Red on Red mission - Hill 142

[Paper Tiger]

I have just finished adapting another mission from the Hasrabit campaign to be played as a stand-alone mission. There have been a number of changes made to this mission to make it challenging, not the least of which are reductions to Blue's OB.

Two Republican Guards companies, supported by some tanks, lots of artillery and a couple of helicopters, assault a small Rebel held village in the early hours of the morning. Their main mission is to find and kill the Rebel artillery spotter before he can start calling in missions on the Loyalists forces' positions in the valley below. It is to be played as Blue only.

This one starts at 4.10am while the full moon is till in the sky and finishes at around 6am when the sun is shining. It starts very small and the first half of the mission is slow paced. But there's still plenty to do. The second half of the mission, the assault on Qabar itself is violent and intense.

In the campaign, this mission was quite easy for the Republican Guards to win, especially if he did well in the first RG mission. Some of the changes that have been made to this mission will find their way into the final version of the campaign as they make the mission much more challenging for the Republican Guards.

I downloaded this scenario. I find it really fascinating.

Paper Tiger,

Thank you for continuing to post your Hasrabit battles as stand-alone scenarios. Aside from being great scenarios, I like having access to the maps for my own tinkering (alternative OOBs etc.).

Fine work!
