PGW - Tawakalna's Last Stand*
*
Date: 26 February 1991*
*
Battle Location: 25 miles west of the Kuwaiti border*
*
Battle Type: Elements of US 2nd Squadron, 2nd ACR vs 18th Mechanized Brigade, Tawakalna Mechanized Division of the Republican Guard Force Command (RGFC).*
*
Description: In this scenario, the 18th Mech Brigade of the Tawakalna RGFC is entrenched and awaiting an assault by US 2nd Squadron, 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. Here, we want to recreate in winSPMBT terms, the battle preceeding 73 Easting, except in this battle, we have RGFC units entrenched in fighting positions with a deployed company of T-55's dugged in to their turrents.*

As an additional twist, we've modified the TO&E of the game's tutorial with Iraqi hunter-killer teams.  These teams are a borrowed concept from the Chinese Farm battle between Egypt and the IDF in the '73 war. We simply swapped out an Iraqi infantry company, about 284 purchase points, with a scout platoon, and several ATGM units, and a single inf-sam unit worth about the same purchase points as the swapped out infantry company.  We then organized a rpg-7 with a milan team and a scout section to form a "hunter-killer team." We wanted to play a "what-if" scenario and test the idea of the viability of hunter-killer teams (missiles) mitigating the force of heavy armor units.*

As taken from the game's tutorial, "Advance and capture the ridgeline approximately 2 km (40 hexes) forward of your current position. Iraqi forces in the area include armor and infantry."*
