Second Scenario


The second scenario is the largest of the three in the pack/set.  This time the Desert Rats put in a set piece attack onto a defended and entrenched Iraqi force with a full strength Infantry Platoon supported by T55 tanks and a couple Anti-Aircraft Guns.  The initial British assualt is by a force similiar in composition to the previous scenario but reinforced halfway thru the game by a couple Challenger 1 Mk3 tanks.  To off set the awesome power presented by the arrival of the Challenger's the Iraqi player is also reinforced by a Platoon of T62s about the same time.  This scenario, like the previous one, features limited visibility caused by smoke from burning oil wells near the battlefield.  This time only range is effected not movement.  The result of 2D6 rolled by the Iraqi player each turn determines the actual visibility, note that if a 12 is rolled the Desert Rats receive a single Tornado GR1, hence the reason for the Iraqi AAA.  The aircraft gets two runs, one bombing and one strafing.  I may slightly modify this portion by adding an additional FV432 with a FAC team that will actually do the targeting.  Victory conditions during this scenario are difficult for the British player.  He must clear all the Iraqi entrenchments and destroy at least 4 tanks.  If he accomplishes this task but losses 3 or more units in the process (again vehicles or squads) the game is a draw.  Otherwise the Iraqi player wins.  Again another interesting scenario that looks like it will be challenging for either side.
