My opponent plays huge numbers of tanks, so I didn't bring infantry this time in the hopes that more tanks would be able to stop him. Even though he brought about half the tanks he usually has, he was able to remove 6 Abrams tanks in the first 2 turns. He forced me to stretch my force too thin by placing the objectives just about as far apart as they get. I couldn't concentrate my fire, and he was able to get side shots on some of my tanks.
6-1 Warsaw Pact.

Organization tip – in this game you either have to defend two objectives, attack one objective, or perhaps do both. Your army needs to have at least three ‘battle groups’ to reliably win, and some infantry is necessary to defend objectives. NATO pure tank lists are usually too expensive per platoon to field three forces, and thus your problem with widely spaced objectives. Think about it as you build your army.
How long did the fight last
Good try and too bad the bad guys won!
I’m echoing what others have said but without pics, we can’t be certain how to help.

Sounds like a bit of a bloodbath. Was the table relatively open?
GI George –
