Iranian attack on Basra, 1980


 The Iranians attacked Saddams troops on the outskirts of Basra. An Iranian M60 battalion with Basji attacked the forward Iraqi trenches.

The Iraqis had a single T-62 squadron with a VCR-HOT squadron and a BTR-60 company in trenches.

The first turn, the Iranians opened fore, and while pinned several tanks, were unable to dig out the infantry.

The Iraqis proceeded to use every Anti-tank weapon from RPGs, Milans and AT-3, in lieu of less tanks, which chewed up the Iranians.

M60s are very easy to take out. The Iraqi losses 2 VCR, 1 RPG team and a T-62, while the Iranians were annihilated.

And I forgot to take pictures.

This game was played on one of the night shifts i had with my coworker Mike who had previously done 40,000 games but was impressed that this game is easier to do. So perhaps next summer I shall do another one with him for WW2.
