A Challenge for Airborne Rifles

[Airborne Rifles]

Ok, finally finished. Really fun scenario. I enjoyed playing the infantry-heavy defenders against the Russian armored onslaught. Overall my paratroopers did very well. I set up a series of engagement areas at the various choke-points on the map supported by atgms. I used my AT platoon and my tanks to fight the shaping battle forward of the MLR. That cost me some Sheridans, but also mostly destroyed the enemy recon. The Russians did manage to infiltrate my lines through the woods, but I was able to beat them back. I had one platoon wiped out entirely except for the sniper, my recon platoon took heavy losses, and my ATGM jeeps also suffered, though not critically. A couple other platoons took heavy losses, but on the whole I think the Task Force is postured for follow on operations. Awaiting my next mission!
