Scenario InUn010

A quick ten turn armor on armor scenario. Hyderabab has Stuart, Stag and those tough Val IX while the Indians have Stuart VI but Armor Efficiency with leader in all their tanks. Victory points are simply for eliminating enemy steps.

There are a few different approaches each side could take but I went for the head on clash. The Hyderabad was quantity but a lot of Stags which really have an armor value of 1 by the way and all ACs have leader so I made the tactical mistake of using them as tanks. The Val IX have a monster armor value of 4 compared the Indian Stuarts with 2. The Indian activated first and pushed all the way across the east-west road pretty fast and then the Hyderabad armor entered and the shooting and maneuvering began. The Val IX are way too tough for the Stuarts even with lucky cross-fire bonuses and adjacent shots but the Hyderabad made the mistake of trying to use numbers with their Stag ACs to get a quick victory against the Indian tanks and paid for it.

Hyderabadi lost 12 steps and the Indians lost 9 steps for a very minor Indian victory by one point. If I would have held the Stugs back, I think the Hyderabdis could have won but I am not sure. A pretty fun scenario to play, and I could see playing this one, three or four times, to try out different strategies and it plays out so fast. I will certainly try this one again.
