Hey...they have unbuttoned crews.  Very cool.

Wait, just noticed it was Professional.  So does that mean a relatively long wait until gamers can get it?

OK Taaie Ruiters...time to mount up.

Thats how we'll do it:


Please everone read those lines!! My idea is to use the time on saturday for questions and coordination measures and not re-read the briefing!!


An enemy Mechanized company(+) equiped with M1A2 and M2A2 vehicles is defending BARBERADORF

Most likely enemy COA is a deleay/mobile defence on the area EAST of PL4 and a deliberate defence of the OBJ.


My Intent is to attack with 2 MechInf abreast, tanks in overwatch one MechInf follows a lokal reserve.

It is key that we conduct a speedy attack to take the OBJ,  IOT deny the enemy time to reorganize and conduct a controlled delay/defence.


Tasks:


1A:

-Crosses LD together with 2A first once AT plt has secured flanks

-attacks on the companies right wing,

-protects D50(recon) during the advance

-secures ZZ2 IOT enable movement of HQ/mortar plt to PL 2

-continues to lead on the right after PL2

-secures northern part of ZZ3

-attacks OBJ trough the low ground north-east of BARBERADORF together with 2A, defends OBJ against enemy counterattack


2A:

-Crosses LD together with 1A first once AT plt has secured flanks

-attacks on the companies right wing,

-protects D52(recon) during the advance

-secures ZZ1 IOT enable movement of HQ/mortar plt to PL 2

-continues to lead on the right after PL2

-secures southern part of ZZ3

-attacks OBJ trough the low ground north-east of BARBERADORF together with 2A, defends OBJ against enemy counterattack


3A:

-follows behind teh command section

-is prepared to relieve or reenforce 1A or 2A

-is prepared to outflank enemy fixing 1A or 2A, when ordered

-attacks and holds OBJ 3A once PL4/ZZ3 is secured

-denies enemy movement through NORDDURCHLASS


3B:

-follows directly behind 1A/2A IOT provide direct fire support

-attacks along RANGE 7 on order

-splits in 2 sections after PL2 and support left and right wing with direct fire(if needed)

-after ZZ3 is secured, 3B moves in to support attack on OBJ with direct fire, destroys enemy armour in and around the OBJ



AT-plt:

-secures LD and overwatches forming up of the company

-follows after way to ZZ1 and ZZ2 has been secured

-leaves 1 section with HQ/Mortars to beef up the AT defence (support security for HQ and Mortar FP)

-follows the tanks after PL2

-moves into position west of ZZ3 IOT to overwatch/support attack by 1A/2A


Recon plt:

-1 patrol each moves with 1A/2A

-coordinated force protection with the MechInf plts

I need to know

-what enemy forces are on range 7 before 3B attacks?

-what enemy forces are in ZZ1 and ZZ2?

-are enemy forces in the, or overwhatching the open ground SOUTHWEST of ZZ1?

(are enemy forces gUarding the the NORDDURCHLASS?)

-before attack on OBJ, I need to know enemy force disposition in/around the OBJ

And I alsways like to know: Where are the enemy tanks?



Mortar plt:

-fire prep1/prep2 fires to cover/support crossing of the LD

-be prepared to fire suppres/neutralize FM in fron of 1A/2A between PL 2 and 4

-cover the positioning of AT-plt for the final attack

-cover the attack of 1A/2A


HQ/Xo:

-organize CSS and C2 from HQ positions 1 and 2

-command security for HQ and Mortars


FO:Moves with command section

-be prepared to neutralize enemy armour when spotted

-suppress/blind enemy in the OBJ to support attack on OBJ

Team Iron Campaign Phase IV by Cougar11 


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



Mission Summary :
The IRIA has attacked into Iraq crossing and taking the city of Basra and Faw. They have seized the ports and supply routes into Iraq. Kuwait and Iraq have asked for assistance. Nato and US command have determined that for national security interests, regional allies, international supply, and open hostilities, that your force 3rd Brigade ABCT Team Iron of the 4th infantry Division will spearhead US and NATO forces. Brigade objective is to penetrate, and destroy as many forces of the front line of the IRIA 72nd Armored Division(+), push into the Division rear area, and force the 72nd to retreat out of Iraq, and away from the border. Brigade strength must be maintained at 40% of combat forces at all times, and if it drops below we will be forced to fall back to Iraq boundaries. Minimum success is to make the IRIA to return to Iranian boundaries. Moderate success is to push into Iran defeating the second line of forces, and reducing the 72nd to below 70% strength. Major success is to reduce enemy forces to 50% or less in the 72nd, and push into or beyond the third line of forces. Your brigade will be flanked to the North by 1st and 2nd brigade to keep any major flanking maneuvers from threatening that flank. Your forces will have responsibility of your Southern and Southeastern flank. You are required to "designate a force to secure that flank prior to missions, and cannot be from the previous mission. Terrain around Basra is mostly flat and sandy. The further east you travel, the more hills, and mountains you will run into. As you go, there will be increasingly more narrow avenues of approach, limiting your attack options, and allowing the enemy to better engage you.

92nd Armor Division IRIA has pushed into Iraq, and poised to continue into Kuwait. The reduction of US/NATO forces in the region have made it prime for takeover and the IRIA is going to fill the vacuum of the region. 1 Brigade 1st Battalion 92nd Armor is defending the major population center in the area. They have brought in the remaining mechanized forces south of the river, commandos, and a large amount of infantry.

I like the look of some of those 4.0 upgrades. The roads are a big improvement. But the way vehicles sink up to their axles on what looks like firm ground and roads is odd.
