__TEAM YANKEE: TO THE SAALE*
*
________Team Yankee 1-4*
______________vs.*
______Soviet Tank Regiment*
*
Date: Aug 11, 1987*
Location: Saale River, E. Ger.*
*
(See special note at bottom before playing.)*
*
Finally! Breakout! Team Yankee is now on the move after the U.S. forces
have finally broken through the forward Soviet units. The attack is now
progressing towards the Saale River which will divide East Germany in
two.*
*
Team Yankee, now back at full strength with the return of the first
platoon, and with the an attached Armored Cavalry platoon are to draw
the enemy attention away from the hiway bridge across the Saale. The
bridge is expected to be blown by the time the Team gets there. The
Team's mission is to put on a show to make the enemy think that it is
the main body of the attack.*
*
You've just detached the Armored Cavalry platoon to sweep through a small
town halfway to the bridge. You have battalion artillery support and
some airstrikes have been scheduled near the bridge to make the approach
of the Team look good.*
*
Word has just come through that the bridge is stil up! Make a dash for
the bridge and take it if you can. Beware the enemy is still dangerous!*
*
Based on the Harold Coyle book "Team Yankee".*
*
(Special note: While this scenario plays reasonably well at the default
preference settings I STRONGLY recommend that Team Yankee scenarios be
played with altered PREFENCE settings. To compensate for the "dumb" AI
SP2 possesses and to give the Soviets a fighting chance the human player
should set the PREFERENCES to the following:*
*
US Forces*
---------*
Searching          70-90*
Hitting            70*
Route/Rally        100*
Troop Quality      100*
Tank Toughness     100*
Infantry Toughness 100*
*
Soviet Forces*
-------------*
Searching          200*
Hitting            90*
Route/Rally        110*
Troop Quality      105*
Tank Toughness     130*
Infantry Toughness 120*
*
These settings appear to be lopsided in favor of the
Soviet forces, but after playtesting with these
settings many times they don't really give the Soviet
side much of a advantage. It just gives them a
better chance of surviving for the sake of the battle.*
*
If you play Team Yankee versus human opponents all
settings should be set to 100 or whatever you agree
to with your opponent.*
*
At present all Team Yankee scenarios should use the
above settings. This scenario does play fairly well
with all settings at 100.)*
