Green Clutch

You were able to get to the forest roads on the other side of the river? In BTRs? I couldn't find a way through the woods to get to them.
The only way BRDMs have been useful to me is to make a covered approach to a scouting position, dismount and then move up on foot and hide. Otherwise, they just blow up when the enemy can see you.

I went back again after your first message and went balls to the wall to try and go straight through the ambush zone and push on the village and it went better than previous attempts.
I think something in the briefing that encourages maintaining momentum and forward progress might be useful.
Thanks for the feedback.

Talk about stepping in some lucky sh*t, this Sagger misses the M150 by flying between the launch tube and the hull!

Welp, I think we know how next turn starts.

I eagerly watched your Stemming the Tide video, having banged my head against that battle multiple times (the best I could pull was a draw.) I noticed the number of times you said "mad scramble" in the narration- it's a good alternate title for the scenario. 
The cool thing about that scenario is that there are 3 different AI plans and you never know which one is going to happen. You actually lucked out early game in the AI plan you went up against. Some of the other plans would have jammed you up right out of the gate!
Very much enjoy your content. Hope you do some more CMCW in the future.

I just pulled out a Tactical Victory as the Americans in the Mitteachsenbach scenario by the skin of my teeth.
This was one of those games that keeps me coming back to Combat Mission. At first it seemed hopeless. Then reinforcements started tricking in. You threw them in to the line hoping they'd hold. Some did, some didn't. The battle was in doubt right up the the very end.
There was one M60 that found a keyhole position in a village the Soviets bypassed and managed to take out 7 T-80s in the flank as they rolled past before getting knocked out!
The biggest threat to the Americans early in this battle is despair as the sheer size of the Soviet assault becomes apparent. I really didn't think I had a chance until about the 50 minute mark.

I enjoyed this scenario a lot.
I rushed one of the M60s and a squad of infantry in a M113 up to grab the woods on the right map edge at the beginning and their flanking fire on Soviet forces trying to grab. the central complex was key. The M60s I kept in the center didn't really pull their weight before getting brewed. But the one I had on the far left also did considerable damage. 
That said, without the TOW vehicles arriving the when they did, I would have been over run.
