    Actually I only had the two on the table they accounted for 1 T-64’s in the entire battle. I never got a reserve roll. It was the aggressive use of the M60 to get flank shots that did it and the very lucky first turn of shooting.

    for the amount of M901s you had, they did´ten seem to do much. isn’t that one of the big alluring things with the US CAV formations. the option of having loads of cheap spearheading ATGM launchers? and that you can pair it with your tank of choice. or did your enemy just managed to play in a way to not expose himself to them?
