RE: AAR: Modern War "The First Battle"
In my first play I was afraid to move the Abrams near the objectives for fear of an RPG attack. But looking at your AAR I guess that's what the smoke dispensers are for. Block the enemy's field of view during his turn. :)
Those Vehicle Only rounds don't do much. But agree that the SMAW is the best weapon to Disrupt / Pin the enemy.
One major mistake I did during my first playthough is I did not mass my Marines before assault. I all the previous squad battles games, I don't stack a lot of units in a hex as it meas more will get hit by enemy fire. But unlike the previous Squad Battles, you are organized into fire teams instead of squads so a one unit assault vs. an Iraqi squad is suicide. Looks like staking them won't hurt so much.
I ended up with a Draw. I will replay the scenario soon.
Also noticed that the Quality special option is turnded on. I don't usually turn that on but I think that's necessary for this game right?
