A Red Day
100 POINTSA 100 point game of Breakthrough. The Soviets attacking the Americans.
The American's with 5 of their 8 Abrams on the table block the middle of the table. The Soviets decide to drive right into them. The extra point of armour on the T64 helps keep casualties to a minimum. Stuck in static positions the Americans lose a full platoon of Heavy Tanks to flank shots. THe Shilka's find the arty which runs away faced with overwhelming fire.
The Ambush appears to pull the main attack allowing the infantry to arrive from reserve and dig in around the objective in the middle. A couple of AT AFVs for the Americans try flanking the short platoon of T64s still holding the middle. The Russians charge into and engage the HQ and infantry keeping woods between them and the distant missiles of the M901s.
The Defender tied down was not able to put a proper defense around the second objective and the Flanking Infantry arrive to claim it
Turn 4 and the Attacker leaves teh objectives to get side shots on the ambushing tanks. 14" move again is the star
The short platoon engages the HQ tanks and infantry and (just off to the right) keeps the woods between it and a platoon of AT AFVs seeking them out

superior report, and tough fight
@Don, I saw your writeup with Jim after I posted this and it clicked how text should work. My next one will incorporate that and be a little better.
@Storm, This mission let the attacker choose time of day. I decided on daytime because that’s how I war.
Nice win! American are very challenged by T-64! Did you play night rules? This give the US a chance
Nice Photo log, though could maybe use a bit more interspersed text. Congrats on the win!
Congratulations on the win… Nice looking armies!
