Conquest: Iran

[Lé Badger]

I think that it should be cool, seeing as Ember could try to capture with only 600 soldiers and no logistic stuff. I shall fight only with this, then:

SPOILER: Click to show

200 infantrymen with ARM-10/1s
50 snipers with LR-14s
50 LMG troopers with RPK-10/1s
30 AT troopers with RPG-7Ms
30 AA troopers with HSAM-2s
30 special riflemen with M30 HSWs (OICW)
40 Artillerymen with SGM-85 TOWs (counts as mortar)

[ProkAdama]

I heed the call. Will mod this. Soon. But first, HW.

[ProkAdama]

You are ambushed by a force of guerrilla troopers near the end of the campaign. These consist of:

414x AK49A "Angry Mob" Civvies with guns

20x AK49A Standard Riflemen

Not surprisingly, the unknown terrorist cell strikes again.

2x Rocket Buggy

2x Venom Ground Attack Jet

2x Marauder Heavy Tank

And their very most precious unit, appearing to be constructed from years of manual labor. It is a genius home-made helicopter design.
-Supertough armour
-2 powerful engines custom designed
-10 30mm autcannons!
-2x guided missiles
-Thermal scanner for weeding out infantry

1x Osiris K-12 Superheavy Hunship

[Lé Badger]

Whoa. I wasn't expecting it to be real easy but I wasn't expecting this either. Anyway, this doesn't mean that I will give up.
---------------------
Snipers will climb in hills and such, will use heavy cover (if possible) and heavy camouflage. Before getting into position they will not make any contact with the enemy and will stay as stealthy as possible.
25 standard infantrymen with AK-10/1s will escort them but they will remain in heavy camouflage, too. They will keep an eye for the Osiris and will remain away from them, by all means.
30 AA troopers with HSAM-2 MANPADs will stay with them. On the way they will stay stealthy and will not fire before the snipers, to not to compromise their locations. Their main targets will be the Osiris but they will also try to get rid of the Venoms, too.
40 Artillerymen with SGM-85 TOWs will follow the same procedure, but they will target tanks and infantry. Vehicles are the main targets.
---------------------
Other infantry will move and eliminate the infantry, but they will be as aware as possible: Buildings that can be set up as a trap, or used as cover, enemy vehicles and infantry, and such.
Snipers will also scout targets for the infantry, and provide them cover, if needed. Homever, outside of that they will mostly focus on recon and elimination.
When they spot an incoming vehicle, LMGs spread out and provide distraction for the AT troopers. OICWs will stay with ATs and will use their air-burst grenades, to hopefully hurt the vehicles. They will also try to fire at critical locations of the vehicles, too: For example, tracks, engines or top of the tanks.
ATs will also try to fire at the same locations, too.

[ProkAdama]

Well, you did bring AT and SAM troops, did you
---------------------
Your maneuvers are quite successful, resulting in a 50% death of enemy troops, a rocket buggy, and you kill the crew of a heavy tank by luring it into an LMG trap (you can take over it). You correctly anticipated traps - your troops evade most of them, such as tripwires, exploding barrels, mines, etc - but many still kill your troops. Your SAM troops unfortunately fail to destroy any air vehicles yet, only hitting a Venom jet once during a run, and hitting the gunship once before getting shredded by 10 autocannons. Enemy angry mobs, as anticipated, do nearly no casualties to your troops. Resulting in deaths of:
-22 riflemen
-6 snipers
-5 LMG
-6 AT
-7 SAM
-2 special riflemen
-1 artilleryman
---------------------

[Lé Badger]

Heheh, I prolly shouldn't have
So, if I have calculated correctly, these are what is left:
20x AK49A Standard Riflemen
2x Venom Ground Attack Jet (one damaged, but still operational)
1x Osiris K-12 Superheavy Hunship
--------------------
The tactics will not change drastically. RPKs, AK-10/1s, OICWs and remaining ATs will search the area around for the enemy riflemen: It is clear that they are hiding. They will remain conscious of possible traps, covers, ambush points and such. They will not go on open areas and instead stay in cover.
---------------------
Snipers will now do recon missions: They will scout the area and tell the infantry about what is going on, or may be going on. Once they spot the infantry the OICWs will take the first shots and then snipers will eliminate them.
HSAM-2s, unexpectedly, will continue trying to hit the Osiris and Venoms.
15 of the remaining ATs will climb the hill and try to do a very brave maneuver: They will try to hit the Osiris and Venoms. Even if they are unsuccessful, they will frustrate them and will give the AAs much more space. This distraction of the ATs, done for AAs should be very helpful.

[ProkAdama]

50% of infantry - the troop count is 207 angry mob, 10 infantrymen - all vehicles except rocket buggy and heavy tank...
--------------------
Your troops completely crush the enemy opposition. However, the Osiris manages to kick more butt, scoring another 32 kills in your ranks. Ground attack jets manage to mutilate 6 artillerymen before ending up in a fireball. The heavy tanks and rocket buggy blasts another 15 infantry. Ask a mod for the income.

[sgtsammac]

6.5k per day methinks

[ProkAdama]

Hmm... I thought it was 7k last time... but I won't argue

[Lé Badger]

Aight, thanks for the battle Prok.
So, these are the losses:
------
-32 riflemen, if I have calculated correctly?
-6 snipers
-5 LMG
-6 AT
-7 SAM
-2 special riflemen
-7 artilleryman

[ProkAdama]

No. That's wrong... you lost more than that. 47 more assorted infantrymen than what you listed

[Lé Badger]

A total of 79 riflemen, yes?

[ProkAdama]

yah

[sgtsammac]

I don't remember what it was last time.
