I was an advisor in Eritrea in 1998. My interpreter was a tank commander in thee long war of occupation between Eritrea and Ethiopia. (The Eritreans had won their independence, but tensions were high and fighting did shortly re-erupt into another full blown border war.) He had many interesting stories of tank combat that I was more than interested to listen to. (There were many destroyed armored vehicles around the AO). He spent most of his time in a T-55. One time at night, (no night vision for any of these guys), they were moving off the front lines to head to the rear and got disoriented, and fell in with a column of BMPs and tanks. They were in the back of the column and it had stopped for some reason, idling for a while as military convoys are apt to do sometimes. He saw this as an opportunity to hop out and go talk to the next guys up the line and find out who they were. As he approached the tank and started to climb up two crewman were having a cigarette and talking with each other as the vehicles idled. He froze in place catching wind that they were Ethiopians. He retraced his steps, climbed back in the tank and sat there for a bit trying to figure out what to do. They opted to head north off the road for a while and ultimately make for their own lines (this is rough desert). However they opted to create confusion to make their escape. They backed up 20 meters and put a round into the tank in front of them, right through the rear and it went up in flames. They shot up several more tanks and then raced off to the north into the night. Ultimately they made it back to their lines. Los

It’s been removed 👍

It’s being removed or damage if might be added. Haven’t decided yet

@Nike-Ajax Heads up. I had discussion with Assasin. We agreed that he will edit opfor behavior and post new mission later today. He will send new mission for me and Harry that we can re do our plans. That scenario he send. Is for Mech infantry guys to check their loadouts and for platoon leaders to make overlays. I have send to assumed platoon commanders my plan. So that they can develop their own overlays for scenario. So maybe I may not need to send mine at all. Or people can just delete parts that are irrelevant to them.

Noob mistake by me...solved

Any progress on #9671?

Thanks, Hokie. I actually bought Thunder Run last week, but my father took it away from me when I visited this past Saturday, so will have to start it after he's finished. Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I picked up about $100 worth of used books on Amazon from your recommendations... should keep me busy all summer. Cheers!

Another good book is Thunder Run, which is about the US 3rd ID's armored push in Baghdad in April 2003. Very good read, I just finished it yesterday.
