Crushing Defeat

Postby Perturabo » Tue Feb 16, 2010 10:19 pm

A battle report that I posted on Close Combat Series forums.

A reinforced infantry company is trying to stop an unexpected OPFOR attack.

The bright green writing on screens is my descriptions.

My forces:
1 Infantry HQ
3 Infantry Platoons
3 M47 Dragon Sections
1 TOW-2 Section
1
1 Medium Mortar Section
1 Scout Section
Two AH-1F Cobra gunships.

Enemy forces:
2 T72B Tank Platoons
1 BMP2 Mechanized Infantry Company
1 Medium Mortar Section
1 BRDM-2 Scout Section
Artillery Support (18 tubes)

3 Enemy AFVs from the second screen advance forward. The front one gets engaged by my two TOW-2 ATGM teams.
Both of them miss at the extreme range.
They stop firing after it gets obscured by smoke.

My last M47 section gets destroyed by enemy artillery fire on 41:09.
Things look very bad - the enemy armour (1 T72B tank platoon and 1 BMP2 mechanized infantry company) can get to my VP.
I made a big error by spreading my infantry squads along the line. Also, AT teams need a more limited LoS so that they wouldn't be spotted as easily.

Enemy tanks approached the victory location. I prepared an ambush.
Image
The first tank was engaged too soon by just a single squad (I set the engagement ranges wrong). The squad gets suppressed and destroyed. To make things worse it's fired at not only by the tanks but also by an enemy ZSU-23.

My AGL teams engage the ZSU-23 and get quickly destroyed.

Image
Other two tanks get engaged by two remaining squads. One of them gets destroyed and then both squads run out of LAWs and got destroyed.

Image
All of my remaining forces are in a wrong part of the map and I can't retake the VL, so I give up.

Fuck.
