Revenge of the Russkies!

[seabolt]

TURN 4

Epoletov has made it apparent that "this unfortunate city" will be catching errant Sidewinders to the utmost of his ability to dink and dunk. (One hopes that the locals have taken to their basements with a keg of Pinkus Müller Altbier and perhaps a flashlight or two.) He began his turn by dancing more Mi-24s at the edge of the Apaches' "Bite Me" zone, drawing 30mm and SAM fire.

Then a couple of Mi-8 Hip-Cs tried to make their play, but U.S. opfire is pretty tough to draw down. They dove back for cover, probably on the river at the back of Epoletov's side of the city. (Which is more good fortune for him than I've had in my match with Splintex, in which his radar AA guns ~2800 meters away have been able to fire at my air units loitering over -3 meter water. Radar vs airborne LOS is a finicky business in this game.)

Anywho, my boys keep on keeping on. I'm hoping that one of these turns they find somebody to kill.
