SCENARIOS!

Yeah I had similar results in play testing, but I've also played from the ESC/Russian side and the dang Apaches tore me up while my MI-24s retreated and barely got in a good shot. I couldn't make any headway until the Tunguska's came on the board.

Also don't underestimate what the M-777s can do to the ESC/Russians when a barrage is concentrated at a chokepoint.

Overall in all of my playtests neither side escaped with much left in the end.

yeah, those M-777 kills everything without cover. They made a high toll freeway.

The Arena ADS seems somewhat over-effective in this game (which can also be seen in the "Confronting the Angry Bear" Scenario).

From the readme:

2/11 ACR November 1976

This scenario is another of the "what if" variety and based on my recollections as to serving in the 2/11/ACR along the East German border(1974-1976).

Only the actual combat units in this Cav Squadron are included with all squadron level logistical support eliminated,but bearing that in mind, the actual remaining TO&E of the 2nd Squadron is represented here. Off map artillery is courtesy of our M109A1 "How" Battery,and the 41st Artillery Battalion,based 2 blocks away from our garrison HQ in Bad Kissigen,Nord Bayern.

The East German forces are only a guestimate but we were definately outnumbered.

Our Sheridan platoons actually had 9 vehicles but the Mobhack formations only have 10 slots so I couldn't include the second platoon M113A1 in the obat012. Both scout teams are included in one APC.

The generic map was made by Epoletov(thanks!) This scenario is based upon the modified and included obat012. Make sure you have a backup installation of SPMBT before you try this one. Despite this being a fantasy scenario,please feel free to modify this scenario any way one see's fit as to improving it,especially from the East German perspective as to accuracy.

Our G-2 didn't exactly share with the line troops all they knew as to the disposition of the enemy forces across that 1500 mile long double fenced minefield. Morale in the U.S. Army was rather low at that junction of history,and it's my guess they didn't want to frighten us any more than we already were.

BTW,in 1976,I was in the 1st platoon of Fox Troop,my vehicle was Fox16. I was the gunner for the Platoon leader. When I arrived in the sping of 1974,I served briefly in Fox troop to qualify vehicle Fox 33 for annual tank gunnery,then was tranferred to the HQ Troop to be a member and eventual team leader in the Redeye section for the next 18 months. In January 1976,I asked for and received a transfer back to Fox Troop. My ETS was in early December,1976.

Our organization was:

Headquarters Troop

Echo Troop-18 M551A1 Sheridans

Fox Troop-as above

Golf Troop-as above

H Company-17 M60A1 Tanks

"How" Battery-6 M109A1 155mm Howitzers

Redeye Section-6,2 man Redeye missle teams. 6 M551A2 Jeeps with trailers carring 6 missles per team.

Here's an update to this scenario with the preferences correctly set and a cleaned up map for quicker action. Just overwrite the old dat file.

I had a typo in the original readme. Our jeeps were the M151A2 models. Top speed of 72 mph on the hardball.

2/11TH ACR Nov 1976 Version 2

East Germany/Soviet assault versus U.S. defend

This is another modification of the original fictional 298 scenario. The map and the exact composition of the Warsaw Pact forces remain fictional as well but this scenario is a lot more realistic if the "balloon" ever did go up. This time the East Germans will have to breach the very double fence and minefield they constructed to keep their people from escaping into the Federal Republic of Germany. They will also have to do it under barrage of the 41st Artillery Battalion M110 Howitzers. This fence was about 1500 miles in length.

The U.S. order of battle remains the same but the Warsaw Pact has an additional 2 companies of engineer tanks and 2 companies of mechanised engineers.

Once again,this scenario is based on the modified 012 obat. Be sure to not use with the regular installation of SPMBT.

Only played half a dozen turns or so so far but big Wulfir this one is great fun. Nicely pitched need to think a bit & get those light tanks in the right places.
