This is a walk through played from the Red Army perspective, it may be of help to new players playing PACT.
This Senario is a 'Meeting Engagement' where both sided are moving towards contact.

1/ First move is setup time with the OMG (Operational Manover Group, - Red Army equivalent to a Kampf Gruppe, Battle Group or Task Force) strung along the road in Assault mode, these will swing south through Ostheim and up alongside the forested hills. To roar through Willmars up north to Nordheim, might be too obvious - I'll allways choose an indirect route.
I never use Hasty movement in a combat zone, Air Strikes and Arty or even an Ambush can ruin your day, try not to stack in the open and not more than two units in any other kind of terrain or Arty will hit you.
My SP Arty will target the crossroads leading into Nordheim, nothing better to shoot at, maybe get lucky or not..

You'll note the BR2 Recon is stacked with the armour, not kilometers out ahead and the SP Arty switching targets to just outside Nordheim.
The two BMP AA plts will travel up through Willmars to sniff out trouble - these are expendables, I have the excellent Tunguska's in company.
Morning Fog has burnt off.

BR2 Recon sits on the hill, a dangerously expossed spot with hindsite. BMP AA plts moving past Willmars and down the road towards Nordheim and a pair of Mi24 Krokodil's come in for support. 45 minutes elapsed with clear weather and superb visibility.

The Tunguska sits on the hilltop with a good sweep over the valley. As predicted, the BR2 Recon is wiped out by offmap battery fire..

Nothing left of the Brit Battle Group but a mortar plt and off map Arty.
My losses were high but bearable, leaving nothing on the battlefield for the Brits to salvage.

Disclaimer: I've losted count the number of times played this tutorial, both NATO & PACT, each side has a bit of everything in their Order of Battle - Tac Air, Helo, Arty, Mech and Armour; and I know each others setup and strenghts.
I love the tutorial senarios, great fun and usefull to nutout tactics and updates..
might play the Brit-NATO side next..
