This was the first game that was put on the site.
Ar Raqqah 2013
This scenario shows the Battle of Raqqa which was an assault by the Muntasir Billah Brigade, FSA (Free Syrian Army), Jabhat an-Nusra, Ahrar ash-Sham (part of the Syrian Islamic Front) and the brigade of Huthaya bin al-Yaman against major elements of the Syrian 17th Division.
I have represented the rebel forces by a general mix of irregular battalions as detailed by Wikipedia.
The 17th Division is as specified although I have reduced the strength and added some detached battalions as I didnt think they would all move around as one stack. Ideally the player would be able to break down and build up the division as required but that facility isnt available.
Also present are three elements of the Syrian Arab Army.
Its worth noting that the city fell in hours and it appears that the 17th Division just left without a fight.
Ar Raqqa fell on 5 March 2013.
There are 25 airstrikes available after turn 10 by the Syrians Arab Air force.
