I am happy to hear that you have been trying these out, they can give a very rewarding and eye opening experience. Regarding the above... you can always write down an SOP for these detached units. An SOP such as, "Squad 1: Return to Platoon HQ if situation 1 or 2, advance to ___ if situation 3", etc. They might have options to retire or take up another action under differing circumstances. At least for Western style armies... the Soviets, and probably the Italians with a stricter centralized control would not have this flexibility, at least not at the platoon level. Bil

@beeronOutstanding! Great read so far, and excellent graphics. I know how much time these can take, so you have my respect. Bil

@John Kettler as always appreciate your replies! The analysis posts are of course most welcome. Best, Bil

You can be t more than that Karl.

T-72 should indeed be rare in GSFG. I put them in the NTC Campaign because that is what the Opfor used. Bil

Congrats! Don't get cocky kid. Seriously.. good job on that scenario, it was designed to be a challenge and looks like you handled it well. Bil

I think Between Two Fahrbahns would be a perfect subject.. both for scenario size, and for knuckle biting excitement. Post a link please. Bil

Have fun with the game guys.. please post your reactions! Curious if you think its as cool as we do.

I lost three out of six of my Dragon Teams. I just didn’t dwell on it.

@The_Capt.. Warren, this has been a brilliantly written and presented AAR. Bravo. I actually laughed out loud a couple times. Well played game as well... as always you have been a worthy opponent. Bil

Yep, I have a couple more turns to post and then Warren and I will start the debrief. I'll get to those tomorrow...in the meantime I'm going to go read Warren's thread and the peanut gallery. Bil

The Twenty-Fifth - Thirtieth Minutes - The Wheels Come Off “Be the hunter not the hunted: never allow your unit to be caught with its guard down.” James Mattis My AH-1 has been flying overhead for several turns now, and as far as I know this BMP is its only kill. But in its defense it was being chased by AA missiles for most of the time it hung around and did lose it's mate so I'm lucky it made even this kill. After that the wheels started to come off.... ...one of my M-150s exchanged ATGMs with one of Warren's BMPs... ...both missiles passed each other on flight... the M-150's hitting a tree... sigh... ...of course Warren's didn't miss. Damn! One of Warren's T-64Bs... (in fact one that had been beaten up, in what seems like another life now, by my 1st Platoon tanks) fired and destroyed one of my M-60s still sitting on the Short Route... damn. That means 2nd Platoon has now lost three of four tanks. Triple damn. Now with Tank Section 2 joining in on the fun I order all four 1st Platoon tanks back into the breach! Tank 1/9 had it's career cut short when it exchanged rounds with a T-62... 1/9 fired first, however... it missed.. the T-62 did not. Uh-oh... have I pushed too far? Third Platoon's tanks have also started moving down the highway...

Et tu @Holien?

You cut me to the quick...

Ummm... nope. Once these are posted that's it for me.. look forward not back. I even ripped the rearview mirrors off my car. Interesting idea.. sounds like a lot of work. I will consider it.
