Battle Report
The end of Tank 66
50 POINTS
My men and I are probing along the American lines, searching for a possible weakness our Brigade could exploit. Suddenly shots ring out from the west.
A lone American tank has us in range. Luckily the shots fall short.
My tanks turn and rush to flank the American.
My shot is true and I bail out the enemy tank.
We continue moving on towards Hanover.
I know someone that has some gaming experience but has never played FoW nor TY. Has played a number of different types of games, but mostly skirmish types, never anything like this. He was interested in learning, so I am teaching him the game. We spent some time going over the basics, the stats for the M1 and the T72, etc.
We did Tank 66 first.
Set up per the book.
He missed his first shots.
I moved, and didnt.
Game over.
We reset and tried again.

Congrats on that mission 🙂
Incase you’re wondering, bayankhan, the same amount of criticism. Also, custom mission does not equal joke mission.
@Bayankhan, As I said, I noted that AlohaRover had mentioned his opponent won the next two games. I still suggested that none of these games be included in the campaign. These reports are important for the overall results, and having a game of 8pts a side is just not on. Be honest with yourself here.
Custom mission is an option, and it’s mainly used for the short missions released two weeks ago. Using the basic mission from the rulebook with a new player isn’t exactly note-worthy.
I wonder how much of the criticism would fly from the NATO pundits if the Abrams had hit both shots and destroyed two T72s followed by failed morale. It’s a game, and last I checked, custom mission is an option…
Fair enough.
I have to agree with others commenting on here; the starter missions in the rulebook are not exactly campaign worthy. Regardless of whether your opponent won the subsequent games, it’s very easy to put these up in key locations (Hanover is very much in the balance, for example)…
This one probably could have used a bit more terrain, and I’m not sure it’s the best mission for a campaign game, unfortunately.
I don’t think it was right to upload this match as part of the campaign; for one or falls WAY short of the minimum points options provided. Secondly it’s a joke mission, with no terrain, no tactics, no significant gameplay of any sort. Apparently the US are supposed to lose this, which makes it even worse. If people started uploading 10 games of this instead of 100pt missions as BatReps, I don’t think that’d be very sporting or fun for a campaign.
nice, a win for the hobby and the motherland!!!!
I have two more reports to work on. He ended up kicking my butt in both of those, he is picking it up quick 🙂
Well, when that crucial first shot misses, you’re gonna have a bad time. I hope you can get him into the game, always great having more people and I’d love to see him at the Battle of Limon in a few months.
