Recon in Force at Bajerke Dumez

Chernarusian forces consisting of a T-80BV tank company, a motorized rifle company (BTR) will cross the river at Reya Gunde Bihar unopposed and attempt to probe into Bajerke Dumez, about four kilometers to the northwest.  the time is 0615 hrs, November 25th, 2013.

Arma 2 doesn't have very good engineering means save for mines, and most of the bridges will not take armor vehicles heavier than 23 tons, or the weight of a BRDM scout car.  The bridge at Reya Gunde Bihar doesn't seem to have that problem except at the verges where tanks tend to bounce as they move across.  About half the time the driver loses control and the tank flips, so when that happens, I have to restart the game.

Opposing the Chernarusian probe is an enemy tank company of 12 T-55/122s and a reinforced motorized rifle  platoon deployed in Bajerke Dumez.  Also, an MI-24 flight is on call, and a T-34 tanks company with a rifle company of dismounts is heading towards the town.

First the river crossing:

Attack on the Bridge at Reya Gunde Bihar

Two hours after the last battle at the bridge at Reya Gunde Bihar. the enemy decides to call in air support and make a final attempt to take the bridge.

In all, three T-55/122s and six squads of infantry three of them without their BTR battle taxis close in on the location.  Additionally, two SU-15T jet fighters loaded out as ground interdiction fighters are called in to support the attack.

On the Chernarusian side, as before two T-80BVs and one BMP-2 are the only other armor the Chernarusian have other than the three BTR rifle squads.  The time is 2100 hrs.

The "good old days" before the attack begins.

Stalemate: Bridge at Reya Gunde Bihar, Part 2

Two hours later, 2000 hrs, repairs were affected on one of the two disabled tanks and one of the BMPs.  The Chernarusian command group has left the area and the enemy has only lost four BTRs.  The Chernarusian commander still hasn't found the enemy tanks.

This time, the enemy decides to make a stab at taking the bridge.  The actual objective is the far verge of the bridge.  If either side takes that objective, that side controls the bridge.  As soon as the enemy T-55/122s appear, the shooting begins.

The player's command BTR infantry group, about 150 meters south of the southern verge of the bridge.
