Situation:
This scenario is strictly an infantry movement to contact operation. C Company is ordered to disrupt Mujahedin ambush operations with the intent to engage and destroy in the vicinity of the village of Targab. C Company will air assault into the Assembly Area (AA).

Terrain:
The primary terrain in the scenario is 3 hills, which the Soviet intelligence planners have creatively indentified as Hill A, Hill B and Hill C. In between Hill A and Hill C is a large open valley floor. The hills and the valley are covered in light scrub brush and tree groves.

Looking toward Hill C from the top of Hill A. This is an extremely dangerous approach with cover and concealment limited to the tree groves and brush cover. Any enemy positions on Hill C will have excellent over watch of the valley floor and clear line of sight (LOS) of maneuvering units.

Looking at Hill B from its base. The hill will provide a difficult challenge to Soviet troops advancing up the hill to engage and clear ambush positions. Cover and concealment is availible from tree cover, but mitigated by over watch of possible enemy positions on Hill B.

Looking across the valley floor with Hill A to the right, Hill C to the left and Hill B straight ahead. The valley is going to prove a kill zone if there are ambush positions on the three hills that have not been disrupted or destroyed.

Enemy Forces:
Mujahedin machine gun teams, snipers, RPGs and small infantry units. In short, a hodgepodge of arms that are constituted into teams of 2-4 men.
Here are some of the specific units that the Mujahedin are believed to be using for ambush operations.

Enemy Courses of Action:
We suspect that the Mujahedin have established ambush positions on all three hills. The most likely course of action (COA) is draw our troops and convoys on the road into a three directional complex attack of RPG and HMG fire.

Friendly Forces:
C Company, 1st Battalion
HQ Platoon (PLT)
3 Rifle (RFL) PLTs (1st, 2nd, 3rd PLTs respectively) which are comprised of a HQ and 2 rifle (RFL) squads (SQD). It's important to note that Soviet rifle squads are consist of only 5 men. This is not a major issue in this scenario as it's a movement to contact and not a urban environment where you would like to be able to split the teams into assault teams for building clearing. I will most likely detach a scout team from a squad or two. This will reduce the squad to 2 teams; the 2 man scout team and a 3 man rifle team.

The Soviet high command is not into wordy mission statements or Commander's Intents.
Course of Action:
The counter-ambush operation will begin at 0800 with 1 hour to conduct and complete the operation. 3/C/1 will move east along Hill A to the base of Hill B in order to (IOT) conduct counter-ambush operations on Hill B and disrupt enemy activity preventing freedom of movement for 1/C/1 and 2/C/1 eventual assault and clearing of Hill C across Phase Line Alpha. (Note: 1/C/1 is read as 1 Platoon, C Company, 1 Battalion subsequently for example A/1/1/C/1 would be A Team, 1 Section, 1 Platoon, C Company, 1 Battalion) 1/C/1 will advance up Hill A and move toward the hill's eastern ridge conducting a counter-ambush sweep of Hill A. 2/C/1 will advance up Hill A IOT provide reconnaissance and over watch of Hill C. 4/C/1 will provide over watch fire on Phase Line Alpha and Hill C as well as providing flexible response to enemy ambush of Hill A.

Tasks to Subordinate Units:
4/C/1 will provide 1 HMG team each to 1/C/1, 2/C/1 AND 3/C/1. The attached HMG are operationally controlled by the platoon leader to provide support and suppressive fire of suspected and know enemy locations during the anti-ambush operation.
Command:
C Company Commander has operational control of the anti-ambush operation. HQ/C/1 will maintain command position from Hill A during the operation and move to extraction location vicinity Phase Line Bravo following completion of the operation.
Here we go! I'll be playing out the scenario using real time and pause to give commands as my pixel comrades as the situation demands.
0807 - Hill A

1/C/1 will move in support of 2/C/1 clearing operations and provide quick reaction support in the event of heavy enemy resistance on the ridge of Hill A.
4/C/1 will hold position. They will eventually move down the slope of Hill A to over watch positions to provide cover and suppression fires of the advance on Hill C. Right now they have been ordered not to engage any targets over 200m in distance. Ammo is limited and the HMG potential to provide future cover fires will be needlessly reduced.
0807 - Hill B
3/C/1 has reached its first objective at the base of Hill B. 2/3/C will conduct movement to contact operations along the western slope of Hill B. 1/3/C will conduct its operation along the eastern slope. HQ PLT will move between 1st and 2nd PLT and provide bounding over watch cover fire. 2/C/4 has taken its fire position on the western ridge edge of Hill A.
The Mujahedin have been sighted at the crest of Hill B. HMG, sniper and rifle teams have been positively identified.
C Co CDR is considering flexing an additional HMG from 4 PLT to the eastern ridge of Hill A to provide further support to 3rd PLTs advance in response to the known threat.

