To finish the Soviet/Chinese conflict, here's the last incident that happened during these border clashes.
Quote:
Zhalanashkol Incident
Date: August 13, 1969
Battle Location: Near Lake Zhalanashkol, Kazakh SSR
Battle Type: Soviet assault vs PRC defend
Description: The battle takes place near the Soviet-Chinese border, few kilometers deep in the Soviet territory. On morning 13th several PRC infantry squads cross the border, achieve the Kamenaya and Pravaya peaks and start to fortify their positions.
Short argument between the Soviet troops and PRC units doesn't solves anything and border guards leave the scene to wait for reinforcements. After arrival of Soviet BTRs and hard fight, overhelmed PRC troops retreat. One of the key factors that decided the out come of the battle was absence of AT weaponry on
PRC side, since they didn't anticipated presence of Soviet IFVs in the region.
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Soviet side.

This is small and short scenario, as the actual incident involved only few units. Should be suitable for reasonable PBEM aswell.
Any comments, improvement ideas and so on are more than welcome.
EDIT: Final version is attached.
Changes:
- Scenario is bit longer now (30 turns)
- China tries to reinforce their positions (as it was historically)
- Mi-4 instead of Mi-2 for Soviets
- Fixed VPs
- Some other minor stuff
