"Operation Chokehold, Batrep #5" Topic

All,

It's 1230 on 29 June 1990 and Battlegroup Elias is on the move, crossing the line of departure on its way into the Cronistrian town of Abrvo. The plan of attack is take take the urban area west of the river, consolidate, then infiltrate across the river and attack what is believed to be strong defensive positions atop a nearby hill. After some setbacks early on in the offensive, TF Galban seems to be rolling, and the Colonel is depending on Captain Elias to keep the initiative.

Here's the board with the troops placed. As usual, I placed the Cubans (bottom left), then I placed one marker and one dummy marker for every enemy rifle squad, and one marker and two dummy markers for the enemy vehicle, then flipped them over and placed the bad guys.

Cuban infantry (top center, top left) push ahead to secure the objective, but the bad guys have excellent fields of fire. That's a lot of open ground to cover! To see how the fight turned out, please check the blog at:

This is the first of four fights I played this past weekend. Hope you like it, and more to come!

Can anyone see this? I got the lockfile and it won't let me re-post it. This post is not showing on my main page, but it does show in the 'Modern Battle Reports' message board, though it says it has 0 posts.

Okay, got the lockfile again, still showing 0 posts and not showing on my front page. Sorry, I'm going to keep trying to post until I don't get the lockfile, hoping that will cause this to show on the front page.

For Goodness' sake, I give up! The post above went through like normal, but still the topic is not showing on the front page. I tried to re-post as "Cronistria Fight #18," but that got lockfiled also and didn't show up at all…

V/R,
