Scenario: Ukrainian Blues - Battle Of Donetsk Airport

[Tomas]

Hi guys,

so I've just created scenario.

The Ukrainian Blues
Date: October 14, 2014
Battle Location: Donetsk Airport, Ukraine
Battle Type: Ukrainian assault vs Rebel defend

Description: The battle takes place during the Donbass War, as both Ukrainian pro-government forces and self-declared Novorossiyan state clash to take over control of numerous cities.

Despite the ceasefire agreements, the battle goes on. The current scenario depicts Second Battle of Donetsk Airport, where DPR army tries to fend off a well organized assault by Ukrainian Army, which is struggling to retake the airport.

I just tried to recreate something from the today's Ukrainian battlefield. So I've created the Donetsk Airport map - the place where first Battle of Donetsk too place earlier this year and the second one battle still goes on.

The scenario is supposed to be played as Ukraine only.

I tried to keep the TOE and units real as much as possible. As the sources are bit scarce on numbers and other things, it might differ from what is currently going on.

The scenario is supposed to be a bit hard for the player (Ukraine).

The map and scen occupy the slot #350 in Maps and Scenario folders.

Any comments, results, suggestions are more than welcome as the scenario will probably need some minor adjustments

EDIT: Corrected version 2 is attached.

Changes:
- Some very minor cosmetic changes to map
- Main terminal building VP scoring is now doubled
- Reaction turn is now fixed for DPR units, so most of them stay in place
- Better positioning for DPR forces, opfire tweaks
- Ukrainian forces now have two ammo containers
- Ukraine gets smoke arty barrage on turn 0
- Some DPR units have the dated PTRD '41 instead of RPGs now

EDIT: Final version 3 is attached.

Changes:
- Added some barbed wires to simulate some roadblocks around the airport
- DPR forces now field D-30s instead of BM-24s, it's more realistic according to recent intel
- Some minor repositioning of the DPR troops, they cover the access to the airport bit better now
- Some changes to waypoints and some other minor stuff
- Some other minor fixes


Thank you all for your input, i consider the scenario now to be final.
