OOC: Proud, I hope you don't mind...

IC:

The Millennium defense in the Highlands Pocket is anchored on several fortified mountain peaks. Demoralized by Coalition air and artillery strikes, the force of roughly 40,000 is still formidable and has made skillful use of the terrain. Lacking artillery, Leopards are dug-in on slopes (sometimes <45 degrees in incline) to cover tracks and small valleys, which are in turn patrolled by infantry. Elite units supported by Puma IFVs and more tanks (where practicable) act as fire brigades, rushing to threatened sectors and plugging gaps. The commanders know that they cannot easily be bombed to submission as what happened in the Cauldron, which was on relatively flat terrain, but they are also concerned about being rendered irrelevant to the course of the campaign. If they cannot tie down more Coalition forces then they are of no help to their comrades fighting in the northwest.

OOC: This is just a prelude, and my succeeding posts will be about the Millennium plans and actions to break out of the pocket.
