I had the same experience as shahadi on the west side of the stream. One of my mobile platoons was executing what I thought was a brilliant fighting withdrawal in the north when they suddenly found themselves surrounded by a human wave of Russkis and were nearly wiped out. One squad set up a perimeter around their vehicle and held out to the end of the scenario, killing many vehicles and men. Even so, I had sufficient mobile reserves pass back through the MLR to deal with the later surprises in the rear quite handily. And the appearing Russians worked both ways, since one of my .50 cal jeeps survived the early fights of the recon forces and was hiding in the woods when the three soviet ATGM carriers appeared around it. It quickly dispatched all three. I completely understand why you designed the russian deployments as you did having struggled to get the AI to react the way I want and in this case you chose the best solution. Anyway, when the Russians made it to the MLR there were not many vehicleseft and those that we're didn't make a difference (the rifle grenades of the USMC are surprisingly effective in assaulting vehicles, even t62s. The Russian infantry was largely mowed down at close range. No where did they penetrate the line. Overall,its a fun scenario set during a time that doesn't have many hypothetical scenarios at all.
