Bravo Zulu to Delta Pooh for a outstanding scenario that when to the last turn for what the player thought was a close game. Victory conditions told a different story - Red Major Victory.
1stCav initially, attacked to clear the Red defences east of Karbula, in doing so flanked the enemy in Karbula and cleared Karbula north to the Euphrates. Took an OpPause overnight for a turn. Fortified 15th Armored Brigade just north of the Euphrates was quite the tough nut to crack, multiple sortie airstikes, Attack Helo's on flank and rear into TAI, took 4th Mech to breach center obstacles to the extreme east, envelop the fortified enemy while clearing DivHQ, Arty, and ADA IOT close onto the rear of 15th Armored Brigade.
With 15th Armored Brigade now gone, 1st Cav now raced north across the Euphrates west of Baghdad in order to sieze Objectives CORVETTEand on to JAGUAR. 4th Mech, having already crossed to the west, south of Baghdad, now hooked north, crossing the Tigris, north of Badghad to secure Objectives MUSTANG and FIREBIRD. MUSTANG fell quickly, while FIREBIRD took until T29.
I must have pushed some units too hard, immediately after securing JAGUAR, One UA surrendered to the unit it had just forced to retire from the objective.
Do OBJECTIVES actually count towards wictory? Must a player garrison an objective after taking it? It did not seem like objectives did count towards anything. By the end of the scenario, I had taken all four objective, put a hurtin' on Red, but not reached PL RAMS.
Summary:
Blue - 940 VP Blue Losses - 42%
Red - 2,695 VP Red Losses = 41%
Red Major Victory
Total Combat Power:
Blue 410
Red 471
All in all a very enjoyable scenario. I need to brush up on my DA.
Thanks DP.
