This scenario came about because we could not remember exactly where everyone was when we ran out of time doing "Rock Apes at Bay". It's about 2 hours after the events of "Rock Apes at Bay", 1st Squadron have regrouped and B company have concolideted their hold on the village. This was essentially a single close assault with no fancy manouvering. The support flight have been split into sections with a section attached to each Flight and one section kept under squadron control. 1 LIGHT ARMOURED SQUADRON, 33 GROUP RAF REGIMENT HQ Regular/Confident/2 Support Flight - 2 Scorpions Regular/Confindent/2 B and D flights - 5 Spartans, 5 militia with IAVR, 2 Scorpions, Regular/confident/2, regular/confident/1 B COMPANY 1ST BATTALION "SOCIALIST SOLIDARITY" MOTOR RIFLE REGIMENT BHQ - 1 BTR60, 2 militia stands, Green/confident/3 T55 - 4 T55's, Platoon Regular/shaken/3 AOP - 1 GAZ69, Regular/confident/1 Mortars - 2 GAZ 66's, 2 light artillery, 3 HEF, Regular/shaken/3 B Coy HQ - 1 BRT60, 1 miltia stand, Regular/confident/1 B/1 - 3 BTR60's, 6 miltia stands, 1 militia LAD stand, Regular/confident/1 B/2 - 3 BTR60's, 6 miltia stands, 1 militia LAD stand, Regular/steady/2 B/3 - 3 BTR60's, 6 miltia stands, 1 militia LAD stand, Green/confident/2 GT1 A Harrier attacks B/3 who lose 3 BTR60's to SLAM's - they panic D flight move into close assault range, firing APSW's killing 1 stand of B/3 B/1 have 2 BTR60's damaged and 1 destroyed by SLAM's from a Harrier attack The T55's move to fire at flank of D flight but miss.
