"Operation Chokehold, Batrep #7" Topic

All,

It's 1500 on 29 June 1990 and Battlegroup Aguilera is pushing ahead towards the Cronistrian town of Pisa, at the northern edge of TF Galban's operational area. Once Pisa is secured the Task Force will swing west to complete the encirclement of the Cronistrian capital city, Miran. Battlegroup Aguilera was the first element off the starting line for Operation Chokehold, kicking off the operation with an enemy assault on the town of Kacak. Lt Aguilera is a bit anxious; his men are ready, but will this be the meatgrinder the battlegroup ran into in the first attack, or will they be victorious, as in the second?

Let's find out ;)

Overview, north is up. The Cubans will enter from the southwest (bottom left), behind Hill 176, attacking the city, Pisa (top center) and seize its vital road junction. Doing this will:
1) cement TF Galban's left flank;
2) remove the Dubrovna garrison; and
3) allow TF Galban to move on to its next objective, the town of Stanje.

Hill 150 is at top right, beyond Pisa.

The Cobra rolls in on a rocket run. To see how the fight went, please check the blog at:

One more fight to post, this one being Battlegroup Caballero's completion of the operation, the assault on Stanje to complete the encirclement of the capital city. But don't worry, that's not the last fight ;)

Let's hear it for the Cobra. That's a cool scene. But, I think 20 casualties vs. 30 casualties is a hollow victory. No doubt, propaganda will spin it in the Cubans favor, eh? haha… cool fight!

Propaganda!? How dare you Sir!? ;)

Hey, I'm on the attack and gaining ground against near equal forces, I'm happy with the casualties!
