"An army equipped with vintage M-48 tanks ......"

[wulfir]

second battle done...

Reparied my damaged units, and added a National Guard Mech Co(-) (HQ and two platoons)...

Assault mission,
the map generated was again hilly, with quite a lot of rough terrain and no roads. Republican Guard infantry and T72s were dug in, mostly behind a stream I had to cross..., 26 turns.

Purchased mostly Air and Arty for support, along with some engineer capability...

The sneaky AI played like a real Iraqi. I encountered mined VH flags and the AI kept pounding my advance element with arty and mortars. Lost quite a few units..., including all but one of the Recon Plt Humwee's..., and two M-48 tanks killed..., with two more damaged. The recently added National Guard Company(-) took a lot of losses, squads heavily reduced and 3 M113 lost.

I did not manage to capture all VHs..., here Abrams tanks would have been much welcomed!
