Flashpoint Campaigns Red Storm Bread and Butter

[RangerX3X]

The following paragraph is an excerpt from my blog post covering this scenario:



Cycle 3 (45 minutes): At 16:38 2-AA/117 Gds MRR (4 X 2S6 Tunguska) was eliminated by artillery fire. By 16:47 the second line of defense around the 5,000 VP objective was in place and has dug in. During the cycle there was no incursion of NATO forces that I was able to detect. The Smoke deployment on the leading edge of my defense dissipated at 17:05; however no American units were sighted on my side of the river.

Losses: Warsaw Pact 34/19, NATO 35

Additional Orders:

1/4/117 Gds MRR (13 X T-80U [m]) to Move - Hasty to hex 3809 and Hold. This location is utilizing available concealment (80 rating at hex 3809) that also provides excellent line-of-sight to the southern bridge crossings along the Ohre River, which could come into play should NATO decide to divert some forces there to flank my alignment.
2/4/117 Gds MRR (13 X T-80U [m]) to Move - Hasty to hex 3707 and Hold.
3/4/117 Gds MRR (13 X T-80U [m]) to Move - Hasty to hex 3709 and Hold.
HQ 4/117 Gds MRR (1 X T-80U [m]) to Move - Hasty to hex 3908 and Screen.
Mtr/2/117 Gds MRR (6 X 120mm towed mortar) to deploy Smoke at hexes 3407 and 3408.
A/C Mig 23 Flight 1 (2 X Mig-23MF Flogger) to perform an Air Strike at hex 2808 with a two hex Discretionary Target Zone Radius.

All artillery units are left in On Call status.

Nice write up, the AI blunt approach is kind of disappointing. No attempt at either flank after getting murdered at the central bridge and leaving all those forces not engaged.

The AI still had substantial forces in end.
