Learn to play demo game with BMPs and soviet infantry vs American mech platoon and 113's.

This skirmish was designed as a means to quickly facilitate an understanding of the rules and as a meet and greet for future players. No pictures as our board is still under construction. However I had platoon of us infantry with 113 transports and my opponent had a Soviet platoon and BMP support. The rest of our guys are still assembling their figures and this game was well received by all in attendance.

The Soviets were to push to the US deployment zone and hold the objective marker for approximately 2 turns, with a secondary of destruction of enemy units while the US had to knock out half of the Soviet forces and keep the objective marker secure.

Turn 1 was spent primarily to jockey for optimal positions. The Russians advanced straight down the main road bisecting the short length of the table stopping at a farm to offload their troops. Some fire was exchanged and two 113's were knocked out. The dug in infantry on the objective were peppered but survived the attack.

US turn was spent with the remaining 113's and dragon launcher teams opening up on the bmps inflicting serious damage destroying 2 of them and bailing out a third.

Turn 2 had the Russians running to cover, the bailed out bmp failed its check and was lost. The remaining transports destroyed the 113s and things looked dicey.

US turn lead to some good shooting which left another BMP a burning wreck while the Russian infantry took a serious beating and three squads were mowed down. A failed moral check left the red's running for the hills. However tanks were on the horizon. The battle for Fulda Gap was about to get serious.

(Sunday we hope to have a battle with tanks and everything with terrain and pictures)
