Well, I gave up on the next scenario - assault vs German. It was a north-south line of hills , with 1000-2000m open plane before it. There were a lot of invisible Milan ATGM entenched on the slopes. There was only one narrow path wich was less open to ATGM fire on the north, and of cause mines and barbed wire. I did not have enough infantry for infantry assault, could not use my tanks and APC because of atgm and did not have airborne forces. Attempt to suppress ATGM with arty were not successful. After two attempt I gave up. I probaly could get marginal victory, but would lose big part of my core. The mistake was in the core composition - I should have either strong infantry, including couple engineer platoons, or paratroopers with helos.
So I dropped this scenario and changed my core composition:
Insteadd of RPO Shmel/BMP-3M(VR) and ammo I get two paratroopers platoons with two Mi-17H, and several para scout teams.
After that I got assault vs USMC on the same map as in previous post. Auxillary: a whole BTR rifle company, too keep captured hexes, 9 T72M (Advanced ERA) minecleners, SEAD, 2 UAV and ammo.
The same tacktic as in the previous assault on the same map - exhaust USMC stingers with SEAD, take out SPAA with artillery, mine cleaners advance on the north, leaving BTR+rifles to defend captured squares, and two para platoons + scouts make helo drop in south. All went according to plan, armor cleared mines on the north and fought it's way to south, paratroopers foughts their way to north and meet each others in the middle, at turn 30 out od 31. The BTR rifles did their job - successfuly defend captured hexes then hidden marines started popping in. The only problem was - there were unproportional concentration of mines on the north, I lost some BTRs, and T90 to mines despite minecleaners. I would be a lot better off if I moved minecleaners from south and made airdrop on the north.
Losses: some scout teams, para-snipers, couple of auxillary minecleaners nad BTRs. Marginal victory.
