Join us this Sunday for a live-stream community wargame commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the Battle of 73 Easting, where forward elements of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment encountered a defensive belt of the 9th Brigade, Tawalkana Division of the Iraqi Republican Guard.

This was the first time the Republican Guard had been seriously encountered, and gave a fiery taste of just how intense the 1991 Persian Gulf War could get.

Modifier tables, and a Vehicle Damage TableModifier tables, and a Vehicle Damage Table
Here's our map.  1 inch (grid) would make this table 8 feet by 5 feet.  Each inch is 50 meters (Scale = 1:2000, or about 0.75mm).  A tank would (in true scale) be a quarter inch long.  This is to accomodate most engagement ranges for NATO 120mm guns and ATGWs.Here's our map. 1 inch (grid) would make this table 8 feet by 5 feet.
