@Nathangun are kicking off a test battle to try out the mods and the terrain ... open, rolling arid terrain map ... curious to see how it plays out.

Are you making these mods?? They look great
Yes, I am ... they are quite improvised and messy with the Russkie kit (don't look too closely -- I don't know the professional modders match up the camo on all the bits and pieces that make up the vehicles)... and just some colour overlays with the US kit/uniforms and some added emblems, numbers etc -- superficial, but it works so far
Opening moves... opening salvoes...
Tanks and mech infantry moving into position.
M163 Vulcan AA vehicle opens up on prowling enemy Hind attack helicopters... (I think we got one )
Mech infantry dismount!
"Oh my, what a big muzzle blast you have there..." -- M48A5 opening up at distant enemy targets ...

Within the blink of an eye, things get brutal...
One of @Nathangun 's BMP's gets TOW missile in the face...
Scratch one T-64...
The pain is evenly shared around... one of my M48A5's mysteriously catches fire...
Dismount! Dismount!.... Arrgh! Too late. -- that was painful... I think I may have got off the worse in this round.

Screen shots of the same carnage. Spotted units from the 'Rico Reich'.
A quieter turn... lots of smoke and dust obscuring battlefield for the moment.
Is that a pack of hostile T-62's lurking in them thar hills over yonder... ?

There be Dragons hiding in the tall grass...
... with a long reach ... I have it on good authority, that's an enemy T-62 going Kablooie! on that hill.
Sadly, that explosion in the far distance seems to be one of my Cobra attack helicopters shot down and crashing...

TOW missile vehicle in action ... disturbingly, the T-64 turret front handily shrugged off the missile hit. -- time to hit the REVERSE gear!
Another M60A1 bites the dust -- surviving crew members running for cover... note them carrying M3 "Grease Gun" SMG's of WW2 design vintage.

I have been shocked at how impotent the TOW is in this game -- already I have seen Soviet tanks take 5, 6, in one case even 10 TOW hits to their front armor without being killed. In contrast to CMBS where the TOW explodes over the top of the target tank and almost always kills it.
I've added this palm tree mod (got it from Kohlenklau's North Africa mod for CMFI) ... not sure fit entirely successful in this case...LOL

I guess matters improve with the Improved TOW2 missile ... in CMBS the Javelin is just invincible.

It's not bad looking.

Things not going so well for the Blue side as I push my armour forward perhaps a bit rashly...

I was surprised you did that.
Tactical genius I ain't
...also thought I had nailed all your T-62's on that hill... but, uh... nope.
Infantry make contact and first casualties on the right flank... terrain might be open, but at grunt level it's tall grass and dense brush...
RED infantry section taking our guys under fire...
An enemy BMP lurking behind a knocked out T-64 for cover...
...didn't work out so well.
