Flashpoint Ukraine - Original SSI SP2 Scenario

[Oche]

Congratulations on the adaptation of this fine scenario, really enjoyed it through, got a marginal victory on turn 12. Managed to save two T-72s from those aggressive choppers. Balance of forces seem ok.

Simple quickplay scenario ended on turn 9 I think but found it dead easy.
Ukraine - Russia
Men 17 - 122
APCs 0 - 3
AFVs 1 - 7
Air 0 - 3
Points 4671 - 232
Decisive Victory

I lost 1 of the 3 forward squads as he was sacrificed to slow the advance while the 2 with RPGs moved to take position for rear shots once they past the woods. Result 2 tanks destroyed & a BMP3 immobilized.
Dealt with the helos on turn 6 then lost the ZSU-23 stupidly as forgot to replace the smoke it was fighting behind.
Killing the tanks was easy most killed by squads traping in crossfires, at least half died to rear shots.
Maybe I was lucky but turning down the range on a few units including the AAA & then letting them lose once the trap was sprung seemed to do the trick.

Nice small scenario!

I had a Marginal Victory, but I would classify it as a draw in reality. For me the difficulty level was good.

I would have done better I think, but I missed one attack helicopter that destroyed three of my tanks and forced the remaining ones to go hiding. I had run out of ZSU-23 ammo and AA missiles so that one attack helo continued to haunt me to the end. The enemy para troopers were not successfull though and got desimated along with their transport helos.


Btw. I just had to try the old SP2 scenario after I played this one and I really got my a$$ handed to me in that one. I guess my SP2 skills are abit rusty.

In that original SP2 scenario the transport helicopters came in from the South of the map and managed to land all the para troops safely with just a couple of transport helos damaged. My tanks could not hit the enemy tanks/helos all that well and the AA & AT rockets for my infantry seemed ineffective and poor in accuracy.

For some reason the Russian A0 unit "T-80UM1 Bars" appears to have no icon. Anyone else seeing this? In the oob editor the unit has an icon so I´m guessing it is a bug in the scenario not the game itself. Or then I have somehow managed to mess up my game files.
