Steel Beasts Pro PE: Armored Adventures
« on: January 29, 2012, 01:25:57 pm »

Well, the Steel Beasts Pro PE campaign I mentioned earlier is being delayed, but it will happen next month.  In the meantime, enjoy this AAR from a recent coop battle: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3506249.html#Post3506249

How big is a campaign? Is it a series of smaller matches or something like a WWII online campaign?  I've recently gotten really interested in realistic simulations since buying DCS: A-10c.  I feel like graphics usually get lowest priority and it always makes me wish they used Outerra.

So far, the number of people who have signed up is roughly 26 for the Finnish side, and 6 for the Russian opposition.  The campaign is a series of smaller matches.

Here's a video series of a campaign done by the guy who's running this next campaign (he ran this campaign as well):

The first company practice of the campaign was held today.  We had 2 rounds.  I served as Bravo 10 in the 1st round and as Hotel 10 in the second round.  In the first round, we didn't use artillery enough, were not cautious enough, and got ambushed.  We learned from this and swept the 2nd round.  8) The campaign commences either this coming weekend or the one after that.

The campaign starts tomorrow.  Here's our situation report:
Quote
CAMPAIGN KICK OFF SITUATION:

It's september 15th, 1996, 07.00 hrs.

The war has been raging on for three weeks now, and the Russian attack has ground to a halt. President Zhirinovski, fearing loss of face, has ordered more units to be moved to the northern front, including special airborne assault units and a marine unit, capable of amphibious landings. With these shock forces he will try to restart the attack by striking in the Finnish flanks and rear forcing the Finns on their knees...

1st Armour Brigade has been laying in wait, deep in Finnish territory as a reserve. Well camoflaged and spread out it has managed to avoid the full attention of the Russian air power. The men have been training and plans have been produced by the HQs...

14th September the Russians launched the second phase of their attack after much preparation. Units of the 76th Airborne Division were dropped in the depth of the Finnish defences, managing to cut many important supply routes. So far the main supply route (MSR) Highway 6 has been kept open and enemy air activity has been low due to well placed AA assets along the route.

During the night between 14th and 15th September elements of the 234 Regiment were dropped dangerously close to Highway 6 and 3rd Battalion of the Finnish 1st Armour Brigade were ordered to move in and prevent the enemy from reaching the MSR by defeating the enemy airborne force. So far it's unclear what is the strenght of the enemy unit, or how many more units will follow, but looking at the map it looks like the Russian airborne landings form a corridor that a mechanized unit could move along in the Finnish rear once the ground attack can be relaunched and a breakthrough forced. Also alarming news of Russian amphibious units forming up, clearly preparing for a major operation, have been heard and seen in news. Looks like the late september 1996 will see the outcome of this unfortunate confict in the north.

Current weather and terrain conditions:
It's still warm and the fall rains have not started yet - leaving the fields solid enough to carry the weight of armoured vehicles. Once the rains begin, the fields will turn into muddy tank ditches, but this seems to be weeks away... This allows both sides excellent mobility in the area of operation.

The first mission was played today.  We failed to reach either of our objectives, but we made a bridgehead for the rest of 3rd Battalion to cross the river and reach them.  Here's the short report: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showpost.php?p=211261&postcount=32
