I Situation

Shortly after independance from Britain, Altis is taken over by a communuist proxy sponsored by the USSR and has become communism’s foothold in the aegean. Our resistance has been supported by her majesty’s government, but now a soviet naval battalion has landed forces on Altis to end our resistance against the govenrment forces in control. We have been driven to the far western mountains of the island.
According to our contacts in the Royal Navy In a couple of days a soviet missile destroyer will be in range, forcing our insurgency to go to ground, but as of now the soviets are seeking to encircle and crush us swiftly with an overwhelming mechanized assault.

We have approximately 30 minutes Dig in and create a layered defense

Friendly Firebases

Assets

Enemy Forces

We sure got to feel that we were low in numbers, but I had fun. Thanks for the OP!
