Scenario: Pillar of Fire

[Skirmisher]

I was going to post some screenshots as I go along but the images exceed the forum limits for file size.

Oh well, I'm on turn 14.

Northern Sayeret Team doing well. Advancing south.

Southern Sayeret Team nearly wiped out by lengthy Egyptian bomblet barrage. (Apparently I shouldn't have been so concerned with taking the Ziva location.) Isreali bomblets took out all 3
Ramses 2 tanks in one strike.
Only one lone sniper left down here.

Western Sayeret Team getting bogged down. Pouring on the 155's and cluster ammo to the southeast of thier position.

F-16's approaching for first run.

13 Egyptian vehicles burning.

Over and out for now.

Here are the screenshots in zip format.

after intense Isreali 155/bomblet bombardment. 3 Ramses splashed. Shortly after this the Egyptian bomblets hit this team.

WST : West Sayeret Team moving toward Mosque experiencing heavy Egyptian resistance.

yikes! I tried to bypass some of that resistance but discovered that I would have had to double back and take care of them anyway.

Those bomblets come in handy don't they? Oh and I wasn't impressed by those Ramses 2 tanks.

Semper Fi, Carry On

I'm on turn 30 now. I feel like the clock is ticking against me.

It took 10 turns to get the armor where I wanted them to strike.

226th Armored Units have killed 3 more units. Egyptian ATGM's have hit several tanks but with no effect.
Total destroyed Egyptian units now at 23.

Western Sayeret Team is at the remains of the bombed out mosque. Ammo is low and they lack the manpower to move anywhere except backwards. So they staying at the mosque. Killed Egyptian HQ.

Northern Sayeret Team is also low on manpower and ammo. They have been getting hit by Egyptian 120mm and 152mm artillery.
Also attempted to enter urban area unsuccesfully.

There have been no more Egyptian cluster attacks ,but I'm mindful of it. Armored units will not linger anywhere for long if I can help it.

Over and out.

A couple turns ago I lost some of a mech squad to mines, so I had to bring the Sappers up. Not that far from the objective now.

Some of the force broke off and is coming in from the northwest.
