<t> Helos normally avoid artillery missions (friendly and enemy) for a reason. As an example, if a 155 round strikes a helo in flight, its all over for the flight crew. Even if the round doesn't explode. Too much mass, going too fast, expends a lot of energy were it to strike a bird in flight.<br ...

I'm very interested in seeing how this one goes. Jason and I played this right before the release. So, I'm looking to see how other folks approach the constricted terrain.

Enjoy,

<r> It appears the more modern Russian SPARTY (2S1, 2S3, 2S4) is not above platoon level in the organizational charts. Which means, a scenario designer would have to build the organization at battery and battalion level in the oob for any scenario. We will probably need to look at this to see if we ...

Not making any changes until I get the feedback from you two. I have some ideas, but I do want to hear from the field commander's on this.

Standing by,

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> or, likely: my HMG then in the Southern sector Op Firing got one or two too, so that would make the ten downed helos as a total. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Thanks... I've learned to land at an assembly area and march onto the VP hex like a standard airborne drop. Those ...

What hit the Mi-8s? MANPAD, MG, Jeep w/MG, combo? That is a pretty brutal loss for the Syrians considering you already downed the Mi-8 Escort.

I'm very curious.

<t> Currently, there are no limitations on a helo's loiter time. However, in this fight they are relatively close to the front lines which means they would have massive loiter time. Looking at it as it stands in the scenario, I will probably have to put some SA-9s on the Syrian side to make the ...

Take note of the Port Said 2D graphic. That is one brutal fight as the British/French Joint Force attempts to take the port. I play tested this ...

<t> Some notes on this scenario:<br/>

Syrian ground force is locked inside Kuneitra by minefields and blocks. They need to clear a path with their engineering assets (KMT, Engineers, and to move forward with several options, left flank, right flank, hey diddle diddle straight down the middle ...

My favorite is the M577 Command Vehicle. It wasn't there in the beginning, but I asked and bam it appeared. WOO HOO!!!

<t> Yes, the black box concept is pretty much how I look at the game itself. I don't really dig into the mathematics of the attack and defense CRTs, I look at the results and over time I develop experience on just what to expect. It sounds like we can use this approach to explore the limits of the ...
