Wow, great table
Good report, try uploading the list as part of a PDF for extra experience.
Good show on a first battle report! Pity about the loss but there will be other battles.
And it seems snow falls early in Frankfurt :p Nice table with all the roads and parking lot!
Very nice table! I loved the AAR, and congrats on the win.
Nice report and better result
Hard luck on the loss and on you had a good kill zone layout. The infantry are better in cover, the buildings would have been a better place to move into.
Nice report and good luck to you on your next games.

At least I hope those BMP in the parking lot at the end were duly fined 😛 .
A good report to read, unlucky to not get the result in the end, but you’ll get them next time.