2/C/4 view of Hill B. The hill is heavily covered with trees and brush. This is proving too much for 2/C/4 to effectively provide direct contact suppression fire on individual enemy targets. The HMG team will possibly need to move its fire position further up on the northeastern ridge of Hill A.

2/C/4 was ordered to move further down the slope of Hill A to get a better position to support the assault up the hill by 3nd PLT. They were engaged by heavy enemy fire and destroyed. Suspect it was a sniper team.
2/A/4 continues to suppress the enemy HMG position. No clear shot on sniper or RPG positions.
3rd PLT continues its slog up Hill B. They have been in engaged in SAF with Mujahedin RPG and rifle teams and the progress has been even slower than expected just to reach the base of the hill. The next few minutes will be crucial if 3rd PLT is to take the hill and push the enemy out of position.

2/A/4 HMG gunner was killed on Hill A's eastern slope. The ammo bearer is pinned. 3 PLT will continue its assault up Hill B without HMG cover fire.
This anti-ambush operation is at a very critical stage. The Soviet command anticipated losses to the Mujahedin, but the loss of 3 HMG teams is a huge blow to the operations success. No need to panic yet Comrades. Look on the bright side we haven't stepped on any landmines...

The clearing of this objective has turned into no uncertain terms a bloody mess. 1/2/C was unable to take out the RPG team. They proceeded to reduce 1/2/C down to 2 men. And the effort to move into position turned fatal for the entire 2/2/C before 2/1/C could eliminate the RPG position.
2/2/C was engaged by the RPG and what is suspected to be an HMG position on the down slope of northwestern side of Hill A. The entire team was destroyed and the HMG position has yet to be engaged.

Comrades we must eliminate the HMG position before we can take our remaining SQDs and finally move past Phase Line Alpha and attempt an assault on Hill C. Hill C is also starting to cause significant issues with the operation on Hill A. There is a heavy concentration of RPG, HMG and sniper teams who are flexing all their firepower on the SQDs clearing the remaining ridgeline.
The commander has decided to move all 3 of his remaining HMG teams into position to put down suppressive fires on Hill C. Hopefully it is not too little too late. 32 minutes remain for the operation.
0822 - Hill B
3 PLT has achieved their objective with stunning success. A much need victory to bolster the moral against a bloody morning so far for the Soviet operation to clear out ambush fighting positions.

This success will allow for a possible two prong assault onto Hill C if Hill A can be brought to resolution in the next few minutes.
0825 - Hill A
The assault on Hill A has been completed and was a success in so far as we were able to route the Mujahedin from their fighting positions. They are on the run to the northwest and away from Hill C. At least something positive has come of this clearing operation. The question is can the remaining Soviet forces regroup and push the attack toward Hill C?

The result was a major Soviet victory. I messed up the screenshot of the victory conditions. Sorry.
It was a very tense first 38 minutes of the battle, especially the first 15 minutes. I thought that I was a goner as the assault on Hill A seemed to be going in the wrong direction very quickly. In all honesty, a human opponent would most likely not have broken contact as quickly as the AI seemed to do. I believe had the AI stayed to fight on Hill A, the Soviets would not have had the troops to make a successful advance on Hill C. All that being said the AI put up a hell of a fight before breaking contact. The breaking of contact is a very real world tactic used by the Mujahedin so I guess the AI played it right. Soviets won the battles but lost the war.
That is a fantastic AAR. If you do another I'd run it on the front page. Very well done!

I am in the same boat as you. Does anyone know how often they offer sales?

Did see gamers gate has it for $29, plus I have the 15 percent discount so around $25. Almost at my breaking point:)
$35 to me is a reasonable price for the game. I tend to be inclinded to spend more to support publishers/developers I like and want to see more games from in the future.

Understood. I typically don't worry too much about prices since I am an impulse buyer, but for some reason I haven't purchased this one yet so just trying to be economical, especially if I only play it limited:)
I bought CMSF when they put the bundle on sale and then got the CMA demo. I actually like the play of CMA better so far. Time may change my opinion.
I'm still mad at Battlefront for making me pay for a patching for CMBB so I could play in on Vista... >:( So I really don't want to pay full price if I don't have to.
