Warsaw pact moves up in the first turn fireing to no effect
Gepards open up on BMP's in the first turn destroying all but four leo's unable to finish them off but one manage to take out the HQ T-72 and Jaguar 1 bails out one.
All hell breaks loose in turn 2 for Warsaw pact getting two unites in reserves and remounting all bailed out units taking out all the Jaguars, two leo's and two gepard bailing out the other two. Remaining leo and Gepards stay on the table and remount. Gepards take out 3 more BMP's and bail the last one Leo bails one T-72. Tried to shoot and scoot with leo but fail the die roll. (like most of my armor saves).
Last BMP runs away and everything else focuses on the last leo. Destroying him and crushing any change west germans have on getting one more point out of the game.
It was a fun game but i could have just used a coin rolling for armor saves on my leo's. Warsaw pact had the upper hand as soon as he got the reserves.
I think the issue might have been that there were open lines of sight to basically your entir army from the beginning, even if they were in concealing terrain, my advice would have been to use the terrain more to block your opponent from getting shots. But I am too often failing to heed that advice myself in the heat of battle 😉
Cool report
Very interesting list combination there, consider swapping out the Leo IIs with Is of you have them. Unlucky on the shoot and scoot, success there might have changed the game, good report!
Like the realistic table set up–good open fields of fire rather than crowded urban terrain.
congrats on the win
Nice AAR, with an awesome table setup.
Nice table
thanks for the report – nice looking table. What did you guys use for the crop fields?
