Quick Mission 70 Pts. Dan wants revenge-limit 6 turns-Dan's wife wants him home before 8pm( kidding, I think )
Same table as yesterday. USA VS Russia in a no holds barred grudge match.
( daylight--US forces are the attacker)
Situation: US armor forces spotted moving west from Cologne. Tank and mechanized infantry platoons spotted. Possible ATGM units as well, moving in company strength.
Mission: Seek out any mechanized forces and eliminate these in anticipation of a strong drive to Cologne.
Turn 1:
US tanks move the 2nd platoon and XO have some shots-fire-1 bail.
Hinds arrive!!!! they hit, but only bail 2 M1s the 6 tank T-72 company fires and manage to KIA a M1.
I forgot to take a turn 1 picture....but really what can happen-i'll take more in turn 2.
Turn 2:
Hinds are shot down!!!!! Even with the XO attached, the M1 platoon with 1 tank flees!!!! The XO falls back-fires and misses twice. The other tank platoon with the CO move down the road and the CO tries to engage the Russian CO. He fires hits but the Russian armor saves are 6 and 5!!
Russian CO cant quite get a shot on the American CO-the T_72s find the range and the US XO is KIA
Turn 3 :
The ITV platoon on the hill moves to cover the objective. 2 T-72s are KIA-1 by the lone ITV and 1 by the M1 platoon approaching. US fires at the Russian CO-1 hit, a bail.
Russian CO remounts-fires KIAs the US CO. The game should end as both the CO and XO are KIA, but we both think the game should continue so the game goes on. The 1 ITV platoon gets KIAd
Eeep, the US forces look really small when they’ve got Abrams as their core force! Or maybe it’s the Russians that just look scary!
Congrats on your win!
Good outcome
Nice job on the win Comrade!
Storm-Oh hell yeah!!! I am kind of lazy and have a day job as well-so, on the weekends, I’ll change the table, or if someone wants to really play a special mission ( like the 2 part bridge mission) otherwise I try to do 3 or 4 games on the same table. And since Dan and I wanted to get another mission in before the weekend-the guys will all be unavailable again until maybe late Sunday/Monday we used the exact same table. The only thing that changed was the mission-Free for All-and the locations of the objectives…and of course the starting locations of the armies. Plus while the cars are cheap, trucks and big equipment is so expensive at that scale. I think that one cost 13.00 while the cars were under 3.00
Did you play the second game on the same table? I remember seeing the yellow bucket loader before.
No worries if you did, My group set up two or three table and rotates different play on the table
Nice report

Another important win for WARPAC
We must not falter!
