I'd suggest a number of off map MLRS (with mostly HE) on turn 1 (edit their ROF so they empty themselves turn 1) to represent the typical Russian pre assault barrage.

No limit on points spent? Just on the parameters you specificity?

Wulfir,
SIPRI reports that in 2018 we shipped them 210 JAVELINs.

In 2019 another 150 were shipped.

In 2020/2021 another roughly 200 more are to be shipped. SIPRI should have 2020 arms transfer data available next month.

(As of this writing, the above is locked for now.)

That I can verify right now, 360 confirmed.

Also as a separate but, related issue, the Ukraine was prohibited initially from using the JAVELIN against Rebel/Russian forces until July 7, 2020.

No limits on points.

Cool deal, using this as my basic reference for inspiration.

That was my source too. It's where I read that the division was to move from T-80s directly to T-14s, but from what I can understand that seems less likely now that the whole division will be fielding T-14s...

zovs66 · #7 January 8th, 2021, 10:59 AM

T-80U's, BMP-2's and BTR-82's (if I can find those).

137th Reconnaissance Battalion
12th Guards Tank Regiment*
13th Guards Tank Regiment*
423rd Motor Rifle Regiment*
275th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment
538th Guards Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment
330th Separate Engineering Battalion

* Not sure if I can purchase an entire regiment or not, but would like it to be a presentation of all three regiments in attack mode.

In honor of the 4th Guards "Kantemirovskaya" Tank Division!

That pages is helpful, showing:

Code:

Main Battle Tanks		320 (T-80U)
IFV				300 (BMP-2)
Self-Propelled Artillery	130 (2S3 Akatsiya & 2S19 Msta)
Multiple Rocket Launchers	12 (BM-21)

Okay I have just finished purchasing the 4th Guards Tank Division. Well, almost the whole division. I made it tank heavy.

Do you wish for me to keep the purchases secret? (I can email you the details and the scenario as well) or would you rather have it posted here public?

Going to deploy and set way points.

Very mean and tough looking bunch of Guards units.

Question, since they are guards can I adjust their morale (and or experience) up say 10% or so or would you rather have it at the default?

zovs66 · #10 January 8th, 2021, 12:20 PM

Oh, I maxed out the Units at 260.

Of that there are 191 AFV's out of which 103 are tanks (only about a third of which are T-14s), 45 BMP's and 18 BTR's plus 36 tubes of artillery, 6 ATGM and 1 FOO.

Quite a powerful force!

If we had 40 + more units slots available I could have made the entire 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya order of Lenin Red Banner Tank Division! lol

It will take several hours to a day or so to deploy and set the way points.
