VS British
HMS_Belfast

Played no Retreat vs British tankers.
My opponent had 3x Chiefs on the table + Swingfire + infantry + Rapiers from the start, I pushed the T72 and BMPs forward but didn't hit any tank on 6s. With his opening volley he destroyed 3 T72s.
I couldn't see the Rapiers so I had to wait with the Hinds but moved forward with infantry and cleared a minefield. I got a Chieftain with a missile but only bailed. He remounted the tank and destroyed the last T72.
I pushed infantry close to his tanks but I couldn't assault them because of defensive fire. I hit two Swingfire but the last one passed the check, and in his turn it destroyed a T72. He got his reserves so had more tanks than me. I suffered a few casualties on the infantry but he couldn't pin them.
My turn 4 I move everything forward, pin the infantry with rockets, destroy the last Swingfire and assault the tanks again but I get pinned.
His turn 4, more reserves coming with the abbots. They blitz to bombard and hit the infantry hard. The other Chieftains kill two more T72s.
In my turn I do not unpin the infantry but I destroy two Chieftains from two different platoons with BMPs. My air is still out because of the rapiers. I hit his infantry again with rockets but don't kill anyone.
No reserves for the British but the artillery and infantry kill 4 more riflemen. The chieftains destroy 4 BMPs.
Without options I get the Hinds in. I lose two to air and destroy a Chieftain, but the last one passes the test. Infantry unpins and moves to destroy the surviving Chieftain, but cannot hit it with RPGs before it pulls back. Shilkas destroy 2 FV432.
Recce arrives from reserves and moves towards the Shilkas. The remaining Chieftains destroy the last BMPs. Abbots pin the infantry before the British rifles assault them and kill 4 while the others flee. With no units able to get off the other side I give up.

    Hello!

    Good battle report, and I think I have seen your BMP-2 when posted on the Team Yankee FB page.
    They looked amazing than, and they look even better now when in their right element – the fires of war!

    Also, to your opponent, he has painted the Berlin pattern, that is just amazing!
