I had so much fun editing this scenario that I have to share it. I've just submitted it to SteelBeasts.com and it will be available for download soon.
A cavalry troop finds itself on the wrong side of a canal. The race is on for a crossing. At stake is not only the flank of the main body but the lives of your troopers.

My AAR will be delivered at a later time. I just don't want to spoil the scenario for you in case you are interested in playing it.
Stay tuned for an update with a link to the download.
Cheers,
Looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the enemy doesn't bypass Heineken and use the bridge a little further South on the highway.
I suspect they'll turn SW just to accommodate you. :)
By the way, appreciate the new "click here to prove you aren't a robot".
ReplyDeleteMuch better than keying in numbers/codes that may or may not be clear. :)
Gave it a play through, and just barely pulled it out. Survived with 4 fully-mission capable vehicles.
ReplyDeleteHi Mark,
ReplyDeleteThat would have made a great scenario, but that would have required even more mission time (is already at 2 hours).
Hi Mike,
Thanks for playing. What score did you get?
Thanks,
Major Victory
ReplyDelete200 out of 200.
38 Kills
13 Losses
There were two enemy tanks that were able to make it across the 'damaged bridge'. One of them was within 300 meters from the objective when it was destroyed. The other was sitting idle in the back road.
Tough mission, overall.
Without giving it away, I was very surprised to see which avenue of approach the enemy attacked from.
My intelligence preparation of the battlefield would've been good, had the enemy approched from where I anticipated. Instead I got a big surprise, and lost a few vehicles because I assumed risk with an economy of force.
I opened your mission in the editor, and I enjoy the fact that you used good scripting to advance the forces. My only feedback would be to randomize their approach; sort of a realistic enemy probe. This way the mission would have more re-playability.
