Screenshots contain modified content from the stock game files.

Iranian volunteers deployed on a reverse slope waiting for Iraqi conscripts in a plodding movement through a gulley- ambush territory.





In 1973, the world watched Egyptian troops cross the Suez into Israel- thought to be a shocking military feat in and of itself, only then to see Egyptian troops dig in and curiously open up their small suitcases and reveal the contents- the first man portable anti-tank guided missiles used in war, thrashing the first waves of responding Israeli tanks. Iranians place a Sagger team 2km opposite the hills watching the road:



Iraqi vehicles alert the Iranian fighters as they spring the ambush-





But moved over the hill and many were cut down- this group was too far back to close the distance



The Sagger is brought into action when the Iraq vehicles just begin chopping up the Iranian Basij militia.
The lead tank in the vehicle column is knocked out- seconds later, the second T-55 will be roasted and skewered.










No one gets out of here alive.

Under fire from the Iraqi perspective- demoralized conscripts scamble behind their vehicles and are pinned down by the Iranian machine gun crew.








Iraqi mech infantry mount back up and fight out of the ambush.

I put the T-55 there some time ago, I haven't uploaded the BMP or the infantry textures yet. Still WIP. Smile2

A superb AAR! I was wondering about those skins on those troopers. Been looking for skins like that...working on a mission situated in the mid eighties in the Iran-Iraq war. Beautiful work. Can't wait to download them.

Great pics and skins, I can't wait for the troopers to become available. I am planning on a mission set in that period.

As always K5, superb job.

I find this REALLY nice,just my picky eyes find the head-rest of the body ratio a bit off.

Or just curiously large shoulders and hands...


Still, well done!

I think zooming on the figures to take the screenshots may make them look distorted.
