Durango Valley Exercise: OPFOR PRC*
*
Date: June 1997*                
*
Battle Location: Hypothetical Durango Valley*
*
Battle Type: Meeting Engagement USA vs PRC*
*
Design by:  The Camo Workshop*
*
Scenario description: You command the advance guard company of a task force conducting movement to contact against an OPFOR consisting of armored elements of unknown size from the Peoples Republic of China.*
*  
Your mission is to find, fix and destroy the forward elements of the enemy main body.*  
*
The enemy main force is expected to arrive in the northwest quadrant of your exercise area within the next few hours.  Intel reports from a questionable source indicate that forward elements of the enemy force have been operating in the vicinity of CP 6, south of Hill 210.  They must be destroyed before our task force arrives. Our main force will approach from the northeast and arrive at at CP 2 in about 30 minutes (turn 12-15).*
*
Because of the uncertainty of the intel regarding the whereabouts of the enemy, a UAV is scheduled to flyover and provide you imagery of Hill 210 prior to your arrival.*
*  
Good luck, Commander.  We are counting on you to protect our task force from ambush.* 
*
Note: If played against the AI, the human player should play the US Army side.*
