Just a bit of shoot'n'up fun. At Least two Sleezarian Coys, moving East from Sodom to Gomorrah route unknown. Probable enemy equipment includes BTR B-10s and BMP3s. Bandicoot detachment: 1st Pl Mechanized infantry, 2nd Pl Tank and 3rd Pl recce c) Attachments and detachments: Self propelled mortar Pl One battery of artillery is available. You also have some air support. Objectives: Locate and destroy all Sleezarians moving through your patrol area bounded by 850110 and 910070.

You are in command of 3rd Pl Mechanized infantry push west and secure and hold Dutons Field (at approx 725558). Also block enemy access to the bridge (at approx 741555). Hold for as long as possible, at least until the 2 Coy chooks arrive. 2 Coy has sent some infantry as an advanced party. The Sleezarian units are scripted quite randomly, both in their type and number of units. It has taken me quite some time to 'bálance' this; sometimes you get lots thrown at you and sometimes you don't, but just one T90 can ruin your day. Don't forget to feret out any Sleezarian irregulars, to win there must be no opposition elements at Dutons Field and none must have crossed the bridge! Optionally take control of: AT Pl (trigger (1) AT Pl) AA Pl (trigger (2) AA Pl) 1st Pl (trigger (3) 1st Pl) 2nd Pl (trigger (4) 2nd Pl)

You are in command of 1st Pl Mechanized infantry push west and secure object BP Dale (at approx 745556). Hold for as long as possible, but at least 30 mins, while tankers transfer fuel from the hidden bunker. Playing options: Push west, seize and hold BP Dale 1st Pl. See how long you can hold!! Optionally take control of: AT Pl (trigger (1) AT Pl) AA Pl (trigger (2) AA Pl) This should take at least 30 minutes. It took quite a few runs to get to the stage where BP Hill can be controlled for about 30 minutes, about 50% of the time. Also watch out for the 'rare' surprises, the difficulty varies significantly; the number of units vary, the directions taken etc.

A quick look at the BMPT-7 Objectives: 1. Seize town Urban 01 and Urban 02 2. Capture objective Non Urban Should take about 30 minutes I'm curious about the employment of BMPTs, they pack quite a punch with: - four Ataka ATGM launchers - two 30 mm 2A42 autocannons, a total of 850 rounds - A 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun is mounted coaxially with the main armament and holds 2,000 rounds Three crew, no dismounts Russia has not adopted them, last I heard; but seems to still be testing them in a few exercises. They have been purchased by other countries, though I do not know how they are deployed. Still, they have a respectable amount of fire-power. Favoured platton configeration for urban warfare seems to be each main battle tank with two BMPTs. Outside of urban warfare that ratio is reversed with one BMPT protecting two main battle tanks. My first problem was, what vehicle in SBs could be used to explore the use of BMPTs. They are now configured as a new turret on a tank hull. A quick search came up with the T-14 and T-15 as a close match. The problem then is that the T-15 only has one 30 mm. My solution is to use a pair of T-15 (without dismounts) as a substitute for one BMPT and halve the ammunition carried in each T-15. So that two T-15 have the approx fire-power of one BMPT. I then made two types of platoons: - One for Urban areas (2 pairs of T-15s and 1 T-14) - One for other areas (2 T-14s and 1 pair of T-15s) I now think that separate Pls of T-15 and T-14 instead of mixed Pls (as indicated in the article) would be a better solution. And if you are supporting a largish Infantry advance you would want more than one Pl anyway. Russia is now experimenting with the Pantsir-S vehicles engaging light armored vehicles.

You are in command of 4th Pl Tanks push west and secure town Obj 04. Red units vary in numbers, type and position with each session. Recce should locate them. Optionally take control of: 2nd Pl (trigger 2nd Pl) 3rd Pl (trigger 3rd Pl) 5th Pl (trigger 5th Pl Recce) Self propelled mortars (trigger 6 SP Mortars) Armed recon helicopters (trigger 7 Armed recon helis)
