b) For this scenario, the enemy is represented by German armor forces. Working to improve NATO Nations' interoperability is vital to the overall defense and stability of the alliance.
c) This operation will have you using forces from the; 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, 1st Marine Raider Battalion, 101st / 2nd Brigade Combat Team.

6) SCORING:
a) Scoring is currently turned off until I figure out the best solution to score it accurately. For now, end the mission once you've completed all briefing objectives and then evaluate yourself on your success / failure.
7) DESIGN NOTE:
a) ASLAV-PC used instead of LAV-25 to simulate USMC due to wanting the player to have more control over their forces.
b) Second scenario I've made so please give feedback and report all bugs / quality control issues to ROOKS AND KINGS on the Steel Beasts forums or the TankSim discord.
c) Thank you to Apocalypse for editing the scenario and giving feedback.
