Turn 1 British: Using the spearhead provided by the scouts, the British formed a defensive line around the objective and pointed all guns at the oncoming Russians. The Chieftains open fired at a unit of T-72s, killing a few. The rest of the units rushed to get into firing position.
Soviet Turn 1: The Soviets seem surprised by the British being so close to their lines. An unit of T-72s push through the woods to engage the Chieftain on the hill, but a few bog in the mud. The infantry exit their BMPs and rush the dug in infantry. The Hinds try to support the T-72s attack on the Chieftains but are wiped out by Rapier fire. The T-72s inflict one casualty and one bail on the Chieftain unit . The Hail battery fires into a group of dug in infantry, pinning them add killing one.
British Turn 2: The British return fire is swift and withering. The wounded Chieftain squad holds and return fire at the T-72s, killing 5 with help from their sister squad. The Abbots counter battery the Hail, destroying 4 of them. Another Chieftain platoon wipes the Carnations off the map. The infantry and APCs open up with the machine guns on the advancing infantry, pinning them and killing many.
Soviet Turn 2: The Soviets try to continue the push but are bogged down by all their dead. The infantry and Hail try to remove the dug in British infantry, but can't make the kills.
Thats a lot of Russian artillery. Nice board.
Very interesting table 🙂 I do love the hills blocking line of sight! I might have to make some of them myself!
And nice armies aswell, nice report mate 🙂
The British have troops to spare for Frankfurt. Clear indication that II UK Corps is taking the field.
I’m giving you a commendation for the sheer guts to face 150 points of red hordes! 😀
Nice table
Nic report!
Good battle report, how did your army go, is there anything that you would change out or do differently in your next battle…. Are you able to post a list of your army to if possible….
Sure that’s enough Russians in that corner? Could use a few more. Good job on the report.
A good result Condorghost, glad to see you back in the field. Report to the Briefing Room for updates.
