100 POINTS
Warsaw Pact
Nikolai Zhukuv
VS United States
Scholinger

Another mach against Flo and his Americans. We played 100 Point and the Mission was No retreat with me as the attacker. I wanted to overwhelm him with a solid Motorized Rifle Battalion.

Command BMP-2
13x BMP-2
13x BMP-2
5x T-64 (Cobra)
2x Hinds
4x SU-25

US Forces

1x Command M1
4x M1
3x M1
1x Full Mech Inf.
2x ITV
3x M109
1x Fist
4x Vulcans

He placed the Mech Inf., Vulcans, M109 on the table, with the ITV's in ambush. Why he didnt brought the M1 in ambush I did not understand... it should a big mistake.

I placed everything on my left side, because he used the mines very good on the nearer objective.

The table. In the rear (village) Flo placed his defending US boys.
My left. Superior forces push forward
My Hinds enjoying the view from afar

I pushed Forward with all my Units. As it was night fighting I was not afraid of the ITV's, also he had no tanks on the field so I used this Advantage for me. The Shooting was not good, as expected. He killed one BMP with his arty. My doomed Hinds... my poor Hinds. They wanted to shoot at the ITV's. I did not know that These guys also had a AA MG. So they shot down one for the other one it was enough... argh...

The second turn saw me again pushing forward. My planes also arrived and attacked his M109. Also my BMPs openend fire on them. So they were desintegrated in few seconds.

Flo did not reiceve any reinforcments. So he tried hard to kill some BMPs, but did not succeed.

In the third turn my infantery disembarked and also went forward. My BMPs were now in a very good Position to Counter any reinforcements.

My BMPs rushing forward... should visit Aldi later
The situation at the end of turn 3. It looks not very good for the americans

He finally got the M1's into the game. They killed some infantery, but not enough.

In the 4th turn I drove my BMP's into his M1 flanks. Very nice to put some 30mm rounds into the side of his tanks. Also the T-64 killed one M1. The other ones got bailed by BMP's shots. So they decided to run. The objective was mine.

But... another M1 platoon arrived and drove straight to the objective. He killed a lot of BMPs in the Shooting and the ITV's 2 T-64. My second Infantery Company killed the vulcans. So now the way was open for my SU's...

Unlucky american tanks

In turn 5 finally my SU-25 arrived and killed the last M1. 4 shots, 3 kills... now they had been worth every Point. The battered infantery Companie was on the objective and this was the victory for my Soviets.

Endgame
My 100 points soviet army
