Maybe the comment should have been ....."An army equipped with vintage M-48 tanks could beat the Iraqis but casualties would have been MUCH higher"

The thing is.... it's a game, and if this experiment produces challenges then that's "a good thing" (tm)

Indeed. I like the games that become a bit of a struggle...

third battle done...

meeting engagement,
visability 24, turns 17..

Refitted the core and added a SP-arty battery (M109).
Bought air strikes for the aux pts.

The low visability helped greatly, lost no tanks, but some infanterymen and a M113 to a lucky artillery hit. Most of the enemy tank fleet were T72s and all but three were killed by M-48s.
Failed to take the last VH...


I would say that the M48A5 does the trick vs the Iraqis.
Low visability helps when faced with dangerous kit like the T72, Sagger and RPG teams...
