Status: offline 		In this walk through you manouvre a BAOR Bde counterattack into the Flank of the 48 Guards Tank Regt moving west along the A4 Autobahn.
Ivan is unaware of your 22nd Armd Bde moving to contact.. Perfect surprise'

Background Briefing:
1/ Lead elements of the 22nd Armoured Brigade - a Battlegroup consisting of 2 Mech Inf. Co's an Armoured Sqd, accompanied by their Recce and Mortars are already deployed.
Looking at the map I've blown several Bridges. I have a Company of Scots Guards with their Milans and Mortars Dug in around Greene, overwatching the blown Bridges and A4 Autobahn - N238 interchange. This Company will be purely Defensive, a blocking force to the VP behind them. I have a Sqd of Royal Engineers that will supplement them.

In the centre is a Scimitar Troop on watch - no shooting - I can't defend everything. A risk I'll take as there are no VP's around the area to defend or take.

I have cross-attached a Company of Scots Guards to the Bn with the Squadron (Company) of the QOH (Queens own Hussars) along with a Mortar Plt and Lynxs for support.

Further south, the A4 Autobahn runs past Dorfmark and over bridges, before running through to the southern VP of Langenselbold.

The off map Artillery first Fire missions will be to lay FASCAM mines to the bridges, then laydown Smoke on top.
The Lynx Flights will cover the southern exiits - the perfect mousetrap.

Status: offline 		Scots Guards slip into Dorfmark, QOH - Challengers, pour fire into the T80s trapped in the mines. North, the Milan team has its work cut out under the cover of Company Mortar smoke.

Comment: NATO Artillery is not as plentiful as PACT but it's usually of heavier Calibre and targeting is more flexible - that is, if you target a unit in a hex and it moves to an adjacent one still under observation, it will redirect fire onto it. Observed FASCAM and minefields targeted with smoke and HE are a great game changer or (force multiplier - they can wreak havoc if Ivan runs into them.

Time for a brew and Johnny Walker..
North, the other T80 Bn is pouring into the valley of death, to be met with HE and the arrival Lynxs..

Status: offline 		A sweep through Langenselbold, the Challengers and accompanying Recce Troop move up and through towards Bollensen. This is search and destroy,
hopefully against Ivan's RAG.
North, Ivan is still stuck on the riverbanks attempting river crossings.

Ivan sits smugly on the Northern VP..

The LYNXs go back for another resupply, The Scots Guards are dying on their feet. No retreat, if I move them under enemy observation they will get hammered.
Damn those f@cking Engineers! wept Townsend..

57% Marginal?, I'll keep going,
I feel Ivan is on his last legs, and surely the rest of 22nd Brigade will arrive..

93% Decisive Victory.
one single Ivan left.

comment: So typical of NATO's predicament, to hold on until the big boys roll in.
In the end there was an avalanche of reinforcements (that I hardly used. Air support was lavish in the end - refreshing to have.

Another great scenario from MR, might play it again as Ivan.
