Scenario: Ukrainian Blues - Battle Of Donetsk Airport

[Tomas]

Big thanks to everyone for input.

Version 2 is now uploaded in original post.

Changes:
- Some very minor cosmetic changes to map
- Main terminal building VP scoring is now doubled
- Reaction turn is now fixed for DPR units, so most of them stay in place
- Better positioning for DPR forces, opfire tweaks
- Ukrainian forces now have two ammo containers
- Ukraine gets smoke arty barrage on turn 0
- Some DPR units have the dated PTRD '41 instead of RPGs now

I did not run out of ammo and managed not finding, although limited, penurious rocket and artillery fires.

Since this is somewhat related. I've stumbled upon this rather interesting overview of weapons used in this conflict.

Just wanted to share.

Interesting, how little has changed since I did the scenario. Below is picture of current situation at Donetsk Airport.

UA troops - Green
Separatists - Red

Okay, I'm not following the map symbols. Can you use NATO standard map symbols, or just for ease here, what is the blue symbols denoting?

@Shahadi: Sorry, i didn't do the map. I think that they're firing arcs of the units/arty that are deployed there (on the right side in blue, it says "firing positions").

There is some new footage of UA (ATO) tank reinforcements that unsuccessfully tried to take over the airport yesterday.

UA T-64s advancing to the airport (they must have been reactivated or fixed very hastily, note the various state and combinations of ERA - some have Kontakt-1, some have Kontakt-5 or their combination):

Some more footage (note BMP-1 with SLAT):

Fantastic map! but the mission is not so realistic. In real life pro-russian forces have not been able to capture airport terminal in october. From May to January main building of the airport was occupied by government forces
