Battle 01
Libyan Captain Fatah positions his company on the Libyan side of the border in a valley overlooking a strategic road leading from Algeria.
The forces are under strict orders not to provoke the Algerian side... However the capture of Fatah's son by Algerian troops prompts him to undertake a rash course of action.
With confirmation that the prisoners are still awaiting transportation for interrogation, Fatah seizes the moment and disobeying his instruction leads his units forward to liberate them.
Fatah commands :
1x Mech Infantry Company (13x BMPS)
2x T62 Tank Platoons
2x Scout Platoons
2x Mortar Squads
6x Field Guns (120mm D30)
+ various snipers, observers etc.
Through this forbidding landscape, Fatah decides to split his mobile forces in two, with the Southern Wing to ordered to fortify itself upon a large central hill. There troops entrench themselves against Algerian attack. It is hoped that elevated positions will allow for our Armor to bombard approaching units.
Meanwhile a Northern wing should circumvent the hills and attempt to flank the Algerian lines, either to destroy its rear units or to engage Algerian units that may attempt to attack the Southern wing on the hill.
To liberate the prisoners, the Algerian HQ unit must be captured or destroyed.
