Task Force Hurley 1 *

Map11

Scenario time limit:  50 minutes

SITUATION:

A US Army battalion-sized, mechanized task force has been given the mission of occupying a crossroads town near a dry wadi, and then pushing on to the east.  Opfor defenses in the vicinity of the town are limited to a reinforced infantry company (motorized), but do include some state-of-the-art antitank missiles, and the defenders are entrenched.  An Opfor tank battalion is currently located just off the map to the east, and can be expected to reinforce the Opfor defenses during the engagement.

MISSIONS:

US Army - Enter, clear, and hold Objective A, and exit at least 30 percent of original force off the east map edge.

Opfor - Defend and hold Objective A, attrit the US force, and prevent its exit. 

Admin Note 1:  Opfor wins if it has any unit in the town at the end of 50 minutes, or if the US has not exited at least 30 percent of its original force.

Admin Note 2:  Due to “heat shimmer” caused by the high temperatures on the flat desert ground, the maximum visibility range is 2000 meters for both visual and thermal sighting systems.

Admin Note 3:  The dark stripe running North to South near the East edge of map is a man-made sand berm.   The berm is the same elevation as nearby terrain, but it is a line of sight block (new feature).

Admin Note 4:  Entrenchments may not be put in the town.

Admin Note 5:  Bridges are high ground for LOS and road terrain for movement.

Admin Note 6:  Dark brown desert is high ground for LOS and clear terrain for movement.

Admin Note 7:  Left (western) wadi is low ground for LOS and clear terrain for movement.

Admin Note 8:  Center wadi is low ground for LOS and very rough going for movement.

ORDER OF BATTLE:

US - 2 x Mech Infantry Company, 1 x Tank Company, 1 x Air Defense Platoon (BSFV)

OPFOR - Motorized Rifle Company (BTR), Tank Battalion [Off Map]

OFFMAP ARTILLERY AND AIR SUPPORT:

US SUPPORT - 2 x 155mm Howitzer, 4 x F16/F18
3% chance of additional artillery ammo.
10% chance of additional air support. 

OPFOR SUPPORT - 2 x 152mm Howitzer, 2 x Fixed Wing sorties.
3% chance of additional artillery ammo.
5% chance of additional air support.
