Armor Attacks - Counterrecon v.2.3 (SB v. 4.259) 2.3 by Koen
1) SITUATION:
****************
a) ENEMY :
- Up to Red 2 tankbattallions are attacking from the east , with the aim of crossing the Iron-pass in the west.
- The attack might come through 3 different avenues of approach :
* Either the broad Waterloo-plain in the North (avenue of approach "OHIO").
* Or the smaller Panshir-valley in the South (avenue of approach "UTAH").
* Or through BOTH of them.
- Before attacking, the enemy will send Reconnaissance units (BRDM's and infantry), to pave the way for the tanks. Some Red companies (T-72 & BTR) seem to be guarding now PL POLAND.
b) OWN SITUATION :
- Our Battallion consists of :
* 3 Mech. Inf - companies (A, B & C) - equipped with Marders 1A3, supported by 1 PLT Jaguar 1A3
* 1 Tank-company (D) - Leo 2A4
* Scout-platoon of 4 M901's (E)
* HQ. & Arty (F) : 2 platoons of each 3 tubes & Hq. has 1 preplotted FASCAM-field.
- YOU are in charge of tank platoon 1/D.
* If 2 tanks of your unit are destroyed, platoon 2/D will become player-controlled. If 2/D, is destroyed, 3/D becomes player-controlled, then 4/D.
C) MISSION OF THE BATTALLION:
- The mission of the Battallion is to stop any Red breaktrough along the Waterloo-plain or the Panshir-valley.
- Execution of the Battallion's mission :
* A, B and C-company (Mech. Inf) :
** Are moving now to respectively Battle-positions Alpha, Bravo and Charlie along PL DENMARK, our main defenseline.
** Until the attack starts, they take up hidden positions behind these BP's (along the dashed blue lines), to avoid airstrikes and arty.
** Once the main Red Avenue of Approach is identified by you, they will redeploy to concentrate fire along its axis.
* D-company (Tanks) :
** Is positioned for the moment at the Iron-pass and acts as the reserve of the Battallion.
** D-Comp. will come into action, to support the Mech. Inf-companies.
** Where will they do so ? Like for the Mech. Inf, that depends on the avenue(s) of approach, that - according to you - the enemy is following
* Your platoon, 1/D :
** Is currently stationed in a DEPLOYMENT-ZONE at grid 236 296.
** Together with the scouts, your platoon acts as the security-screen of the Battallion in the nomans-land between PL DENMARK and PL POLAND.
* The Scouts-platoon (E) :
** The scouts are now moving to region 11 (BP Atlanta), region 12 (BP Boston) and regions 16 & 13 (BP Chicago).
** From this screenline at PL ENGLAND they will observe enemy-movements.
* HQ & Arty (F) is hidden in a static position north of Iron pass
2) THE MISSION OF PLATOON 1/D :
******************************************
2.1. Fight the counterreconnaissance battle (secondat mission - 20 POINTS) :
- Find and destroy at least 2/3 of the Red recon BRDM's that will infiltrate our sector (don't confuse them with the BTR's !).
- Do this in 30 MINUTES.
- If you don't stop them, they will show the attacking tanks the weakest spots in our defenseline.
2.2. Form the Battallion's security-screen (primary mission - 60 POINTS) :
- This is your most important mission : find out about the enemy's movements, from where he will attack and what's his main avenue of approach (AoA)
- Do this in 30 MINUTES, or else : no points, even if the missiongoal would be met.
- The Battallion is spread out over a large area. The Red attack can thus only be stopped if our Mech. Inf.-companies and the tanks know where the enemy puts his main effort, so that they can redeploy and concentrate their firepower along the enemy-AoA.
- They will only redeploy if you indicate in advance the main avenue of approach.
- If you fail to do so, they will largely stay in their original positions and won't be able to support each other. The Red tanks might overwhelm them, as they won't face a concentrated defense .
2.3. Unit preservation (secondary mission , well maybe not from your point of view ;-) - 20 POINTS) :
- Keeping your men alive - unit preservation - is important, if not only to join later the battle when the main Red attack starts ...
- So keep your unit intact during the first 20 MINUTES (= no tanks destroyed of your platoon) to fulfill this missiongoal.
*** BTW, as you can see, you are NOT judged on the fact whether the Red-breaktrough can be stopped or not !
That's the mission of the whole Battallion, and not the responsibility of just your platoon.
Yet your actions will be a serious help for the Battallion to succeed in its mission.
*** Scoring-condition : 30 minutes.
By then your actual counterrecon & screening-mission will probably be over. So, if you want, you can stop the mission at that moment.
Yet the Red attack itself surely won't be finished. Feel free to continue or not the battle, along with your buddies from the other platoons, to stop the T-80's.
REMARK 2021-04-11 on scoring
* Currently the scoring by points is broken in this mission - I may fix this later.
* However, ingame messages from HQ will let you kno if you succeeded or failed in your 3 missions ...
3) EXECUTION:
*****************
First of all, your Co. will send you several messages. Pay attention to all of them !
I repeat: pay attention to the ORDERS that you may recieve ingame from HQ
3.1. Counterreconnaissance - you have 3 options to choose from :
- OPTION A :
* You decide to deploy your 3 tanks and 4 scouts in separate observation posts.
* This would give you 7 positions and a good chance of finding the enemy reconnaissance as it tries to penetrate your screenine - which is rather long: about 12 - 13 km.
* Set TRIGGER 6 and then move 1 tank to regions 8, 9 and 10 each. The scouts will move tor egions 11,12, 16 & 13.
- OPTION B :
* You decide to deploy in depth with the Scout platoon forward and your tanks in a central location, to react to enemy actions.
* This would make the scouts responsible for the screenline and finding the enemy - which is what they are trained for.
* The tanks will be a strong mobile reserve and act as a killing force, in the rear
* So during the mission, KEEP THEM AWAY from the screenline.
* Set TRIGGER 7 and move all your tanks to region 14, while the scouts are in regions 11,12,16 & 13.
- OPTION C:
* Deploy the Leo's and scouts in pairs to take advantage of the capabilities of both weapon systems : the scouts know how to find the enemy, while the Leo has superior firepower.
* This would reduce your observation posts to only four (3 with a Leo / M109-pair and 1 M 109 alone) - but it will give you the ability to kill anything the enemy sends at you.
* Set TRIGGER 8 and deploy one tank in regions 11, 12 and 13 each, along a scout M901.
3.2. Security-screen : find the Red Avenue of Approach.
- With TRIGGERS 1 - 2 - 3 you warn the Battallion whether Red attacks from AoA Ohio, Utah or from both.
- The Battallion will redeploy accordingly.
- CAUTION : Once you've sent the warning, there is no possibility to change it ! Even more, if you set more than 1 of these triggers, you'll lose all points linked to this missiongoal.
3.3. Join the battle :
- After you've sent your warning about the enemy approach, your Co. will order you to withdraw to his position (he will indicate where) or to fight on your own.
- With TRIGGER 5 you answer him.
- Don't use TRIGGER 4 (Battalion advances to PL ENGLAND), unless your CO allows you & you think it's safe to do so !
Good luck !
