Default Tiran Battalion Campaign

So I decided to play a generated with the IDF. Never did this before always played with other countries.

As the Israeli side in winSPMBT is very strong, I was looking for a way to play with a weak(er) Israeli side.

The scenario- The 1982 war in Lebanon causes the falling apart of the fledgling peace between Israel and Egypt. Egytian forces rush into the recently demilitarized Sinai. with the entire IDF in Lebanon and the Golan(where hostilities with Syria are imminent), only 2nd and 3rd rate units are available for Sinai.

One of these units is a 100 tank strong brigade of T-62 tanks, named Tiran 6 by the Israelis. In real life this brigade was part of the General HQ reserves and never used. In my campaign, it is hurled at the Egyptians.

Ground rules for my campaign-
-As the IDF only has 100 of these tanks and very little crewmen who can operate them, tank losses will be replaced sparingly or by other 2nd and 3rd rate tanks.
-No more than 1 airstrike will be used per scenario(not including helicopters)
-Very little to no artillery will be available.


My OOB:
1 Tank Battalion with
3 Tiran 6 Companies(A,B,C)
1 Mech Inf Company(D)
1 SP-Mortar platoon
1 Recce section


AARs for each battle will be detailed and with screenshots.
