With the 1.02 UPDATE getting built for release, I thought I would take some free time (HA!) and develop an After Action Report on one of the Linked Campaigns included in the Middle East game.
This is being played with the 1.02 UPDATE.
I will be playing the Suez Campaign, which puts you in command of a tank battalion in 1973 on the Sinai front. The campaign will play through a series of historical battles (not totally, as this battalion didn't see all the battles being portrayed), but will give a good idea of the different types of battles that will be experienced.
After the preview screen, I am taken to start the campaign.
My tank battalion will be my core unit. That means that any losses incurred over the course of hte campaign will be carried over from one scenario to the other. Of course, I will have opportunity to replace some of my losses, but I may not receive enough points to replace all my losses. Obviously, taking care of my force is essential!
Let us review the battalion:
The Tank Battalion consists of a Headquarters Company (which includes some reconnassaince elements and other support weapons), three tank companies (with Sho't Kal (Centurions)) and a Mechanized Infantry company.
A decent sized force with a good mix of weapons.
After reviewing the troops, I'm off to start the campaign. Here is the first mission:
Commando's.
Crap.
