Scenario: Paras on the Litani

[shahadi]

...Saar class missile boats/corvettes to shore.This is what is supposed to be modeled in the scenario...

Interesting, so I put a 76mm M1A2 gun on the Patrol Crafts (they really do need more firepower) to model the Saar class boats,IMHO.

Other than that, how is the scenario going? did you finish it?

I have not gone past the first three turns. I try to note my suggestions in gameplay testing mode first before proceeding to the next turn. So, I've added your suggestion to buy the UK Rigid Boats (very good one indeed), place the BA helos with Engineers riding together. Now, that the Patrol Craft can take care of the Ammo ships, I will task the Attack Helos with a new mission.

However, I've considered as an alternative mission for the Sayaret platoon to destroy a AA Radar/Missile installation located at the site of the wharf. If they fail, it places the mission at greater risks.

As you can tell, at least I hope you can, that I am enjoying the scenario, and I should add, learning a lot as well. Thanks for including a Naval context to this scenario.

I might include 76mm arty support in the second version, however using the patrol boats to model a Saar is a bit much, Saar class missile boats should not come so close to shore as to be on map units...


Eagerly expecting more ideas.

I finished it today with a decisive victory. I lost 38 men. Most came from one artillery hit. I had a nice group set up for them....

I was able to take the bridges fairly easily. The southern towns weren't too bad. I did have to bring in my Apaches for that. The main town at the top of the map was a little more difficult but doable.

Luckily I had my spikes set up in the right place when the counter came. They and the Apaches made short work of the Lebanese force. If I hadn't gotten lucky with the placement of the missiles, it may have been different.

It was fun to play.
