Thanks!! Am I able to check the orders/intro page again once I've started the scenario, or should I write everything down first?

Hm... just check the orders/intel and go on with combat mission, orders are quite simple, hold agains enemy assault, check map (Victory Points) for info on what terrain is a key for your command, then just visely redeploy your forces and make bloodbath for your enemy. Hint -> You have only M1A1 Abrams (105mm main gun comparred to 120mm on M1A2) on that mission they have only one, but big ADVENTAGE against op4 tanks (thermal sights) same as your Bradley's IVF's so... smoke is your biggest friend - enjoy, and give them hell. You are dismissed soldier

M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams has 120mm gun.
M1 and IPM1 has a 105mm gun.

i've always considered this to be the best armoured scenario in SPMBT, bar none.

quick question though - i've found it a bit dubious that the WP vehicles are all modelled as not having thermals, by the early 1990s (my period) this was definetly not the case anymore, including for the t-72s.

also, i heard a mention back then of supposedly "thermal defeating smoke" (using plastics, or something?) anyone heard of this, at least as a threat perception if not actual WP technology?

I heard about thermal defeating smoke, it was inpenetreble to thermal sights beacause of it's high temprature, but i can't give you any specific intel. Mayby it was just rumor, but this info is from "Military magazine" so... mayby it's true. And come to think of it... i wonder why WinSPMBT doesn't have implanted "smoke generators" on tanks... i know that something like that exists...
