VICTORY INSIDER

RE EVILS N IRISH GU R S

lliedStrategy in Hell s Highway

By John H utterfiel

The historical campaign game of Hell s Highway can be afrustrating experience for an Allied player who begins the battle onthe wrong foot. The extremities of the banlefie ld are the key - theMeuse l Escaut Canal bri dgehead, held by th e Irish G ua rd s of

XXX Corps; and t he Neder Rijn crossing at Arnhem by t he st Airbor ne Division. As t he Allied player, you must deploy and movethe British units in these areas with chess-like precision on Turn I.

XXX ORPS Outflankand Penetrate

The powerful forces of XXX Corps face their toughest opposition during the opening turns of the game, between the bridgehead

-....it; a nd Eindhoven . Your objective issimple: move north on the highway at

. 4 . e . all costs. Unfortunately, this

maneuver also simplifies the GermanPlayer s objective: block the highwayat every opportunity. Therefore, youmus t a tl ac k the Germa n forces withsuch efficiency and power on T urns Iand 2 thaI you destroy his entire frontbefore he can mobilize - an undertaking that is more easily formulatedt han accompl ished. Her e is a planthat usually works.

Initial Deployment: As stated inthe rules. you must place five

units of the Irish G ua rd s in th e brid ge he ad . You may th en placeany of the twelve other XXX Corps units available on Turn I t ha twill fit in the bridgehead. See the deployment plan in Figure I.No te t ha t the two armor unit s on the highway shoul d be in TravelMode. Five units a vailable on Turn I are not placed in thebridgehead; three of them will enter as reinforcements, as described below.

Airstrikes: The outcome of XXX Corps operations on the firsttwo tu rn s is largely determined by the success of your initialairstrikes. Remember, a successful airstrike on Turn 1 will disruptth e targe t u ntil the G er ma n p la ye r-tu rn of

Turn 2. While it s heartwarming to eliminate

a unit, disrupting it is sufficient since the unitwill exert no contr ol , cannot fire, and can bebypassed, allowing your units to attack otherGerman forces further behind the front line.

Use all six of your available air points to

conduct air suikes against Ger man unit s in

the following hexes the t ot al mod ifie r to

each airstrike die roll is listed in parentheses):0109 +1), 02Jl +2), 0215 +3), 0313 +1),0513 0), 0713 -1).

First Moves and Attacks: Let us assumeyou rolled a 3 unmodified) for each of

your airstrikes, an average result slightly in

the G er ma n s favor. T his would d isru pt th eunit s in hexes 0109, 2 I, 0215, and 0313.You would t he n move yo ur units a nd bringin th e th re e re in fo rc eme nts also. No te th at

yo ur Gu ard s h ea dq ua rt er s moves to a location from which it can lend combat engineersupport to many different a ttac ks . A fte rcompleting the moves, conduct the following

three attacks:

Attack I against 0513: Four units attack with engineer support.The British units in hexes 05 2 and 0514 use indirect fire so they arenot subject to defensive fire and their control will isolate the German unit at t he moment of offensive fire. The other two units conduct direct fire. Even if German defensive fire disrupts thestrongest unit, offensive fire will still be resolved on the 21+

column of the Fire Table with a +6 die modifier (+4 for brokenterrain, entrenchments negated, +2 for Ger man isol at ion) . Anyoffensive fire result eliminates the German unit.

At ack 2 against 2 : Thr ee unit s att ack with engineer sup·port. All units use direct fire. The defender cannot conduct defensive fire because he is disrupted. Any offensive fire result eliminatesthe German unit.

Attack 3 against 0313: Four units attack with engineer support.All unit s use dir ect fire. The disrupt ed def ender cannot fire. Anyoffensive fire result eliminates the German unit. Use exploitationmovement to advance the two armor units in Travel Mode to hexes0513 and 0412.

Alternate Moves and At/acks: Assuming you had b ad luck androlled a 2 unmodified) on each of your airstrikes, disruptingonly the German units in hexes 2 a nd 0215, you would thenmove your uni ts and conduct t he following f our att acks:

Atlack I against 2 I: Thr ee uni ts att ack with engineer suppOrt. All units use direct fire. The disrupted defender cannot fire.

Any offensive fire result eliminates the German unit.

