Something Rotten in Cronistria

[bigjackmac]

All,

It's 0700 on 29 June 1990 and Battlegroup Aguilera is re-forming and preparing to make another push into the town of Kacak, where they just received a bloody nose at the hands of the Cronistrian Communist forces.  Casualties were substantial, but the Cubans are ready to get back in the fight and take Kacak.


Things are not going so well: Lt Aguilera is watching his right flank crumble, the attack on Kacak is again faltering!  He dismounts his command vehicle and leads his HQ section into the fray! To see how the fight went, please check the blog at:

Well, that's fight two of four from this weekend, and two of probably a dozen for the entirety of Operation Chokehold.  Hope you liked it, and more to follow.

V/R,
Jack

All,

It's 0830 on 29 June 1990 and Battlegroup Caballero has just crossed the line of departure, moving into the attack on TF Galban's second objective, the town of Premja.


North is up, the village of Brezno is at bottom right, the capital of Miran is off map to the right, directly east of #5 on the map.  Each number is a village/town; you can see buildings (black boxes), roads (tan lines), rivers (blue lines), lakes (blue circles), hills (green humps), bridges (gray pairs of lines), and forests (green shaded areas).  TF Galban will enter the tactical area of operations in the southwest (bottom left) corner.
1: Brezno
2: Kacak
3: Premja


Overview, north is up.  The town of Premja is at center right, part of Lake Bulodna at bottom right, and Hill 103 at top left.  Battlegroup Caballero will enter from the southwest (bottom left).


The bad guys spring their ambush, firing an RPG at the Cuban Scimitar.  To see how the fight went, please check the blog at:

Well, fight number 3 of 4 from this weekend is in the books, one more to post, then more games this weekend.

V/R,
Jack

Need to fix the address to "16". Copy and paste in the browser and change the 15 to 16.

Thanks Kipt, not sure how I messed that up, but it's fixed now.

All,

It's 1030 on 29 June 1990 and Battlegroup Caballero, having just been rejected from the town of Premja, is again going over into the attack.


With a HMMWV burning (bottom right) from the earlier fight, the Stryker pushes forward, and the ambush is sprung!


The Cobra rolls in to make a rocket run.  To see how the fight turned out, please check the blog at:

Stay tuned, more games coming this weekend.
