Into the Ring - AAR - 3rd Game (Turns 1-30)

[Jason Petho]

Turn 18
South

Some intense combat in the woods. I managed to take out an M113 with an RPG. Small victories!

[Jason Petho]

Turn 19
Coast

A new Israeli assault has begun in the coastal sector. Using smoke, he's captured some key terrain. While I am firing what I can, I can't seem to lodge him.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 19
Coast

Here is the 3D view of the battle. Blasted Merkava's are a pain. His helicopters are hitting my troops, causing significant casualities.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 19
Center

Since he is assaulting along the coast, this sector has turned quiet with random skirmishing.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 19
South

I am happy with the positions around Kfar Matta and Kliliye, although I am still trying to bring up some reinforcements to continue my advance in the south. Milans are on the highground between Kfar Matta and Aabey, they have excellent Line of Sight to any incursion in this area.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 20
Coast

The Israeli assault to clear the woods west of Haret Chbib is in full force. While he is taking losses, my forces are certainly not getting the upper hand. They don't have the staying power, so I'll be pulling back to help ease my losses.

Turn 20
Coast

Here is the 3D zoomed out view of the above.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 20
Center

The Israeli's are assaulting Baawerta. I had been holding this for quite some time, but it is a strategic location, so he is finally sending in troops to capture it.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 20
South

I have start to push along the south, mainly directly west of Kfar Matta. I am bringing additional reinforcements to this sector with the plan of attacking west. It's far too late to do anything productive, so I will test the offensive capabilities of my forces.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 21
Coast

The Israeli assault on Khaldah has begun. You can see I've pulled back quite a bit.

The IED's didn't do much of anything in the way of casualties, but that's OK!

His helicopters have taken out a lot of my AAA assets in the area, nearly giving him free reign to operate as he wishes.

Turn 21

Here is the 3D view of the above.

Turn 21
Coast

An additional 3D view of the area east of the area above.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 21
Center

There appear to be Israeli's everywhere! I am firing and pulling back a hex at a time, trying to stabilize the front.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 21
Center

Here's a 3D view of the Baawerta area. It looks like he is trying to cut the MSR between Baawerta and Daqqouri. Hopefully I can prevent that from happening.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 21
South

I am creeping along the south still... so far, not a lot of Israeli's down here.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 21
Victory Level

Here is current Victory Level. Still managing to have a draw at this point.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 22
Coast

Well that got ugly quicker than I had hoped. The Israeli assault on Khaldah is going exceptionally well for them. While I am getting a few kills in, they are few and far between.

[Jason Petho]

Turn 22
Coast

3D view of the above mess. So many Israeli tanks!

[Jason Petho]

Turn 22
Center

Here is the action around of Baawerta. You can see I am moving a lot of units around towards Kliliye

[Jason Petho]

Turn 22
Center

Quiet sector north of Baawerta
