Your greatest victory and worst defeat

[Mustang]

I have soo many big wins that I can't even count them, but they were all against low-quality forces. Even when hugely outnumbered, the human player will always beat an AI with tons of low-quality troops. The hard part is when the enemy has better troops than you do. In the old SP3 during the NATO Campaign (as West Germany), I had a lot of good fights. I remember the one where you had to assault into a city. I went around the south edge of the map, plastered a route into the city with MLRS, took its victory objectives, and my tanks ambushed the enemy counterattack. I took maybe 13 casaulties and the enemy thousands. That would probably be one of my best wins, but I haven't played as the lower-skill-level side very much, which is the real challenge.

My greatest defeat took place just a week ago in PBEM. I bought a tank company, some snipers and humvees, and loaded the snipers into the hummers. It was a city assault against Iraq, and I was overconfident because I assumed that the other guy had just bought a lot of insurgent infantry. So I blast through his infantry and get funneled into a narrow ally. I don't get ambushed, so I thought things were going well. I send a humvee force around their north flank, and they make good progress. Suddenly, on turn 3, the enemy cluster artillery opens up and fries my tanks, while an enemy long-range RPG shot kills one of my Abrams with a side hit. My tank company is decimated, and my Humvees get taken out with rifle fire. I knew that the Iraq OOB had both government and insurgent forces, but had no idea it had MLRS (imagine Iraqi guerillas owning MLRS!). I have one tank left and a few humvees at the end of Turn 3, and the other guy asks me if I want to continue. I'd have to conquer the whole city with one tank, so I surrender. Imagine the US Army getting beat by terrorists in 9 minutes!
