Battle of LZ Albany - 17 Nov 1965

[Michielson]

Again a 12 turn defensive battle.
After arriving at the LZ, our troops started digging in. We made 4 IP's (40,22/40,23/41,23/41,24).
The enemy started firing at our positions from the W, N and E.
After a couple of turns enemy troops also started assaulting the LZ.
During one of those assaults, we lost the LZ for one turn.
Concentrating our troops in our IPs, we managed to regain the initiative and recapture LZ Albany.
When the gunships were released, things started to turn in our favor.
The combined power of the 6 gunships and 4 artillery batteries numbed the enemy in the last turns of the battle.
Nice short scenario with some air assets!

Battle stats:
Side A SP Losses: 38 / Point: 205

It's all the toys that make the difference, but it's still fun!
