Combat Mission: Shock Force "Ash Shammas"

Task Force Thunder's forward elements (2nd mechanized battalion) are tasked with securing an abandoned airbase along Route Lightning. Syrian regular forces have withdrawn along with a general retreat down the highway, leading behind a company of special forces and a large irregular presence, including technicals, UAZs and VBIEDS. A Company's fireteams quickly establish a base of fire overseeing the entire airbase, paralyzing the enemy's ability to maneuver.

Those SF guys were a pain in the ass. Stubborn bastards. Btw, is it in real life so easy to smoke a Stryker? 1 RPG-7 hit in the game, all aboard dead.

@Devokonstai It's not a guaranteed kill in the game, just as it is not in real life. Destruction also is dependent on the type of ammo used, as well as where the round penetrates. I have seen strykers in the game take multiple RPG hits and only be immobilized, or only a few pax be injured or killed. Also, the longer range the shot, the less damaging it will be.

@tanit I think my game needs some patching then... Thanks, and nice name, isnt it the carthaginian goddess of love and fertility? =)

[tanit]

@Devokonstai Yes

@Devokonstai Also must consider the SLAT armor. Warheads are much less likely to cause serious damage when they get trapped in SLAT.

I enjoyed this mission. didnt have too much trouble. i attack the barracks first then the airport hq. then combining the forces and attacked the SF place :)

Would you recommend this game? I love simulators (namely military ones), and this looks QUITE good, with strategy needed rather than mashing buttons to "kill an enemy."

You had such an easy time moving ur infantry around n approaching the Spec Forces base without gettin mauled by RPG´s - those dumbasses didnt even bother to take shelter -LMAO! lets talk on msn buddy, i wanna discuss tactics for this map - as usual, i´m taking quite a beating. I decided for a pincer movement attacking both the barracks n airbase hq with one platoon each
