I fought against a worthy opponent.
The Dutch have green troops but are plentiful. The Syrians need some tanks and AFVs - and perhaps some reinforcements arriving on the high ground behind or on the flank of the Dutch to make this a fair fight.

The battle leans heavily in favour of the Dutch. They will take some losses, but as long as they stay below 30%, the Syrians get 0 points, which basically guarantees a Dutch victory.

I rated this as a 7, but from the Dutch side. My guess is that it is not so much fun from the Syrian side as you are being overrun.

My worthy opponent and I both feel that this battle is better suited to being against the AI rather than as H2H.

Syrian player here. Thing started out interesting. I had some chances to do some damage to the scouts but once the main force engaged I was rolled over. The ATGMs were a total bust - all hit the dirt. Sigh
