Been there done that WB! Also added the link to his site to our new SP Microsite at ACG/SZO. Good to see Fabio back in the game.

Double_Deuce, I've been to your web site too. It's a fantastic one that every wargamer should visit regularly. I highly reccomend it: Steel Panthers Zone!

Thank you, it is so good to be back...

THanks, Gooseman. You are very kind. No, I've not tried it yet. It looks great. I'm just getting the purchased game and I'm going to replace what I have not with it and see what new goodies are there.

Played it, liked it.
Additionally one can play as the Soviets as well if you don't use their air force.

Those vechicles with TI rule the battlefield.

Hey WB,

Did you use Alpha's updated OOB?

BTW, your senarios have been great, keeping me up late, this is another I will have to put in and try before I can go to sleep.

hey gooseman,

since my OOB only consists of changes to (west) germans it will be no use in a scen of GB vs. UDSSR.

i agree with WB´s comment on fabios site, btw.

and i will play your scen tomorrow, WB, bet i get some inspiration from it

and again to WB: how about helping with my camp "red lighting"?? or any other person ?

[Gooseman2448]

Yea, I noticed AFTER I played. I jumped the gun a bit, I thought it was with some WG forces at first.

This was a real fun scenario! I enjoyed the fast pace of the battle. The introduction made the difference in 'personalizing' the units. The detail of the map is great. Thanks for the fun!

I finally found time to play this scenario. Let's cut it short, it's great.
I love fast, small scenario, where planning and deploying unit it's just made on opportunity and on what the enemy lets you.

If any of you still haven't played the scenario, consider that by reading my short AAR you could read spoilers of the scenario.
I achieved a marginal victory, with 6 tanks and a couple of of APCs destroyed on my side, and almost the totality of Soviet units destroyed.
The first part of the battle it's quite linear, you start seeing hordes of t72s coming down the hill, hoping that yuor gunners earn their pay.
Mine did.
Flaming hulls of Soviet tanks flourished on the peak of the hill, while my infantry deployed in the woods under the slopes helped keeping BTRs and infantry occupied.
Then massive air strikes from the Soviets happened, most of my casualities happened now (i lost to enemy tank fire barely one of my Challengers).
My SAMs couldn't stop the Su-27 from unleashing hell on my formations, i lost 4 Challengers and 1 Centurion in that phase. But the Soviet pilots paid with their lives their precisions
Other tanks (T80 and T80bv types) showed up, only to be destroyed by my tanks.
Then the rest of the battle is just beating the remains of Soviet forces, mainly remnants of mech infatry squads.
My Tow equipped Lynx helos were almost useless in taking out enemy vehicles, but were capital in spotting 5 or 6 Sp-ATGM vehicles, wich were hidden in the rear of the map, they could probably have been very dangerous, but i avoided advancing too much, and they were not a problem.

That's all. Another fine scenario from WBW. Congratulations.

P.S.: i don't know, should i post this small AAR in the proper section?

[WBWilder]

Busko, my thanks. I've been hoping for some AARs on some of the scenarios I've done. I've had a few, including the staff of SP-Camo, which I've greatly appreciated.

Knowing of the likes and dislikes of those who do venture onto these battlefields guides me in my future choices and designs.

This is a great little AAR. I don't know where it belongs exactly, but whereever it goes, it means a lot to me.

Thank you again...Wild Bill

[WBWilder]

Wow! Now I am looking at the other posts. Thank you all! THis is great encouragement. I really appreciate all of you taking the time to write and let me know.

Yes, if my work inspires you to be creative or just want to play the game more, it is work already rewarded.

Bring 'em on, Alpha. There is a big crowd here waiting to take on your battles.
