Graviteam Tactics Mius Front - How to Tow AT Guns

War gamers tend to consider AT guns as static weapons, mostly a system that is deployed at the start of an scenario and never to move too much.

On the move.

Combat Mission Battle for Normandy Battle Pack 1

And yes, Battlefront continues to occupy an special place in hour war-gaming diet, this time with an scenario pack (link here).

ARMA 3 - Eden 3D Editor

A great update for Arma 3 has come out a few days ago and the centerpiece was a new 3D Editor that makes things very easy for mission creators.

Placing a character, rotating it, giving it a certain height. All at the scenario creator's fingertips in a very well thought interface.

Arma 3 - Special Forces Short on Demo Charges Need Only a Radio - AAR

Running this scenario (a modded version with stuff from SimHQ.com and Red Hammer Studios), I used artillery with guided munition.

Saving Basra - Steel Armor Blaze of War

December 1985. After years of war, the Iranians are feeling the pinch of social unrest. Determined to finish Saddam Hussein and his Army, chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani made it clear that the only way to finish the war would be an attack on Basra. The first phase of the operation would be crossing the the Shatt al-Arab river, south of Basra (Operation Karbala 4) and to turn the Iraqi defensive positions centered on Basra.

The lead tank of an Iraqi T-62 platoon moves west to be debriefed at the tactical command post.

The Iraqis understood the importance of defeating the Iranian offensive right at the onset of the operation. Iraqi General Maher Rashid led a successful clearing of the Iranian bridgehead. This blog entry shows how that fighting may have looked like from the Iraqi side.

Part rescue mission of IDF troops trapped in the outpost system at Mt. Hermon, part tactical re-capture of strategical real estate, this scenario is a great representation of this bloody encounter in the Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War (1973).

In real life, the briefing of the 317th Parachute Brigade was interrupted and never completed because of a Syrian air raid. This left the battalion and company commanders with just marching orders but not too much information about the enemy and the essence of the mission.
