The Russian 9th Motor Rifle Brigade attempts to destroy fleeing Ukrainian forces falling back across the Vorskla river. Best played as Red vs. AI. This is a conversion of a CM:RT scenario of the same name by TheVulture.
Lots of fun to play. I enjoy scenarios about this size. Commanding a force about 2 Companies in size.
If the blue enemy force had held their ground defending the one river crossing. I think I would have had some serious problems. However the enemy got greedy and they were force fed some tasty sabot!!
I agree with David. This is a fun scenario to play. It’s quite long and large, IMO. You need to be methodical to fight through the various enemy lines of defence. I liked the way the last bunch of reinforcements was in trucks. The computer does some crazy things, like zooming across the battlefield with some of its tanks just as I was about to sneak up on their flank. I did have a bit of luck (or AI not getting its priorities right) at the end – I sent an empty truck laterally across the map, intending to pick up various infantry and cross the ford on the very left flank, where some of my troops had a bridgehead. They’d never get there in time on foot. A hidden 100mm AT gun blew the truck to pieces, revealing its location. I splattered it with airburst from my remaining BMP3. If it had just ignored the truck (as a worthless target) it would have got a go at my BMP or some tanks that were heading into its gunsights. I’d say a 4 **** scenario.
