Black Sea quick battle action

[Paleolithic Monk]

I've been enjoying Black Sea lately and have been watching some of @Hapless Combat Mission YouTube videos on the game. Has been quite useful. Especially this video on the BMP-3. It really is a glass tank at times.

I'm currently in 2 CM:BS matches with @Jackal2100. I'm taking quite a few vehicle losses in one match as I'm creeping my recon units forward, but our quick battle has started with a head-on collision between our forces as we race to seize key terrain.
Where as I admire Jackal's panache in leading his formations with unarmored trucks, the risk was high and my BMP-3's blasted two of them into last week. Almost feel bad for the platoon that drew the short straw and was volun-told to lead the advance. The escorting BMP didn't fair any better.

Yeah, both of the lead vehicles bogged down. Slowing up the advance enough that I couldn't get out of the killzones before they were set up.

I was able to get that BMP-3 in a great spot, at least for a few seconds before it blew up in a spectacular fashion from the trailing BMP-1's cannon.
