Couldn't Resist, new scenario in CSME data base.
Fictional: Syrians vs British.
Title: The Teacher [BSDC2016]
[NE of Damascus] [H2H/Arab] [FIC] [BH2H] [No VV] [Blitz Scenario Design Contest 2016 Entry] The Syrians, seeing their position for independence threatened began an operation in early June to make the British occupying forces think twice about their planned occupation & installation of a puppet government. On June 9th Syrian armored forces moved north and east from Damascus to secure the surrounding countryside. In the process they overran two British supply trains, captured the British drivers and commandeered the supplies. Twenty-eight British soldiers were held incommunacado as ransom barganing chips for later negotiations to follow. A day later British bombers in retaliation attacked a Syrian installation NE of Damascus causing wide spread destruction killing 23 Syrian nationals and wounding 47. Colonel Qureshi commanding the 5th Syrian Mechanized Brigade had enough of this British bullying and moved his Brigade forward to engage the British blocking force at Halib. The British needed to be taught a lesson and Qureshi was their teacher.
Hope you all enjoy it, all comments regarding this scenario welcome.
