The deployment saw the British garrison the buildings around the two objectives, with the AA hiding in behind the buildings. The Soviets spearheaded closer to the British position, but not too close.
Soviet turn one saw them using the cover of darkness to advance forward. They were not going to shoot as to not give away their position. Except, one unit got excited and opened fire at an apartment building holding the one of the mechanized squads.
British turn one saw the milans blitz into position in one of the buildings and the FV432s rush to meet the approaching infantry. The BMP-1 unit that fired was punished for its hubris and completely wiped out by missile fire.
Soviet Turn Two: The Soviets realize that they are out in open and rush down the road to the objective. The Hinds remain silent, not wishing the draw the wrath of the Rapiers and not being able to see anything.
British Turn Two: The Scorpions blitzed onto the right flank and destroyed an entire unit of BMP-1. The FV432s open up on the advancing infantry, killing some and pinning the units. The Milans fire at the BMP scouts and kill both of them.
Soviet Turn Three: The Shilkas hiding behind the building gun down the brave Scorpions that killed their comrades. The Soviets try to dig out the entrenched British, but Tommy is too well stuck in. The Hinds try to rocket the British position, but do nothing make sure the infantry keep their heads down.
British Turn 3: All the British guns open up. All the BMPs are destroyed by missile fire. All the Soviet squads get pinned down by fire from FV432. The Rapiers fire on the Hinds, killing 3.
Soviet Turn 4:Day Breaks on the beleaguered Soviet attackers. They must make one last push to try and win this for the Motherland. The infantry manage to kill many FV432s. The artillery finally is able to range in and kill a few of the brave defenders in the building. The remaining Hinds fired the cannons in a futile attempt to kill some infantry.
British Turn 4: For the British, it was pretty much a clean up operation at this point. The infantry in the buildings gunned down the remaining Soviet forces trying to take the objectives. The Milans fired at the Hinds and stuck home, killing both. At this point, the Soviets had no more fight left in them and broke off the attack.
Now that is a cool looking gaming table!!!! <3
More tex next time.
Good job, and thx for victory.
Huzzah Sir!
First time I’ve seen a proper city fight being reported. Well done on the win.
Love all the photos.
Nice, that urban battle looks pretty lethal when you’re forced into the open.
The MILANS that killed them were in the farther building.
Nice batrep, thanks for the ample picture support :-). Did the MILANs have minimal range on the Hinds
right at the end ? They look so close.
