Default Re: Scenario #61 El Al

That scenario is a "road of death" one - for the assaulter. The only thing you can do is trundle down the road provided as fast as you can and get shot up. Given the restricted time frame Its all you can do. No time for scouting at all, and if you dismount your infantry - they will get nowhere as there is no time.

I tried it, and got a draw. Only really got into the front line defences by turn 9 - and there is no way you would be able to get to the ones way in the back.

Every time I thought that I had dealt with the last T-55 another one popped up... Plus all the other A/T systems and the infantry that pinched your objectives back on the counter-attack as your Northern column has absolutely no grunts to guard the ones you took. There proved to be rather a lot of Syrians over there!

It might be better if it was twice as long, so you could at least use a little caution & so some tactics. Also the scenario designer changed the A0 to a jeep for some reason and thus lost the advantage of the inbuilt artillery observer status of an HQ element, and he provided no spotter.

I really don't think I'll be repeating that one, as I am not into masochism.
