Semper Fi Syria: Breakout! (Patreon)

In Mission 4 of Semper Fi Syria the player has a choice between campaign branches. So I thought I would run it by you guys and the guys with Youtube Memberships:Having secured a beachhead, the Marines turn their attention inland. While their ultimate objective is the critical crossroad city of Homs, to reach it they must first cross the Jabal An Nusayriyah Mountains.

There are two routes through the mountains.

Route Eagle will take the Marines through the Homs Gap via the city of Tall Kalakh. The gap is a break in the mountains that separates Syria and Lebanon, a major transport corridor where the M1 Highway and a railway line connect the coastal plain and the Syrian interior.

As such, Route Eagle offers the easiest terrain but, as the most obvious avenue attack, is defended by the bulk of the Syrian 5th Airborne Regiment.

Route Tiger crosses the mountains further north, following Route 43 from the city of Safita on the coastal plain to the city of Shin on the eastern plateau. The terrain is considerably more difficult than that of the Homs Gap, with lower quality, winding roads and rougher, more complex ground to contend with.

However, the Syrians assume that the difficulties imposed by the mountainous terrain will deter any attack on this axis and have left its defence to a mix of Airborne and Irregular troops. So, what do you guys want to see?
