Operation Whetstone by Apocalypse This mission concept was originally developed by the UK FIGHT CLUB and played in Combat Mission Professional. This is a port to Steel Beasts, where the entire mission could be played in a single battle - utilizing the strengths of Steel Beasts to fight an entire mixed UK Battlegroup concept to see how results could be achieved when an entire Battlegroup could be utilized simultaneously instead of cut into smaller Combat Mission sized scenarios. This is a large mission and I would recommend at least 4 players (we played with eight) Forces Available ISTAR Scout Platoon -12x Jackal (50cal) & 2-man Dismount teams (1x AT4) and Quadcopters -3x MB300 (Javelin Teams) -2x 81mm Mortars Light Infantry Coy -6x Bushmaster (8-man Squad, 1x NLAW ea) -3x MB300 (Javelin Teams) -2x 81mm Mortars Combined Arms Company -2x4 Boxer Platoons (6-man Squad, 1x NLAW ea) -3x CR2 Tanks -2x 81mm Mortars -6x 15mm AS90 (Offscreen) SITUATION A Donovian Mechanized Infantry Battalion is moving towards the area with the intent of clearing Copehill Down and seizing Objective 2 - the critical intersection near RTE 303 and 360. The MIBN is organized into three companies of BMP-2 and supported with a platoon of T-72B3 tanks. They also have a reconnaissance Company of 3x platoons of Tiger trucks and MTLB forward observers. We have also identified a flight of MI-24's that will potentially support the attack into the AO. We can expect the Donovians to use two companies as a fixing force while enabling the third company to seize objective 2. Mission: Defeat DONOVIAN MIBN attacking into the AO Tasks: 1. Retain Copehill Down 2. Retain OBJ 2 (RTE 303/360) Want to join the joint the fun? Checkout the TankSim Discord: https://discord.gg/kpnZUUFce7
