Firestorm: Red Thunder

WE got a quick game in before work this morning, We decided to fight in Niederbayern with myself playing my Panzeraufklarungs facing off against the BMP horde with T-72 back up. My list contanted:
HQ – 1 X Leopard 1
Leo 1 zug – 3 X Leopard 1
Leo 1 zug – 3 X Leopard 1
4 Lynx Zugs – 2 X Lynx
AA – 6 X Gephrds + 6 X red eye teams
Leo 2 Zug – 3 X Leopard 2
Helicopters – 2 X PAH
Aircraft – 4 X Tornados
Artillery – 2 X LARS w. Minelets

Soviet Forces were:
BMP 2 HQ
2 BMP-2 Motor companies
BMP-2 Recon
6 X Carnations
4 X Gophers
4 X Shilka
1 BMP1 OP
5 t-72’s w/ 3 mine clearing devices

Hauptmann Bastian Gehrke looked over the soon-to-be battlefield, his Panzeraufklarungs Kompanie had moved all night to get into position for the planned counter-attack. His Luch scout Zugs had moved out in two teams of two to each objective leading heavier combat units to beneficial terrain. His two Leopard 1 Zugs, old but true, had followed into the central woods and the sole surviving Infantry platoon was moving into the town to the south, “maybe they will find some coffee” he thought.
He looked over to his commanders “get the remaining rocket launchers set up here with minelets for the first volley, we need the Leopard 2’s on the left to guard the flank against those hills. Artur, I need your Fleigerfausts supporting the 2’s and left center, your Gephardt’s need to be on the right with the infantry. Air support should be available soon.”
As his units moved in to position, he received hurried radio calls from his forward units, contact had been made across the front. BMP companies were reported on either flank with a small T-72 unit in the center. He listened to more reports from his units, the infantry had secured the village and the center were quietly moving to the edges of the forest, from the left there was no sign of life, but he could see the squat metal hulls of the Leopard 2’s behind the hedgerows waiting for targets. “Execute plan Delta Four”
Engines screamed to life as four Lynx burst out of the central tree line and charged the BMP’s on the left, desperate not only to close the range but also to get out of sight of the soviet MBT’s. The Luch’s and Gephardts of the right took up concealed firing positions in the town and took the second BMP horde under fire.
The Leopard 1’s opened fired first from their concealment, they engaged the BMP’s on the left with five kills. The Luch’s on the left opened up and another two burst into flames and two more crews bailed out.
The BMP group on the right ceased to exist with the Gephardts, Infantry and Lynxs pouring fire into the tracks. Ten burning and two bailed BMP’s exposed shell-shocked infantry milling around the burning vehicles.
Almost lost under the furor of the assault, now that the enemy BMP had been engaged on the left, his Leopard 2 platoon quietly cruised forward.
The Soviet right infantry rallied but the BMP crews stayed out of their vehicles, missiles swarmed out reaching towards a Luch platoon, with five missiles on two vehicles the Soviets got their first kills. The Gophers, unable to attack the infantry, backed up to the safety of the Carnations. Soviet artillery and T-72 fire fell on the 6 Leopard 1’s in the central woods but only one succumbed to the direct tank fire, with another bailed out.
The Shilka platoon on the left opened up on the Gephardt’s but the thick armor and concealment allowed them to survive with only a bail. The infantry attempted to rally but failed although the BMP’s did get back in the vehicles and took a Lynx platoon under fire killing one.
The Leopard 2’s crest the hill on the left but remain hull-down and the surviving lynx platoon falls in with them. Everyone else stays in place and returns fire.
The Leopard 2’s engage the Gophers killing three while the Luchs score two more kills amongst the BMPs. The two platoon of Leopard 1’s fire on the remaining BMPs killing the remaining three. On the right the Luchs and infantry decimate the two BMP’s and infantry while the Gephardts engage the Shilka’s killing two and bailing two.
The rocket Launchers roared into action dropping a minefield in front of the Soviet T-72’s.
Hauptman Gehrke nodded and keyed his mic “Central units reverse”, then watched as the Luchs on the left and Leopard 1’s reverse out of their locations and put terrain between them and the soviets.
He received reports of the Soviets vehicle crews running away and the infantry near the town retreating. The Soviets just seemed to unravel after that once the German aircover finally arrived.
“This is good” he said to himself “the first step to Berlin”
