The Fulda Gap (Parking Lot)
Campaign Mission: Hasty Attack
First game of the Campaign, and my US Mech Company was teamed up against AlohaRover and the BMP WarPact List….
My US Commander has not been very luck against the BMP hordes in the past. Today was no different. With six platoons off the table waiting for reserves, my three infantry platoons and Arty would have a long night holding off the enemy until reinforcements would arrive.
The infantry did their job. Night time was my friend. I was very happy with my reserves showing up. My A-10s never left the airport and were over at the O-Club….
At the bottom of the 4th Turn, there was smoke and wreckage surrounding the objective and was not able to move any one close enough to contest the objective. I am not sure if I could have rode a bike though the parking lot of flames.
As always, a great game with AlohaRover.
First Ever Battle Report. Don't be to hard on me... :-)

Nice battle and good report 🙂
Too many vehicles blocking the roads. You should have brought that famous Bulldozer. 🙂
Thanks Crazy Ivan…. Need to fly you and get a game in wth us…..
Nice report 🙂
Great report Klute! Happy to see the Gamer’s Haven crowd fully committed, even if some of you are fighting to the capitalist oppressors 😉
Gotta love the name. You might want to expand the size of the battlefield if you can. I played on a 4´x4´ table with less than 50 points and it felt congested! My next game is still going to be 50 points but I´m going to a 6´ x 4´ table. Hopefully that will give us maneuver room for a good game.
Nice battle report. I need to improve mine next time.
I call BMP Popcorn Machines…. Kill the tank and two guys pop out everywhere….. (FacePalm) LOL Fun….
Nice report. Taking on 60 BMPs is almost impossible to do even without factoring in their infantry.
Great post, lots of pics 🙂
I used the Motorized Rifle Regiment (MRR) from the Red Thunder book (99 pts)
BMP2 HQ (2)
3x BMP-2 Companies w/7 AK47 Teams and the add on AA team. 10 BMPs per Company. (60)
1x T64 Company w/5 T64s (25)
2x Recce units each w/2 BMP-2s (6)
2xGaskin units each w/4 Gaskins (4)
1x Shilka unit w/2xZSU-23-4s (2)
I dismounted one Inf Company on the OBJ on my side of the board and used those BMPs as a mobile gun platform. The other two BMP COs and the T64s rushed the OBJ in the center of the US side.
I have played Klute before and was expecting more Air Support, thus the somewhat large number of AA units I brought.
Klutes dismounts also provided a pretty solid wall. I wasn’t able to penetrate on my left and flank the center OBJ as I had hoped. And then he successfully rolled for reserves on his first turn with a 4 as the entry point. So he was able to bring on his M1s to support the OBJ. My only choice was to rush as many vehicles as I could into the narrow gap on his side of the OBJ and hope they would all die in place, making it impossible for him to move anyone within 4″
Thank you Red Alert for the comment. Didn’t notice the Mission did not show up from the Battle Report input. :-). I updated and uploaded my list. Need to remember to grap my oppents for future reports.
A good first. I would like to see the lists and mission played.
If you were playing the Hasty Attack – Fulda Gap you were hard pressed. All the 1st turn Missions favor the Warsaw Pact, but this more than the others.
As a Soviet I am happy about the win however. Keep them coming Klute 😉
