Morning!

The battle is really starting to heat up as a group of 3 Ch'onma-Ho Ma MBT moved between the Northern/Central group and the southern group. I had just finished capturing the central V-Hexs with the Mech Inf and their APCs had dug in south of those hexes with an easy sight line on the road leading from the bridge battle. I was extremely lucky as the Javelin APC managed to knock out one MBT, and immobilize another. By then I had one AH-66 reloaded and it came running, quickly knocking out the other MBT and destroying the damaged one. The northern V-Hex was again assualted by infantry. This was a tougher fight as either by accident or design, their troops used the burning wrecks from the first assualt to move up closer to my troops. Heavy fighting saw me still victorious with minor losses and the enemy driven off. His off map artillery for some unknown reason pounded a group of buildings where my HQ was stationed. I hadn't fired from that area, none of his troops had LOS, and he still used 5 batteries to pound the area. The southern attack against my Rifle platoons has gone so badly for him that I decided to go ahead and send 3 squads forward to seize the V-hexs. If they succeed that would give me control of all three groups and hopefully end the battle. Not that I'm afraid of losing, but he can't have that many more units. All of my planes are out of ammo, with the last couple of passes being strafing runs. My MLRS on map are being reloaded by a couple of ammo trucks and I will use them on any enemy troop concentrations.

It is now turn 17 and I have control of all V-Hexs. All enemy units that are visible are either routed or retreating, and my troops are settiling into new defensive positions due to the sporadic mortar fire. Occasionally the AI will use offmap but my offmap doesn't have any fire missions so they are quickly CB. Just waiting for the battle to end or a final assualt by the enemy.

The 105 is a great gun, but dropping bridges and disabling heavy vehciles is not its strong suit.

Have you not got MLRS for that would have thought you have a lot of tank killing capability anyway, planes helos javelin & APC thats a couple of tank companies gone in quick order unless they have VIRSS

Unfortunately, my Javelin's at one point were firing from directly next to the ammo carriers. My helo's are taking forever to reload their ATGMs and my MLRS was used early in the battle to destroy large amounts of APCs. I was hoping that my 105s could take up the slack while all of these were reloading/repositioning. Also the fact that for 10 turns 5 batteries of three guns each were firing and hitting a wooden bridge and not destroying it. However, I did managed to drive at least 2 MBTs into routing due to massive application of 105s on their positions. Which, ironically enough, gave my Javelins a chance to kill them as they drove for the rear. And yes, almost every single tank that I fired on had either VIRSS or was manuevering like mad.
