Turn 1:
The Leopard 2 tanks move up and engage the T-72 tanks in the woods, killing 2 while the other T-72 is bogged down in the woods unable to help his comrades. The surviving T-72 tanks move out of the woods and back towards the town, hoping to hold the line from the advancing NATO troops. The Mi-24 Hind Attack Helicopters make their move.....
Turn 1 (continued): After minimal AA fire (thanks in part to nighttime conditions) the Mi-24 Hinds attack the 3 Leopard 2s moving through the fields. Unfortunately, only 1 of the Leopard 2 tanks were destroyed thus dashing the Warsaw Pact's forces hopes of a quick victory.
Turn 2:
More fire from the Leopard 2s see more T-72s being destroyed. Meanwhile, the West German AA flak guns open up on the Mi-24 Hind Attack Helicopters, bringing them crashing to the ground in a hail of devastating AA fire. The Warsaw Pact forces regroup for the next plan of attack, hoping to hold off the NATO attackers just long enough for reinforcements to arrive.
Turn 2 (Continued): The Soviet T-72s regroup and form a battle line to take on the advancing AA vehicles and Leopard 2s. The Leopard 2 tanks were the bigger threat so were focused down first. However, once again only one Leopard 2 was destroyed in the attempt.
Turn 3 (Final):
The West German AA vehicles moved to the side of the T-72s and pummeled 3 of them with vicious amounts of flak fire. The Leopard 2s moved in to attack as well, putting several more anti-tank rounds into the T-72 Tank Company. With the HQ Leader and the Company Commanders gone and with reinforcements still not having arrived on the field, the Warsaw Pact forces retreated and regrouped to prepare for the next battle.
I liked the game as a whole, however, if you could try and get them less angled that would be great 🙂
Or try and rotate them!
Your pictures should be rotated before you post them, it’s a tad tough to see when you have to angle your head 90 degrees to read the report 😉
Nice report. Tough loss
Always good to see well painted models on the table, some more text wouldn’t go amiss, otherwise great report!
Gepards are great AA, anti infantry, and Anti BMP. I really despise them. Luckily we only have one local that plays Germans 🙂
Nice report, great pictures.
Good report. Gepards are arguably the best AA in the game. Hard luck.
Wow, bloody fight. those Gepards are nasty
