[Note: Task Force Hoeft is presented as a series of eight scenarios. The US force is the same in each scenario, however OPFOR has a different map entry schedule or march order in each scenario. The less extended the OPFOR march order, the more difficult the US mission will be. Also, the OPFOR regiment is mounted in BTR infantry fighting vehicles in the first four scenarios in the series, while harder BMPs are used in the last four. Thus Task Force 4 is more difficult for the US player than Task Force 1 and Task Force 8 is far more difficult.]
