Re: Ukraine 2021(?)
"The Outskirts of Mykolaiev"
A Steel Panthers MBT Scenario (Slot #551 in the "Scenarios" list)
Location : Small town of Mykolaiev'ske just SE of Mykolaiev, Ukraine (small map), March 2022.
Battle Type : Russia (east) Advance vs. Ukraine (west) Delay.
Setting : Forward elements of Russian South Front battle forces, trying to cut off Ukraine's Black Sea coast from the rest of the country, try to take this small town, which is right on the way to the larger city of Mykolaiev (formerly Russian Nikolaev).
As most of Ukraine's conventional army has had to be retained to defend the Kyiv / Kharkiv front up north, local Ukrainian infantry forces -- supplemented by a rag-tag force of Ukrainian "Territorial Guard" and "Foreign Legion" units -- attempts to hold off the advancing Russians as long as possible.
For more of a challenge, I suggest that you play the Ukrainian side, although the scenario has been play-tested and is winnable as either side, with the caveat that a "Draw" based on points score should be counted as a "Marginal Victory" for the Ukrainians. Make sure to read the scenario notes, they are extensive!
And let's all hope for a speedy and just end to this conflict. Far too many innocent people have died in it, already. War ain't a game, unfortunately.
Sincerely
Mr. Bill
