New scenarios "Red Dawn Series"

[Imp]

Interestingly its not so hard from the Ruskie side either though keep in mind I have an idea of what to expect. Its due to the AI not being able to take advantage of its strengths while you as a player can. Just fast advanced leaving tanks in key spots where they might possibly be able to fire at max range & turned their smoke dischargers off. I am safe from frontal hits but can destroy anything if I hit it. All Abrams & one M901 destroyed plus both attack helos as I stopped advancing once they turned up. 3 BMPs & 2 T-72 destroyed & one with no tracks.
Wont be a cake walk but minor victory should be do able

Thanks IMP! A really interesting take on the other side of the coin, so to speak. I did a variant on this scenario set in 1990 - with early Apaches, the next generation of M1-Abrams and some better jets on the U.S. side (one of the new-fangled F-117's that the Canadians let us fly from one of their airbases just across the border ) on the U.S. side. And some very nasty Soviet tanks as well - some T-72B's, a few upgraded T-80's, and some BMP-3's. The Soviets managed to bully their way all across the map to get up close and personal with the U.S. infantry. Ultimately, the Abrams ruled the battlefield, but it was actually something of a fight! Still, a decisive U.S. victory in the end.
