Operation Pathfinder
by Apocalypse

 

I. Situation

    Friendly forces are currently set to the east of Imarat, postured to attack to seize key terrain that will enable follow-on forces a swift transition through the area, along Highway 5 and Highway 2.

 

We have detected an enemy mechanized infantry battalion defending the area, with BMP-3, T-90 tanks, and a truck-mounted scout platoon forward.

 

We have detected enemy scouts operating between PL BRONZE and PL PLATINUM, with small teams and ATGM trucks, and we suspect platoon-sized disruption forces to be positioned between PL SILVER and PL BRONZE, with their main defensive force around the town of Chaman.
    
II. Mission:

 

Attack to seize OBJ BULL no later than H+90 minutes to enable follow-on forces freedom of movement.

    b. Preseve Combat Power for follow-on operations (40)

        12x 227mm Rockets

I can put in one ... would this be to your liking:

 

Or you would prefer something else ?

Also as you know if I put one in that would mean that your Map file is ok but your would have to make a new Plan file ?

[Apocalypse 31]

Just to set expectations.

 

This scenario has been played several times for Kanium and also many times on TankSim. The last time this scenario was played during Kanium there were several members who complained that the scenario was "boring" and that they "didn't see a lot of action". 

 

With a fully manned team it should be extremely easy and fairly quick. It's not a massive tank battle that will last more than an hour and more closely depicts doctrinal Russian fighting by using mechanized infantry supported by tanks. Since no one reads briefings (and I didn't do a great job describing the enemy in para 1.) here's a quick depiction on how the enemy will fight. 

 

This scenario is also dynamic and the enemy will react towards your plan. They will detect your main body and reinforce their battle positions as necessary as well as counter-attack as they are able to. 

 

[tankenator]

13A please

 

[RedFox]

1-3B please good sir.

[ErnieSquid]

I'll go in 1-3B as a gunner!