Attack 2 against 0513: Two units attack using indirect fire. Thepurpose of this attack is merely to pin t he Ger man uni t. The off ensive fire is resolved on the 16-18 column of the Fire Table with a 0 die modifier defender entrenched in broken terrain). There is

a 1/6 chance t hat t he Ger man unit will lose one step at no risk tothe British units.

At ack 3 against 0313: Thr ee unit s att ack with engineer suppor t. All units use direct fire. The disrupt ed def ender cannot fire.

YOUR OBJECTIVE (WITH

CORPS) IS SIMPLE: MOVE NORTH ON

THE HIGHWAY AT ALL COSTS. THIS

SIMPLIFIES THE GERMAN PLAYER S

OBJECTIVE: BLOCK THE HIGHWAY AT

EVERY OPPORTUNITY. THEREFORE,

YOU MUST ATTACK WITH SUCH EFFI

CIENCY AND POWER THAT YOU

DESTROY HIS ENTIRE FRONT BEFORE

HE CAN MOBILIZE.

VI TORY INSIDER

Any offensive fire result eliminates the German unit. Use exploitation movement to advance the two armor units in Travel Mode to

hexes 0313 and 0212 i f the German unit in 0513 is disrupted in Attack 2. a dv anc e t he unit s t o 0412 and 0313 .

Attack 4 against 021 5: Two unjts attack without engineer support. Both units use direct fire. The disrupted defender cannot fire.This attack is not critical but it will probably cause the German unitto lose a step at no risk t o th e a tt ac ker s.

Turn Two S wa rm ah ea d with you r i nf an tr y uni ts, a tt ac ki ng a ndoutflanking any units that the German player does not move out o f

your path. Attack German units to the side of the road only if theythreaten the road itself. You will have plenty of units entering themap later on to mop up stragglers. Bring in the two Turn I reinforcement units that were not able to enter earlier, and bring in twomotorized infantry units and two armored recon units eligible to

en te r this t ur n. C on ti nu e east until you reach A rn ha m.THE FIRST IRBORNE DIVISION old that bridge

Your objective as commander of the Red Devils is to get

units into Arnhem and delay co-ordinated attacks by the Germanplayer against the bridge defenders for as long as possible. Once the2nd SS Panzer Corps is o n t he bat tl efi el d a nd or gan iz ed , a slow,methodical elimination of your bridge defenders is assured. Givenpoor AJlied play, the Germans will start pounding on the British in

hex 7917 on Turn 3. On the other hand, with an effective Britishdeployment, the Germans will not be able to mount powerful attacks against you until Turn 5 a nd will not be able to assault theparatroopers in hex 7917 until Turn 7 or 8

Ini iat Airlandings Proper play of the Red Devils begins withthe drop zone assignments. Figure 3 shows the best drop hexassignments for the units available on Turn I. The boltom unit ineach stack is generally more important than the top unit on Turn Iand should check for disruption first; because the unit in each stackthat checks for disruption second has a slightly higher chance of

disrupting with a step loss.

Note that a lt ho ug h hex 8010 c an be used for ai rl andi ng, youshould not place units there, because the airlanding die roll wouldbe adversely affected by t he G er ma n uni t in hex 8011.

THE IR NI N IVIL WNew Scenario For Gulf Strike

Mark Herman

In 1984, the AyatollahKhomeinidies in Qom. A mullah successorAyatollah Ban Ghani takes power. Thewar with Iraq continues. Leftwing clements (including surviving Tudeh party cells) are ruthlesslysuppressed. This bloodshed coalesces the moderates in the south to

react leading to a state oftOlal anarchyin the country. At this point the armymutinees. A new Iranian Nationalistmovement forms in Khuzistan aroundthe son of the shah. promisingdemocracy, not monarchy and arevitalization of the country. The

, revolt began in Megahex F-06 and,. quickly spread to G-07 and G-08 br-

inging the navyand the majorityof theair force into the revolt. A cease fire is

declared with Iraq by the Nationalistforces temporarily ending the connictin that sector. The Tehran governmentstarts an offensive to put down therevolt but it becomes bogged down in

the mountains around Esfahan. An uprising in the city of Shirazoverthrows the government administration and welcomes the Nationalist forces whoare continuing to be successful in the mountains.A limited Nationalist offensive along the coast is successful andculminates in the capture of Bandar Abbas (Nationalist forces control Megahexes F-06, G-07, G-OS, H-07, H-08, and J-08). TheTehran government in the north is thrown in total disarray by thissuccess.

