This game covers the ISIS counter strike on the Al-Bab Hospital and capture of Leopard tanks as well as the renewed Turkish offensive that followed through to 27 December 2016. It is entitled The Fall Of Al-bab even though Al-Bab has not fallen. The fall was reported by the Express and from that I assumed that it had fallen.

THe set up is arranged that ISIS anti-tank units are in position to assault a Turkish tank company without infantry support. With 22 to 4 ISIS should win. What follows should be inevitable though as more and more Turkish airpower and hardware comes into play.

27 December 2016 - I have made some modifications as the Southfront site indicates that Al-Bab has not fallen. I did just read the Express article and assume that it had as it seems pretty straight forward, but it appears not. Interesting that reporting can be so skewwed, I have not seen such bi-polar reporting before, I dont think. To reflect this I have added a number of larger ISIS battalions and anti-tank units in position 4o, as such, if you want the weaker version, ignore thos units, else it should be a bit tougher.

20 December 2016 - Southfront reports that Turkey has still not taken Al-Bab and is unlikely to do so until 2017.
