This game has been on the to-do list for a while. It was recoreded a few days ago when I played my friend Pelikanen. We did a game with 3 Leopard 2's facing off against 10 T-72M's.
The game was more for fun and trying the missions out.
We will be playing higher points later in the campaign. Alot of people also mentioned that my West German players/friends don't move around alot with their bigger tanks. They usually hope I won't hit htem with 5+ and that they will hit atleast half of their hits when shooting back. Sadly they miss or fail the FP test giving me a 50/50 to get back into the game with that vehicle.
As the campaign is getting close to the end, we are moving back now to using the missions with some minor modifications.
Hauptmann Wilhelm had received instructions to reach Niederbayern and get visual confirmation that the line was holding. But also deal with any forces encountered.
He had passed Major Kriegler earlier right before he had gone into actions against a American force of unknown strength. The Major had burned with the same vengeance and rage as many other soldiers of the NVA. They all wanted to rearrange the front line and push it further away from home. Closer to France. The news of his sortie hadn't reach him yet. But he prayed it had been a victory.
Over the radio he heard one of the tank commanders in the front informing him of movements in the forest on the other side of the city. Preparing for the event of combat he sat down into the cupola and closed the hatch and peered down the scopes looking for targets as they rolled in to the city using the wheatfield as cover.
He hoped to meet Major Kriegler on the way back to the Kommendant and was looking forward to swapping war stories of both their successes.
After having played a few games with Leopard 1 we went on to try the prestine master mind of engineering from the German Bundeswehr. The Leopard 2. A scary tank with all the right modifications.
I have great respect for the Leopard 2 and a moderate respect for the Leopard 1. They still hurt but I get a much higher chance of success and my hits in return can actually go straight for FP.
We both agreed after this that we wanted to do higher points again and have 80-100 pts battle if not even more! I am having more games tomorrow, one American and one West German. Let's see what happens in the next games.
One thing is for sure, alot more graphics ;)
Normally I don’t care for small battles, but this one was beautifully presented making great use of the tighter focus. Well done on all counts!
Very beautiful report!
Great Report and Nice Pictures
What more can I say? Excellent job as usual and Leo IIs are no good in a small list, unfortunately.
