Everybody is Welcome: you don't have to belong to Kanium. We love playing with you all, the arranger and CO loves you even more if you sign up in advance briefing TIME 1800 LOCAL TIME WEATHER Overcast, 23C, rain expected in the next 120 minutes GENERAL Soviet forces have continued a general advance in our sector, along an axis stretching from COPPENBRUGGE, north of HAMELIN. It is expected they'll either turn north, through HACHMUHLEN, or west through the POTZEN gap. ENEMY The enemy to our immediate front consists of an armor battalion reinforced with mechanized troops, as well as supporting engineer and supply elements. The enemy force largely consists of T-72 tanks (likely T-72A) backed up by BMP-1 PCs. The situation in the air is a pitched battle at the moment, so do not discount the intervention of enemy air support, both fixed and rotary wing. FRIENDLY Our force consists of a cavalry squadron, 3 platoons of 3 x M60A3 TTS and 3 platoons of 4 x M113A2, the platoon HQ being 1 x M60A3 TTS, 1 x M113A2. We have attached two platoons of 4 x M901ITVs. Dismount elements are 1 x M47 Dragon team, 1 x M60A3 team. We have available 2 x 3 tubes of 155mm for fire support. 1 FASCAM mission is available, as well as some fixed-wing air support. Some fixed-wing can be made available if we're pressed hard, but due to heavy attrition and dense enemy local air defense, it's being held back unless absolutely necessary. We have adjacent elements to the north and south, should the eny decide to press forward in those directions. MISSION C SQUADRON shall DELAY the enemy between PL BASELINE and PL STOP until H+120. EXECUTION C SQUADRON shall DELAY the enemy between PL BASELINE and PL STOP until H+120, in order to facilitate the regroup of friendly forces to the west of HAMELIN. Ideal end state is the enemy advance halted between PL BASELINE and PL STOP, with minimal friendly and heavy enemy losses. FIRES/AVIATION One FIST-V is available to direct fires. 2 x 3 tubes 155mm, with HE, Smoke, ICM, and FASCAM missions available. 1 x Platoon Mortars. 2 x fixed-wing CAS missions. 2 x AH-1Q as a reserve. SUPPLY/SUSTAINMENT C SQUADRON has supply and sustainment available locally, but nothing beyond this. 1 x ARV, M113 Bandaid, 1 x Fuel, 1 x Supply. Engineers have been through the area, so we have some fighting positions prepared.

Hi Team A question for the Canadian and Danish Cold War experts: When did the M113(A1) TOW variants in your respective countries receive thermal imagers? It's hard to tell from my research. I'm guessing mid-80s through to early 90s latest but it would be good to have more specific timeframes if possible for existing and pipeline scenario work. Thanks in advance!

So turns out I could still make it today 8) We will be hosting a small game for whoever want to play. Units for the night will be 1a5dk, humwee tow, m113 etc. Show up on Kanium TS if you are bored. Scenario is an old kingtiger mission changed a bit.
