MBT Campaign: Race for Tehran

[Imp]

Nearly finnished first battle & have lost a few men as out front scaning for mines followed by tanks the rest of my vehicles are trailing as vulnerable to ATGMs etc. Thing is amount of arty they only generaly fire the once as I call in 15+ tubes plus possibly air & smoke. After the first encounter switched dischargers & main guns off on tanks so dont waste HE & can move in to cover troops with smoke if need be, 1 tank per platoon has its gun on just in case. The barrage & MG fire is killing everything as lots of vehicles troops have only fired a couple of shots as no need to draw attention. Hit the heights between the 2 rough areas in front of compound for 3 turns then moved meeting little resitance, needed to wait anyway as troops are checking for mines. The compound was then hit with everything B-52s planes & every arty piece for 5 turns while the troops moved up. Entering round dragons teeth 1 scout & remains of a squad are only unit found plus destroyed guns MG pits & vehicles. Still plenty of ammo to see whats on our flanks as largely ignored to minimise mines. Its slight overkill still tis the Americans but big fist no finnesse needed.
Less arty & a few more repair points would make it more intresting as it is slowly slowly bombard the tar out of is the way.
