D.O.W. 4-7 CAV Phase IV of Campaign by Cougar11

This scenario is a simulation and does not have any political message.

Mission Summary :

From HVOC 6: Listen up!! Intel was just received that the Russian and allied forces are making a large push in our area to retake the area. They most likely believe we are weakened in this area over the last three engagements. That would be true of just our Squadron. NATO forces are in route. NATO forces have given us two platoons of infantry mounted in trucks, and a newly formed Company of tanks and IFVs. They will arrive shortly, but will be short on fuel and ammo as they did not have time to pick up supplies. The Russian forces are pushing with two battalions from their reserve combat team. We believe they are pushing a recon element of BRDM’s ahead of the main forces. You should expect to see a strong counter recon force consisting of IFV, AT, and Tanks. After that the advanced guard, and main body of the attack. It is unknown at this time if they are going for the town of Thessaloniki, St. Joseph, or both. 4-7 CAV DOW Combined Arms Battalion minus will recon in force to the Northeast to destroy enemy recon and counter recon forces denying them freedom of movement, and advanced intelligence on our forces. Recon forces if possible should retreat southwest, or designate ambush positions that are covered by armor units. Commander good luck, and give them hell troops!!!!!
