Whoa... first battle in months, and I get a force stronger than mine... I think this will be the first human loss in GC.

I'll give it a shot however.

Can you choose a battlefield?

[IcyNudibranch]

The two forces meet outside a small mountain town on the northwestern border, at the foot of the Hindu Kush mountains. The town consists of mostly uneven muddy streets and small, one story concrete structures, though there is a large mosque in the center with a towering minaret. One dusty, paved, two-lane road runs through the center of the town, but it is heavily worn and cracked and might as well not be paved. Surrounding the town are flat rolling plains of tall, hardy grasses, with a small creek running to the east, formed from yearly snow melt.

The enemy forces are all locals, and will fight to the death to save their town and country. They hide within buildings and quickly warn any straggling civilians to evacuate. A few riflemen with scoped rifles and anti-tank rocketeers enter the mosque and climb to the top of the minaret. They have a radio with a direct link to the Indian commander.

The rest of the enemy forces are spread throughout the town and the surrounding plains. The enemy aircraft must be launched from an airport farther to the south and may not reach the battle site for a few hours.

The infantry is split into groups of 10, which again is split in groups of 4. They are supported by one sniper and one AT missile trooper for each 10 troops.

The infantry leads the advance. Seeming as there is much more armor on the enemy side than the UT side, the UT armor is closely guarded by the infantry.

The ground units (non AA) are to prioritize the enemy AA vehicles first, tanks/armor next, AT infantry next, regular infantry last.

The AA guns and missiles are to target the ground attack jet + helicopter gunship first (priority one) and the interceptors come as priority 2. After at least one interceptor has been destroyed by the AA units, the multirole will be brought in to destroy the 1) the interceptors and 2) the ground attack jet, in that order. The ground attack jet will only be brought after at least 4 enemy AA and 1 interceptor is down.

EDIT: As the enemy airport is so far, the multirole is brought in early to make a few quick strikes towards specific locations marked by ground units. After enemy aircraft is on the battlefield, the multirole will return until (paragraph 4)

The gunship will only come near the battlefield after 3 AA units and 2 interceptors are down. It prioritizes SAMs and AA guns.

The SPG will provide accurate artillery support from far away.

Your infantry units are cut down as they approach the town. by machine guns, rockets, and artillery, as the mass of approaching units is quickly spotted by the scouts in the minaret. The tanks and APCs flank your infantry squadrons and pin them down behind whatever cover they can find or make. The APCs unload 20 riflemen and 10 light machine gunners, who set up and harass your infantry squadrons. Despite heavy losses, the Ukrainian troops break through only through the support of the armor around them, though these take heavy losses as well.

The Indians lose 30 riflemen, 11 light machine gunners, 2 anti-tank rocketeers, and all of their armored vehicles except the SAMs and SPG, and the Ukrainians lose 42 riflemen, 6 snipers, 3 anti-tank rocketeers, 1 MBT, 1 APC, 2 MG scout cars, and 1 AT scout car in this phase of the battle.

The Ukrainians continue to be harassed by enemy infantry once they are inside the town, but what's left of the armored force quickly dispatches most of the Indian troops. The anti-air SAM sites are easily destroyed, and India loses a further 10 riflemen, 5 light machine gunners, and 3 rocketeers. The Ukrainians lose 4 riflemen, 2 snipers, 1 rocketeer, 1 APC, and 1 AT scout car.

______________________________________

The Ukrainians, due to the high amount of AT troops in the area, send in helo gunships to destroy the infantry (AT prioritized)

The infantry is to move in smaller groups of 4 now, searching the town for Indian survivors and gunning them down. They are assisted by the gunships, who also have transport capability (4 per helo) Two helos are sent out to destroy the enemy helo, once it is destroyed they will resume the previous mission.

The AT troops switch out for their rifles, due to the fact that all armor has been reported destroyed. The AA guns/SAMs are set up in cleared out areas, protected by the AT troopers w/ secondary equipment, 2 squads of infantry, and the heavy tank. The tank is protected at all cost.

The MBT is sent out to destroy the remaining units. It is protected by infantry, defended at all cost.

The Indian Air Forces enter the fight and are quickly shot down by Ukrainian SAMs and air superiority fighters. No Ukrainian air units are lost.

The Indian infantry is quickly mopped up, though not without losses. Ukraine loses 11 riflemen out of 38, plus the MBT, to a heavy infantry defense. The remaining Indian infantry is completely eliminated.

Congratulations, $7500/day.
