Operation Variable I-8 AAR

Map

Batte area is a sector of the Northern PA map.

Summary

We had 20 players take part in mission 8, divided evenly between both sides.

Pic 1 - Starting positions for both sides. Blue set up infantry screens in front of their armour. Red prepared to send reinforcements across Pegasus bridge in the north to support their forces on the eastern bank.

Pic 2 - Red streamed across the bridge in the north and fanned out, taking Blue by surprise. Blue infantry and missile teams fended for themselves until the tanks arrived on screen. Arty was called in to help slow up Red's advance. Fighting around Hell's Highway was fierce, and at very close ranges.

In the center, Blue continued to sweep towards Arnhem bridge, but stopped short of occupying it. Red infantry crossed just to the north and a firefight ensued between the troops.

Blue's last surviving airborne troops (1/14/P) were able to call in some indirect fire before being wiped out just west of Arnhem bridge. Blue deployed their Spec Ops team in the northwest corner of the map, and sent in air mobile troops via Chinooks to try to locate Red's HQ. All the troops arrived in their respective LZ's, but all three of Blue's Chinooks were downed during their egress. The troops in LZ 3 to the south were quickly over run, but those in LZ 1 & 2 were able to spread out in search of the HQ.

Red's XO/B cautiously moved down the eastern bank of the river towards Eindhoven.

Pic 3 - Final positions at the end of mission 8. Blue was able to absorb Red's attack across the bridge in the north. Arty was able to destroy a number of Red's vehicles as they tried to cross the bridge from the west.

Red's XO/B nearly made it into Eindhoven, but the mission ended before this happened.

Blue's air mobile infantry made it within 1 km of Red's HQ, coming very close to locating it.

Blue secured objectives Horsa and Hell's Highway while Red secured Nijmegen. Losses were roughly 2:1 in favour of Blue.
