Left flank dashs forward, BMP2 remain stationary and shoot at the Luchs without effect.
Gopher hit the BO-105 three times, but no succesful firepower checks

View from another angle
Lars dropped mines on two units T72M. First unit losses one tank with a further bailed out.
Three Leopard1 score 3 hits on the T55, but only one save is a failure.
BOs take their toll at a T72 unit with Formation commander. Unit passes Unit moral
Leopard2 moves in the forrest. One bogs. The other two kill only one T72M and bail annother
Return fire on the Leopard2 kill two, the third runs away. Bad dices for the west germans...
Rolands withdraw
Two infantry teams were killed, also one Leopard1
Very strong position on my right flank. With only Gepard and Luchs able to contest the objective my oppenent refuses to move the Luchs to the Objective and the game ends at the end of my third turn. Otherwise with the new victory conditions i only had to kill the unconcealed Gepard and Luchs with more then enough T72M and T55 (even the Infantry and the Shilkas would be able to kill something)

Hello,
here is my first battle report. I normally play Brits. Due to missing Warpac players i swithed sides and grapped all equipment, which i was able to gather. I purchased some sovjet infantry and a box of BMPs. T55 were in my cellar from Arab Israeli war. Unfortunaley two friends had no time yesterday. I expected that they borrow me some T72. So i had to take Chieftains and one M1 as proxies. As this is a project startet last week, many units have no colours. I hope i improve this till my next report.

Due to my T55 i selected Volksarmee and went with MSU tank units. There you get so incredible many tanks. As i played for win and not for a score, this was acceptable.

My List:
T72M
3x3 T72M
2 Shilka

T72M
3x72M
4 Gopher

T55
3x3 T55

Inf Commander in BMP1
middle strong Inf with addional Strella team in BMP1
small Inf with BMP2
5 T72M

So with 25 T72M and 10 T55 it was clear, that i played a tank rush (it´s a little difference to my normal Milan infantry ;-) )

My oppenent played west germans with two formations.

Marder Panzergrenadiere
HQ
full Panzergrenadiere
3 Leopard 2

Aufklärung
Leopard1 Chief
3 Leopard1
2x2 Luchs

I don´t know, where these were attached:
4 Roland
4 Gepard
2 Redeye teams
4 BO-105
2 Tornados (which never arrived at the table)

We played rearguard with 100 points, so my enemy had 4 minefields. He placed them on my left flank. This was okay, because i planned my main attack on the right flank anyway. I had luck with the enemy Leopard2 because they had some bad dices- so my mass was overwhelming.