In this environment of anarchy the Kurds increase their activities

(Megahexes F-05 and E-05) while a republic of Baluchistan isdeclared (Megahexes L-08, L-09, and M-oS).In Juneof 19S5 the city ofTabriz rises in revolt lead by a left wing

party calling itself the Party for National Reconcilation . They invite the USSR to enter the country and restore order . On June 20,1985 the Soviet forces roll over the Iranian border calling on allforces to lay down their arms. Iraq declares an indefinite cease fireand adopts a neutral posture.

G ME LENGTH

The Iranian Civil War can be played to completion in 45hours. The game ends at the conclusion of Game-Turn 30.

M PS

Use Operational Maps A, B, and C and the Strategic Map.

PL YERS

Player A begins the game as the Initiative player and controls theUSSR forces. Player B begins the game as the Reaction player andcontrols the US, Iranian Nationalist, and Governmental forces. Amulti-player game could have the Government, US, and Nationalistforces played by different participants.

POLITI L RULES

Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain. and UAE areneutral and do not set up their forces except their air units. Noground forces may enter these countries. US air units may ny overthe territories of these countries freely whereas all Iranian and USSRair units are intercepted and allacked, if possible. Each Unit Assignment Stage, all air units are placed in Intercept mode. The intercep

tions are handled by the U.S. player on a case by case basis. Thesesorties do not expend Supply Points. All other rules arc in effect theairbases and air units may be attacked.

SPE I L RULES(I) US forces may not enler non-Iranian Nationalist Megahexes until they are attacked by USSR forces. USSR units enter NationalistIranian controlled Megahexes the US may attack and intercept frecly.Once either of these conditions occurs the US movement restrictionis permanently lifted for the remainder of the scenario.

2 US forces may stack with Iranian Nationalist forces but with no

others.

3 All Gulf Council countries except Oman are neutraL Omaniforces will not attack unless their airspace or units arc attacked butUS forces only may use their facilities. US units only may use anyOmani strategic or operational hexes without restriction.

4 All Gulf Council countries except Oman although neutral willallow US air force units to ny over their terri tory freely. USSRovernights will trigger interceptions. Place these air forces on themap (if necessary).

S Nationalist forces must keep at least 3x Brigades of combatforces in Megahex F·06 at all times. Failure to comply reduces thesupply point reinforcements each Game Turn the condition is notfulfilled by one third (round down). The Brigades may have anynumber of hits.

6 Seven Game-Turns after US intervention, Nationalist forcesmay form Division size units with the armor and mechanized units.Prior to this they may not form Division sized units. All the rules for

Breakdown and Recombination apply. In addition 5x F-4 air unitsare received at a Nationalist controlled airbase, if none are availablethese air reinforcements are lost permanently.

7 Nationalist air units can be launched for interception through aUS E-2 or AWAC EWDA unit.

8 Iranian government units will attack anyone who enters oneof their initially controlled Megahexes.

9 Although the Iranian government forces are controlled by theUS/Iranian Nationalist force player they may not leave one of theirinitially controlled Megahex areas unless forced by retreat or othercombat conditions. They must attempt to reenter their controlledMegahexes as soon as possible. Whenever an Iranian government

unit is in anyones zoe they witl attack if possible. I f a choice isavailable roll the die to see which units are attacked.

(10) Whenever a non-USSR unit enters a Kurdish controlledMegahex (F-05, E-OS on the Iranian side of the border) except unitsthat begin in Kermanshah (1023). Hamadan (1622) and Arak (1926),they are attacked. Units that begin in the specified cities are only attacked if they leave the cities in which case they are treated as if theyhad just entered the Megahex. Additionally any non-Soviet unitsthat enter Baluchistan (Megahexes L-08, L-09, and M-08) are effected in the same fashion. Although the Kurds and Baluchs do nothave any combat units on the map their forces have the followingcapabilities: movement costs for non-USSR units in theseMegahexes are doubled (note that certain formations will prohibitmovement). In addition, each time a unit initially enters these

Megahexes (full or partial) they are attacked using the followingtable. Once having entered a Kurdish or Baluchi Megahex the unit is

not attacked again unless it first leaves then reenters the same



Megahex. Moving from one Kurdish/Baluchi Megahex directly into

the other elicits another entry auack.
