't notice that, A Human can't miss it. With more experience playing humans, you will learn not to take the most obvious route. You should have either;
gone along the top edge of the map by buying a bulldozer and plowing a route thru enough buildings to make a path for your armor ( which the US did in Iraq. That is why they bought those armored D-7's from the IDF)
Gone along the river where it curves to the left (past the Arms depot and taken the last bridge (going top to bottom).
Or taken the risk of a helio assault. I had everything covered except the top route. I really didn't think you had the experience yet to think of that, so I took a sort of chance. Sort of because if I had seen buildings being rubbled on the replay, I would have slid all my units toward the top and left the bottom bridge open. That worried me some because your arty would have been able to catch my infantry running thru the streets and hurt them pretty bad.
Do you want to finish the current game or start another?
