As played from the US side this would be a good beginners scenario to build confidence. To make this a challenge for the US side against the Russian AI you'd need 3x the T-80s or maybe a surprise mid game airstrike. I had so many Abrams wandering around looking for trouble I was more a traffic master but the whole time I kept expecting a Regiment to show up but they never did. I suspect this would be best played against the AI as the Russians

11254 / 1308 Decisive and most of my losses came mid game being cocky

That said if you like setting up ambushes and stopping advances in their tracks this is quite a bit of fun

LOVE the map

Why do you have a 2500 point V hex in the upper left corner in the grey hexes and why is the Russian HQ kept off the map set to re-enforce turn 30 which is beyond the turn limit of the game ?

***I just went through the first 20 and noticed something strange. At map 319 Canadian and Arab flags suddenly appeared in the water, opened 320 and they were still there in the same spot. Exited the editor and opened it again and the flags were gone from those maps. So far I have not found any with anything wrong in them.***

Don't worry about the maps. I've got what I need for this release

I generally don't think of "Stalingrad" as an MBT map just as I wouldn't put a Huế map in WW2. The player can do anything he wants the maps are interchangable between games

All those sceanrios are dated 9/89 except Xroads at Lubbecke which is shows as 7/82 France vs Czech in scenhack...which is reading the scenario data....but the write up says September 2nd 1989......I ASSUME 9/89 is correct if yes, I've already corrected it,

[Weasel]

Yes, that was an error when moving to new slot, 9/89 is correct.

Played the Belgian one last night. It's always fun to drop three T-80's into the canal when you nail the bridge they are sitting on with arty. I was working Leos in behind the ones that were left when the game ended.

What was the outcome? I never put my tanks bumper to bumper, always at least 50m between afvs but you were playing the AI eh?

Did you want me to keep going through the maps for errant ones or are you doing it? If me, how would you like them numbered?

High marginal victory for me as the Belgians. I tend to play like Gräbner on Arnhem bridge but I was holding back expecting the horde to show up at any moment but it was managable and I was bored and crossed the bridge in the "north" and started roaming around looking for trouble. I also re-situated the Strikers for greater concelment and wider range of view..........also.. I just noticed that game says these are Dutch.. They are Begians.... did you include the wrong TXT file ??

Red Army 1 - Forcing the Elbe*
Designed for SPMBT V9.1*
Designed for head to head, against AI human should play Russia*
*
Date: September 1st 1989; 0530*
*
Battle Location: The Elbe Canal near Uelzen, West Germany, opposite Dutch Forces*
*
Battle Type: Dutch Defend vs Russian Assault*
*

They are Belgians defending the canal

and yes it WOULD play better H2H but against the AI it's a good quick game to play

I've got all I need for this year

I try REAL hard to never have vehicles end their turn on a bridge.
