Operation Desert Storm, G+1 day. Originally ordered to stand by as a reserve, the 1st US Cav is ordered to screen the VII Corps right and center.

Right click and open in a new window for a better view. The 1st US Cav (counters outlined white and green) are spread thin for this screen mission. The rest of VII Corps (HQ counter highlighted yellow) is moving north, pushing aside the Iraqi infantry brigades found in its path. Green counters = US, Brown Counters = UK, Light Green (Teal?) = Iraq, Other counters south of the border = Rest of the Coalition.

The starting position of the 1st US Cavalry Division (counters highlighted white and green). Note the enormous gap west of the Division (~40 miles), ripe for picking for Iraqi units. In order to screen this gap, I had to order the cavalrymen to move west.

Eliminated Iraqi units at day 3 of the offensive. Although it may look good, the computer-controlled Iraqi forces are putting up a good fight and maneuvering quite deftly.
