VS Warsaw Pact
DANKO V.SEKULIC
After the first movement
My HQ to the right and the first of my Marder platoons.
From nowhere in the field, 5 T72 appeared. How could we miss them with all the tech?!
My forces are gathering towards the objectives

We played the Niederbayern Bridgehead. We played 71 points with me, the West German, playing attacker. Felt a bit weird when all other missions are with NATO as defender.

The Warsaw pact had:
1 HQ T72
3*5 T72

I played a Marder Company
1 Marder HQ
2 Big marder units
3 Leopard 2
6 Gepards
2 Luchs
3 Jaguar 1

The missions wanted both me and the warsaw to have reserves, so he starts the game with 5 T72+ HQ. The single platoon he holds in ambush. The HQ starts in the forest to the left of the objectives.
I start with 2 Luchs, 3 Jaguar 1, 3 Leo 2 and HQ.

I start with deploying my Luchs and do a dash with them up to the corner to expand my deployment and there i deploy my Leo 2:s and Jaguar 1:s.

First turn NATO:
I roll for reserves and get one on to the field. I take one of the Marder units. They move up to the first house in the middle. Leo 2, Jaguars and Luchs moves towards the objectives.

First Turn Warsaw:
His commander moves out of the forest into the fields. His ambushing platoon starts in front of my Leo 2:s and spread out. One of them fire at my Jaguars, three of them fire at the Leo 2:s and kills one and the last one shots at the Luchs:s but fail to hit.

Second turn NATO:
I recieve another unit from my reserve, so another unit of Marders appear on the field and move towards the big firefight. My Luchs moves towards the objecvtive. Leos and Jaguars fire at the T72:s and manage to kill one, and bail one out. The first Marder unit does a blitz and lets the infantry run into the house. The infantry tries to see the T72 hq, but fail utterly.

Second turn Warsaw:
The bailed out tank returns into the tank. The T72:s fires one shot in to the Jaguars and misses, and three shoots into the Leo 2:s managing to kill another Leo 2. The Leo 2:s passes the moralecheck so they are still fighting.

Third turn NATO:
Gepards arrive from reserves and moves towards the the middle. The last Leo 2 moves forward. The scenond Marder units blitz its infantry out into the house. The Jaguars, the infantry and the Leo 2 shoots at the T72 platoon and manages to kill them all.

Third turn Warsaw:
The night ends and it becomes daylight outside. The Warsaw fails to recive any reserves.

Fourth turn Nato:
The army moves towards the objectives. The first Marder platoon shoots its two milans at the T72 HQ and manages to kill it.

Game over for the Warsaw.

It is a solid victory for the West Germans.

    Nabeshin, I thought i took more pics then i took. Next time there will be more pics.

    Red Alert: I know, my friend played a game and it was over in i think it was 20-30 minutes. And the people in the cars are hopefully dead, or alive somewhere safe.

  • Nabeshin says:

    Overall a fairly good report, pictures are decent but a turn by turn account can go well with a snap of things that round. Congrats on your victory!

    Team Yankee games can be over quickly. The armament is so lethal.

    The cars at the cross roads reminded me of the walking dead. But here I suspect the dead stayed down.

    Nice report 🙂
