This is a simple set up to reflect the recent action between rebels and the Syrian Army at Ma'an near Hama.
The Southfront article describes this village as a strategic location but I cant see why.
However, It is on the rough border between rebel and Syrian territory. I have put 1 small company in the village but maybe I should have just put police in there as I think the issue is that the Syrian governemnt cant defend all these little villages although it is on the front line so you might have thought it would be better defended.
However, the Ahrar al-Sham units appear in the north with 4 motorised companies as well as some air defence and I guess can take Ma'an quite easily. However, the Russians get a single sorte soon after that might sway the balance and then appear later with more air power. The Syrians then arrive with a larger force. I think the question is how soon to attack? Immediatly or after waiting for everything to arrive?
