Defence of Narva_31

Mission Summary : 

Short history:
Recent elections in Eesti have futher made it clear that their new Goverment is agaisnt Russian influence. They are planning of cancelling many of the contracts between countries and this has caused a rather agressive reaction from Russia. They are arranging a huge wargame basically next to Eesti border, massing their forces as show of their cababilities. This caused a huge concern in Eesti and Goverment is apparently unwilling at this time to futher provoke Russia and has chosen not to respond in kind.  Instead they have send a warning order to all reserves giving them instructions where and how to proceed would a call to arms be sounded. However they are telling that this is just a wargame and show of force and that there is nothing to be concerned about. Meanwhile NATO has send warning to Eesti that Russia is actually planning to attack. Eesti Gruggingly agreed to allow more NATO forces to be moved  to Eesti but denied arrangement of wargames or deployment of forces.

TF Kanium was assigned to move into NARVA region with task to wait until futher orders.

A23, please

 

[Gibsonm]

You may want to update the underlying map with the "delta" I sent @Nike-Ajax to fix a bunch of bridges that don't line up, etc.

 

Pretty sure the area I fixed included near the lake.

[Tankleader]

Hello All,

  Thanks for letting me join.  It has been a few years and am having to relearn things that used to be second nature.  Looking forward to the next one.

 

Thanks

Heh, guys. Turns out, my last minute scrambles caused quite bit of problems.  Someone might have noticed that the theme didn't match one in the pictures posted here.  Thats because the map change changed also my modified theme - something that I totally didn't realize.  Hence I had lots of problems with traction and getting units to move as I needed.  But most importantly...  map was littered with stones, and trees were awfully...  bushy as on normal map.    On my modified theme, those were supposed to be High vis, and with snowy ground. 

 

Fortunately I had some cheats...  I was able to keep momentum on for you guys.  Not to run it to a stalemate as so many times before.  But sadly I think it probably wasn't very fun with the bushy trees.   And that I had to cheat.   Something that I was supposed to be able to go without. But it's good that it was there.

 

I honestly don't understand how I managed to pull this off as well as it came.   End result was pretty much what I had hoped for, that both parties were severely depleted..  but that soviet steamroll was "nearly"  unstobbable. You nearly made it stall for good in several occasions. 

 

I hope you guys enjoed. I am sorry that I managed to fuck up with the theme...  and sorry for Wiesel guys...  I actually found it from my memo to have it M113 tow instead that it would be playable..  but in my rushing get this ready I had not forgotten how awfull it might be to have AI vehicle there.  

 

Perhaps next time this will be on American cold war forces.  M1A1s..  and M113s...   and hopefully...  on correct fucking theme that time.  If we ever play this again.   

 

 

PS..   I think I did run out of waypoints for redside.  I had nearly 500 preplanned waypoints. And I found myself deleting useless waypoints just in case since my units seemed...  unresponsive at times at half way of mission.  😂

I doubt it. I've used over a thousand without running out.
