    I think SOPs would go a long way in solving this problem (and others).

    Okay, first things first.
     
    7,500 points? What was I thinking? That's not a lot. Not by a stretch. I was imagining a multi-company engagement with arty and air. All inside of 30 minutes. Sigh. I'm not a big QB player. And it shows. 7,500 points buys a single understrength company.
     
    My plan...I want to bombard DMS' setup zone, as allowed, in the second minute of the game. That's just to piss him off! Once he's off his equilibrium, it will be that much easier to topple him! Also, I need something to fight his Tunguskas. Of COURSE he's going to buy some. Wouldn't you?
     
    Also, I'll lay some smoke on his side of the bridge, so I can get my commander on it.
     
    Based on my self-imposed point austerity, all I can afford is a 4 piece 120mm mortar platoon. So, that's in.
     
    For combat power, I've got 2 Bradley (APS) mech platoons, but understrength. 2 tracks, 2 squads, each platoon.
     
    A third platoon is made up 3 elite APS Abrams. Hey! C'mon, it's MY AAR! These are the guys I'm counting on. Elite, highly motivated, +2. Even if their tank gets destroyed, I'm gonna ammo them up and send them in. They told me that's how they want it.
     
    A company HQ ties together the three platoons, adds an FO (to call in the mortars), and is mounted in an ERA Brad.
     
    Between the Abrams, the Brads' TOW missiles, and the Javelins, Ima gonna blow stuff up!!!
     
    Oh, I've added a little razzle dazzle. Since DMS will be looking for a Humvee, I added 3 more. Each stuffed with an elite .338 lapua sniper team. Yeah, these are the "snatch victory from the jaws of defeat" guys. If DMS manages to get his commander near the bridge, I'm going to have 3 sniper teams in overwatch waiting to perforate the bridge of his nose. Ouch. That metaphor hurt nearly as much as .338 Lapua does. The Humvees should confuse him. The snipers should screw him. Yeah, it's my "Screwed and confused" tactic. They teach this at Sandhurst. Or they should.
     
    Oh, I tossed Mk19 grenade launchers onto the top of the Humvees. Because otherwise they look naked.
     
    Pix in a bit.
     
     
    Ken out.

    And then you turn all fixed wing assets into the Luftwaffe of WW2 and look how good hat turned out.

    I saw your derision about air superiority but frankly you (and many other ground troops) automatically assume your NOT going to get attacked by large number of aviation assets. If I remember correctly the last time the Army fought when it did not have air superiority was 1943.

    Go back and look at the overl effectiveness of CAS and you will see that long range interdiction of logistics has played a much more vital role. Really the arty and helps you control are better at danger close attacks than anything the AF could bring. Our job is to make sure that you DONT get Attacked and attrit them so you don't have to fight an equal force.

    There is a reason the AF was pulled from the army you really want an Arty specialist trying to lay out doctrine for an Air Force
