I'm on turn 30....




....it's Stalingrad.


I edited the scen some before starting, switched Player 1 side to get the "correct" retreat direction for both sides, and extended the map from 40x40 to 40x130, added some random houses and roads on the new terrain.

Made a two scen campaign and switched the USMC to a heavily reinforced Swedish Amphibious Battalion (- been working on a custom OOB, want to try it out some).

The Muj are entrenched and have decent AA and indirect fire capability. My Swedish/Iraqi force is larger then the original scenario's USMC but more fragile, can't afford to take too many point blank salvos in the face. I went for the lower part of the map and intended to work my way to the far side, while taking my time and avoiding losses. Tried to target AA positions so that I could use helicopters as spotters but had to switch to counterbattery tasks because rockets and mortars became problematic...

In reality the (later) USMC advance into Fallujah kept a pace the insurgents could not cope with..., things are going much slower for me I think...
