Firestorm: Red Thunder

Report to follow;

My command has successfully conducted a fighting withdrawal. The battle took place in a forested river valley with a small farm at one corner of the area of operations, and several other buildings scattered throughout the area.

British forces consisted of a plethora of ATGM armed mechanized and air mobile infantry supported by ATGM armed helos, as well as mortars, various lethal mechanized units, and guided AA. The objectives were spread evenly across the area of operations, with the primary one in the center of my command's deployment zone, and the other two on the flanks. Our forces were spread evenly with a BMP-2 motorized platoon on each of the flanks, armor concentrated in the center, and recon elements pushed forwards to engage in delaying tactics. All units were concealed in forests or other terrain.

The Brits launched a slow push down the valley and through the woods on my right flank with some of their infantry forces, keeping the remainder dug in and concealed. Their ATGM infantry as well as their mech units, mortars, and AA hung back to provide covering fire from the high ground on their side of the valley.

The British ATMGs inflicted heavy casualties on my forces as we inflicted minimal damage on theirs, managing to only down their helos and destroy a few mech units. Despite these losses though we managed to delay them long enough or our forces to withdraw successfully.
